Barbara:
Thanks, looks like the thread found me! :)

RockofAges:
That is very helpful as an additional data point in the Isles. I have subsequently found the family listing in the 1861 census, but not the 1871 which is important as some family immigrated to the US in about 1868. Having them unreported in 1871 would clinch this Peter O'Connor as the correct one, can you tell me where you found that? I am using the database through ancestry.com. I will also see what I can find through the Hull city police.
Many thanks,
Donald

Roscommon / Re: Kelleys of Roscommon

Polly: probably just a coincidence of  common names, but I am tracing my ggfather James Kelly presumably from Sligo c. 1842 who was orphaned and emigrated to Durham to live with relatives from Roscommon, the O'Connors before moving on with his wife Catherine (nee' O'Connor) to the US. I would be interested in what you find, as I may be looking in the wrong county, good luck.

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / O'Connor in Yorkshire

Hi: first post here. I am backtracking the immigration of James Kelly/Catherine O'Connor and just found a match in the 1851 UK census. It appears that Catherine's father Peter O'Connor was a policeman, resident in West Sculcoates, Yorkshire.
Any information on police available?
Thanks,
