Dublin Genealogy Help

[pholahan]

Hi, if you give us some names, we may be able to help, a fresh pair of eyes.

I have an ancestor who wed in 1848 in Dublin, St Paul's. it was a non Catholic marriage, and civil reg of them begun in 1845.

Since it looks like you're doing research in the UK maybe you could help me break through another brick wall. My great grandfather, George Richard Holahan, is said to have been born in Manchester. My research of US Census records show his year of birth between 1858 and 1862. His parents came from Ireland and Lancashire was probably a stopover before coming to the US. I have searched Freebmd.uk, Lancashirebmd.org.uk, and Lan-ops.org.uk to no avail. There have been several records I have ordered that looked promising only to find the parents were not my George's parents. Any help in this regard would be much appreciated!

Just out of interest, did you order marriage record for James Horan and Ellen Howard and  the birth record for George Horne, with  mother Howard in Ancoats?

There is this marriage in Manchester - register office or registrar attended

June quarter 1857 Manchester vol 8d pg 656
James Horan and Ellen Howard

There is then a birth in Manchester
George Horne with mother Howard
September quarter 1858 Manchester 8d pg 92

I can’t link any of these to 1861 censuses and there are several similar names.

There is also a George Horahan b 1859 with mother Howe.

Also this George at 1861 2964 /131/55
George Horan 2 yrs with parents Thomas and Mary.
I can’t see a marriage in Manchester to check Mary’s surname.

Yes I did and it was a dead end.

The search continues  . I have made some headway on Ellen Howard, my 2 grandmother, via some help from someone on RootsChat. I'm actually going to Dublin in two weeks and will spend some research time while there. Thank you again for your help with George Richard!
