James Flanigan parents?
« on: Friday 14 August 15 23:21 BST (UK) »
In the England 1911 census, my ancestors, an Ellwood family living in Northumberland, had a boy living with them as an adopted son called James Flanigan. His place of birth is said to be Cork, although I don't know how accurate this is, in around the year 1894. I think he may be a relative of Henry Largey or his wife Sarah (I don't know her maiden name yet) as they originally came from Ireland.

Does anyone know who James Flanigan's parents are?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Ellwood (Prudhoe, Northumberland)
Berkley (Ponteland, Northumberland; Heddon-on-the-Wall, Northumberland)
Richardson (Northumberland)
Lowdon (from Edmundbyers, Durham; Mickley, Northumberland)
Another Davison (also of Mickley, Northumberland)
In Horton, Northumberland: Davison, Beecroft (previously from Houghton-le-Spring).
In Sunderland, Durham: Hunter, Watson (also of Wallsend, Northumberland; Blackhill, Durham)

Do you have marriage record for Henry & Sarah as this will give her maiden name, and then maybe able to trace her origins if she came from Ireland.
I had a look at 1901 census Ireland for James Flanigan but nothing showing. Did James marry? If so his marriage record may give his fathers name.  The Baptismal records for Ireland are now available free online but without having a name of town/parish in Cork it would not be helpful. :)
