John Quigley & Catherine McClannan
 

I am trying to get more information on my paternal gg.grandparents above. Specifically when and where in Ireland they were born.
I've tried searching in Dublin Archives - but, based on the info I have below, the staff there suggested trying to find the marriage records in England.

John's godmother was Esther Mclanagan. A sister or other relative of Catherine, his mother?

Margaret's godmother was Maria (Mary) Quigley. I wonder what relative she was?

That's great Elizabeth, thank you !
The Catherine certainly looks promising - though is it 1851 or 1857 ?
The Bridget one also - though I notice the MMN is given as McClannighan.....only slightly different (especially as the g is silent in Ireland when spoken). So maybe the family lived in Liverpool for quite a while before moving back to Birkenhead later before John died.

Here they are in 1871:

350 Price Street, Birkenhead, Cheshire, England
John 60 Boot Maker born Ireland
Catherine 47 no place of birth given but it might be that she was also born in Ireland
Arthur Son 19 Apprentice Boiler Maker born Birkenhead
Catherine Daughter 16 Domestic Servant born Liverpool
John Son 14 Scholar Liverpool
Bridget Daughter 13 Birkenhead

They are transcribed as Tingley for 1871 on Ancestry:

Wow, that's amazing Elizabeth - twins, I never thought of that !
The only thing I'm a bit doubtfull about is that John & Catherine already had a daughter called Margaret, born c.1848.....so, could she have died ?

There is a Margaret Quigley death Jan-Mar 1852 Liverpool age 5.
