Thanks Elizabeth. I may take a stab at ordering the BC's & DC's of the children too....but, may have to spread over a few weeks due to the costs !

When you see the conditions the family were living in (attached photo dated a bit later), it doesn't surprise me that some of the children died in infancy - very sad.

Yes, horrendous conditions for many families.

By the way, no sign of a marriage between John Quigley and Catherine. I wonder if they married at all.

Possible death and burial for Mary Ann Quigley born 1839 (age slightly out, but they weren't always very sure of their ages, especially if someone else was reporting it).

QUIGLEY, MARY ANN 20
GRO Reference: 1858 J Quarter in LIVERPOOL Volume 08B Page 116

Catharine Quigley, Oct-Dec 1883 Liverpool age 60 vol 8b p 71.
There is a different Catherine Quigley on the 1881 Census who also could fit the above death reg - she is wife of James and aged 56 in 1881. They are living at Plumber St, St Pauls, Liverpool. At the moment I've not found her still living in 1891 to eliminate her.

Yes, they are all tentative, Merry. The wife of James kept coming up when I was searching. The name Quigley is frequently mistranscribed.

I searched the 1881 census for Catherine (variable spellings) *gl*y, born between 1820 and 1830 in Ireland and living in Cheshire or Lancashire, but only turned up people who are not the correct Catherine. She could be more badly mis-transcribed, remarried, already dead, missing from the census or moved away from Liverpool/Birkenhead (or more than one of these!)!

I can't see a sensible remarriage or a sensible death between 1871 and 1881, so there is still a good chance the 1883 death is the right one though I haven't found a separate likely death for the other Catherine Quigley. It's a pity there is no address given at that 1883 burial!

Who registered John Quigley's death in 1873?

I have occasionally seen women who are only pretending to be married registered for death in their previous surname, but those have been few and far between, especially if they have been living with their partner for a long time. (not really saying this couple were definitely not married, just that we haven't found a record)

Catherine's (maiden) name has so many variations that it is very difficult to search.

I have found at least 5 different spellings:
Mc Clannighan
Mc Lanagan
MCLENNON
MCLENNAN
McLenon
MCCLANNAN
