Mary Green born abt 1848 Chorlton on Medlock

Hi. Can anyone please do a lookup for me for Mary Green born abt 1848 Chorlton in the 1851 census.I am having huge problems establishing a marriage for her parents, and was wondering if there was another Mary listed in that area. I have found a birth for a Mary with mmn as Mahon. My Green family were listed as being at Taylor's court in 1851, father John, mother Catherine, siblings John and Thomas. I have recently got Thomas' birth cert with mmn as Mack. John also has a listing with mmn Mack but not Mary. Any help would be terrific. Many thanks

Just to say, there is a death in June quarter 1849 for a Mary Green 0 yrs.

Have you discounted the marriage I found in your other thread?

Hi heywood. No I haven't. I still think there are so many coincidences with the Mahon connection. Just trying to find some definite info to conclude this. It's driving me crazy!

John’s birth certificate might give an address to compare with their marriage certificate. It is probably unlikely but you never know.

heywood another thing I found recently was the baptism for Michael in 1854 at St Wilfrids and yet again mmn Mahon. Will I ever get to the bottom of it!

John Green married Catherine Mahon Sep 1844 Manchester 20 501

According to Lancs BMD they married at Manchester Collegiate.

Is it possible that on the birth refs the Registrar may have misheard/misunderstood the Irich Accent when hearing the name Mahon and put down Mack instead?

For some thought ...

1840 marriage
Ann Mahon father Michael  to John Keefe both of 10 Anvil Street.
I think Catherine was at 15 Bk Anvil Street

1841 570/34/15

John and Ann Keefe living in Forge Street (parallel with Anvil Street).

Emeltom I'm hoping that's the answer. What's the possibility of 2 families having children of the same name and order of birth and having parents of the same name? And, living in the same locality. Surely it's more than a coincidence. I'll order Johns birth cert anyway.
