Hello Jennifer and thanks for joining in the hunt! 

That looks very promising what you have found, in fact I would say it is spot on! The Polly mentioned is very much a mystery  It does quite clearly say Polly as well, hmmm.

And guess what household is at the top of the same page...the McIntyre family Richard married into  Although Mary Ann the daughter he married isn't listed I'm sure that is them. Unbelievable, thank you

Hi  Em

Polly was  a very common nickname for Mary!
(I have a Gt Aunt Poll, who was really a one)

(google: polly nickname mary)

Cheers

Hi again, thank you for the Polly information...I had no idea about this...looking at the Kinlins and McIntyres in the 1871 censuses it would appear there is a young child (William Kinlin, 3 months and Polly McIntyre, 2 years) in each household...seemingly a bit young to be the children of the householders as stated but more likely to be grandchildren perhaps?

I found Mary Ann McIntyre (Richard Kinlin's wife-to-be) in 1871, 3 pages before her family, lodging with the Davies family also in Union Cottages, listed as a hawker I think.

Lots more work to do, I need more coffee I think! 

Thanks again, Em

Well, can I heck as like find any birth registrations for Richard b 1848 Manchester and his sisters Ann and Mary . Any help welcomed 

Even going countrywide nothing obvious springs up with any of them. I thought I was going to have problems tracing the Kinlin family back to Ireland (which I wouldn't know where to start with) but I can't find any of their births on the mainland...is it possible they weren't registered?
