I am researching the Fitzgerald family of Wilmslow.
I have them in 1881 living at South Oak Lane Fulshaw Cheshire
John Fitzgerald age 41 born Ireland
Elizabeth A wife age 42 born Hyde
George Fitzgerald son 22 born Wilmslow
Francis Fitzgerald son 17 born Wilmslow
Arthur Fitzgerald son 15 born Wilmslow
Emily Fitzgerald daur 12 born Mobberley
Emily is born in 1868 at Town Lane Mobberley
I would love to find them in the censuses for 1861 1871 and 1891
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Cathy
The 1861 census is not name indexed, I have searched the area of Wilmslow where they were found in later census's without any luck, I did notice when checking the births of the children that only Emily 1868 seems to have been born Wilmslow, the marriage 1853 of John Fitzgerald and Elizabeth Cullen was in Ashton-u-Lyne ? and most of the children seem to have been born in the Hartshead (A-u-L) registration district. It always possible that they did live in Wilmslow and Elizabeth went home for the birth of their children,do you have an address from one of the earlier childrens births ?
Here are the 1871 details
