Durkin Family, 1891 Census, Liverpool

[stapler40]

Hello:

I am attempting to locate the census return for my great grandfather, James Durkin, born approximately 1881 in Liverpool. I have a marriage record for James Durkin and Elizabeth Garner, 1901, in St. Joseph's, Liverpool. I know that James father, Michael was born in Ireland, and he was a french polisher.

Thanks

According to www.liverpoolhistoryprojects.co.uk Michael Durkin married Julia Moher in 1860 at St Nicholas RC church

The marriage is also on ancestry Michael Durkin of Blake Street son of James Durkin and Julia Moher of Cropper Street and daughter of John Moher. It took place on 18 Nov 1860 at St Nicholas RC.

Thank you Gibel that explains why I couldnt find a Julia Meagher

Would appreciate some help here:

In the 1881 census, a Julia Durkin is listed as 43 years of age, which, if correct, would give her a birthdate of approximately 1838. We know that her husband is listed as a widow on the 1891 census, so looking between 1881 and 1891 I've located one Julia Dukin, died Manchester, 1882, age 39..which would give her a birth year of 1843..a difference of 5 years.

This is the only death record that I've been able to find for a Julia Durkin in West Derby. Any thoughts?

Cheers

Bernie
