Hi probert282 and emgee,
sorry I couldn't read your messages earlier as Rootschat sopped working for me.
probert282 welcome to Rootschat. I do have more information for you on the Coyne family but it would be easier to send baptism details by PM after you have posted another couple of messages to unlock the system fo you (don't need to say anything much, just a quick reply).
In the meantime, I can tell you that there is at least one definite link between the Lalley and McDonough families as a Michael McDonough who I suspect, but can't yet prove, is closely related to my McDonoughs (the brother of my great-grandfather?) married a Winifred Lalley. It was the second marriage for both of them. They were in Court 2 in 1871.
And hi again emgee. The lodgers with the Brannan family in Court 2 were Patrick, a widowed furnace labourer born in Ireland about 1836, and his daughter Catherine, born in Wolverhampton about 1862. The name was spelt Gavan in this case but some of the church records have it one way and some the other too.
