Mary Ann Devlin
« on: Saturday 31 May 08 15:08 BST (UK) »
I am looking for help in researching my great great grandmother and her father. She is shown on the 1861 census as living in Greenock with her father a tailor. Her father Patrick Devlin was born in Ireland, do not know where. He is shown as widowed on the census. His daughter Mary Ann Devlin was 4 yrs old but shown born in Durham, England. I have searched Durham records online to find a birth for her but to no avail. I have no other details on the father either other than born in Ireland. He does not appear on the 1851 census in Durham. I dont know how/where to find details of her birth or anything about him. Can anyone help. Posted on Durham section also

This is probably a long shot Mercel but who knows? Michael Devlin, son of John and Ellen Devlin came to Greenock in the 1870's from Coal island in co. Tyrone. Ireland.  As far as I know his two brothers, Patrick and John stayed on to work on their father John's farm. John would have been been born in the 1830's. Your ancestor Patrick just might have been related, maybe even a brother!

I take it Daddy Patrick Devlin and Mary Ann returned to Durham?

Happy searching
