Can anyone help? Michael Dougan Manchester

[colnago]

Hi. I am trying to find my Gt Granddad Michael Dougan on Manchester Census but to no avail prior to 1891. He was born in 1849 or thereabouts. He appears in the 1891 census married to Annie and with several children and living at 27 Dickens Street Manchester.  I know that for several years he had a Hairdressers  in Dale Street Manchester 1879 - 1886 so must have been living in Manchester throughout those years but I can find no trace of him before t 1891. He married in 1886 his wife being Ann McGuinness . The marriage certificate states that his father was also Michael Dougan. Can anyone come up with any suggestions? I have just hit a blank wall.

1891 - RG12/3246 folio 23, page 39

Slight change of occupation - Glass Dresser

He was a glass dresser and then a Barber. And then he must have gone upmarket a little. On his death certificate he was shown to be a master Hairdresser. In the Slater Directory for Manchester it shows him as having a shop in Dales Street.

Apologies - you already had the 1891

Could he be down as Duggan?

Apologies - you already had the 1891 

But the address given was wrong, the family are at 3 Cohen street, Manchester.

Do you have his marriage to Annie as that should give details of his father.  Sorry I see you have the certificate could you post the details on his father Michael and the witnesses

He was born in Manchester and lived all his life in Manchester. Several addresses. 1891 3 Cohen Street, 1901 Dickens Street, 1907 he died at what was probably his home address of 26 Werneth Street.  I have looked through the names of Dugguns and other names that could have been mistaken for Dougan. Thanks for all the interest so far. The Slater directory for Manchester show he had a Hairdressers shop at 43 Dale Street Manchester from 1879 to 86 though was also living at 8 Butler Street. I have no idea why they moved around so much.
