1861,1871 census BIRCHELL/BIRCHALL

I think I've cracked why he's born Stockport as someone's posted his registration as a policeman in 1870 married and born Stockport. He wouldn't have got into the police otherwise. Maybe he was thrown out when they discovered he was Irish. Do you have access to 1901. Maybe he's back in the police again!!!

Hi Art

I don't have access to 1901

I looked again at the index and it shows plenty of police officers that were born in all parts of Ireland, so that would not have been the reason for him leaving. Good thinking though 

I have found a marriage for a Joseph Birchall, son of Frederick, to Mary Healey at St Wilfreds RC church, Hulme, if this is of interest let me know

Regards, Dave

It is the Joseph Birchell born Ireland/Stockport that particularly interests me at this time as he could be a related to my gr grandfather Richard Birchell. Richard became a police constable after leaving the Connaught Rangers and was attached to HMS Customs in London in 1901.

I'll keep this Joseph in mind but at present I'm trying to stay focused to see if I get anywhere. I have little except Co Leitrim to go on. Perhaps I can get a death certificate later for Joseph or his marriage certificate.

In the meantime I really appreciate all this help. Many many thanks.
Very Best Regards
