1861 US Census look up
« on: Thursday 27 October 05 20:38 BST (UK) »
Would it be possible for someone to check the 1861 US census for me.  I am looking for Patrick Henry LYONS on the 1861 US census.
I have the following information that will hopefully help.
Patrick Henry Lyons born about 1835 in the US (Possibly Boston)
He had three children:
William Henry LYONS born about 1853 (possibly Boston.)
Margaret (Ann) Lyons born about 1858
Catherine LYONS born about 1861.
Margaret and Catherine may have been born in the US or in England (most probably US)
Patrick and his family came to England around 1861 but I have been unable to find them on the 1861 UK census.
Patrick was a Shipping Master in the Port of Liverpool so his occupation may well be something to do with Shipping.
I would be very grateful for any help.
Many thanks
