Joseph Mc Corry in Preston in 1851 [+/-1841] Census

[The Duke]

I'm trying to find a Joseph McCorry in the Church St area of Preston in the 1851 census.Does any kind person have access to indexes to look for him.In Oct 1851 he is named as the father of an illegitimate child in the newly released All Saints,Preston records on Lancashire OPC.I cannot find him listed in the Paperback indexes produced by M & L FHS.In the All Saints records he is listed as an Omnibus Guard.

Hi,

No sign of Joseph in 1851 Census, however I did find this.

Hi,

There is also this one in the 1851 census living at 2 Aspinall Street, Preston.  I think this was just around the corner from Friargate so only a hop, skip and jump to Fishergate and Church Street.

Joseph McCurrie, Head, M, 33, Servant, Ireland Antrim
Elizabeth, Wife, M, 27, Dressmaker, Shropshire Glynmornoss   (Glynmorlas?)

HO107/2266 Folio 149 page 33 and 150 page 34.

Joseph has been transcribed as aged 53 but looking at the image I am sure it is 33.

I can`t find them on the 1861 though.

Regards,
Mo

Hi Mo,Sue and John,

Thanks for you replies,which are very helpful....though they raise some rather interesting possibilities about ones genes...If the All Saints,Preston registers on Lancs OPC are to be believed, It could be that this Joseph McCurry/Mc Corry had a child with one woman in Preston [Ellen Hall],whilst married to another [elizabeth ]his wife.Scandallous.
