    Hi Lango

    you say 'any information' but you obviously have quite a lot already. So, to avoid us giving you lots of information you already have, can you make a specific request?

    Dear Sumi,Thank you for replying.I am new to all this and am not sure where I should be going.Great granddads occupation and where he was originally from and perhaps go back even further.Dad and grandad were from Birkenhead.

    Both CheshireBMD and FreeBMD have John Thomas’s wifes surname as MCKEOWN. Their 7 children are down as mothers maiden name McKeown too. Is this the English way of spelling Mcgowan? Or has it just been mistranscribed on the all the registers?

    If he was John T(homas) then this looks like him in 1861 except his place of birth is given as Oldham.

    Dear Terrysfamily,McKeown is correct.I Thank you for the reply.I am amazed.Can you throw any light on why the children are down as Mckeown?I have my dads marriage certificate and he is down as John Langan.

    Dear Nicolina,Sincere thanks for your work.I am totally new to all this and I am delighted with your efforts.I am mystified with RG09/3007/93 what does this mean and how could I gain access ?Can I find out Where in Ireland they come from?

    Dear Notanotherminer,I am now trying to find out about dads side of the family.I have had some fantastic responces already,but I haven't got a clue what all these numbers mean.Everyone seems to give them but it is not a language I am familiar with.

    Hi Lango, sorry I meant that their surname was LANGAN but their mother's surname is down as McKeown and not Mcgowan.

    More to follow in a min.

    RG09/3007/93 is the reference for the 1861 Census which can be access at several pay-to-view sites.
    As for where in Ireland they originated, that is not so easy to find out.

    I have found the family in 1871 at Wood Street, St Mary, Oldham Below, (RG10/4095/14 Page 22) by which time Ann had died. It's also possible that Michael died between 1871 and 1881 as the children are scattered and I can find no sign of him.
