Hi Jane

 

This is Kay and I will be trying to find information for your on your ancestors.  Please check back soon to see if I've managed to pinpoint anything!

As a matter of interest Jane, who was Anne's husband when she married in 1845?

Hello

 

I am working with Kay on your search.  We have found Anne Wogan's marriage, but you did not tell us her husband's full name.  We do need this information if we are to be able to find her.

 

Marriages Jun 1845   (>99%)
Wogan	Anne		Wirral	19	301

 

 

We have found a Nicholas Wogan age 70 on the 1861 census living in Ashton-under-Lyne.  He was a Silk Weaver born Dublin, Ireland c1791. 

 

Also this death record:

 

 

Deaths Mar 1867   (>99%)
Wogan	Nicholas	85	Ashton	8d	339

 

 

He would have therefore been born c1782.  Despite the apparent ten-year age difference, we feel it could still be the same person.  It is not uncommon for ages to be out by as much as ten years.

 

We await your response before searching further.

Sorry for delay in getting back to you.

Anne Wogan's husband was Thomas Brannan c 1841-1817 Ireland ( no idea where abouts ). He died approx 1860 probably in Birkenhead Cheshire.Their youngest child Peter was born Sept 1860.I have been unable to trace his death , but she was a widow on the 1861 census, but by then the name had changed to Brennan.

As to Nicholas Wogan in Ashton under Lyne , I have looked at this but am not sure if it the right one. I have no idea when they came over to England , I cannot find them on the 1841 census ,but by 1851 Anne is married living in Birkenhead , I have been unable to find her on the 1841 with her parents. Didn't know if they came over after 1841 or if her parents remained in Ireland.

Thanks for your input mike.

As I stated in my original post I do have Anne's wedding cert, this gives her fathers name as Nicholas Wogan labourer. Thomas Brannan's

father was Lawrence Brannan.

I have Anne on all census from 1851-1901.

Peter the last child was born Sept.1860 I have his birth cert ,his father is listed as Thomas Brennan dock labourer. From that I must assume that Thomas died between sept 1860 and the 1861 census.I have details for all the children apart from Frega c1854. She only appears on the 1861 census , no birth, marriage or death details. I have looked at the original copy of the census but the name is hard to make out.

I just have no details on the family before the amrriage in 1845.

Thanks for that Marian,

I have traced Cecily from birth to death her name was actually Cecilia and not Cecily as on the 1861 census.

Frega however I have searched every possible vairation on the name and think the most likely is Teresa. Especially as two of her sisters had daughters named Teresa.

I have sent for a copy of a birth cert from Wirral for a Teresa. I will just have to wait until it turns up to see if this is her.Wirral registrars are very good if they cannot find a match they will return your payment, I will bear the Bradford birth in mind but I don't think that one will be her as the family didn't seem to move from Birkenhead from 1851-1901.

Thanks

Jane

Hi Jane

 

Thanks for getting back to us with that info.

 

Strangely I have this week come across the name FREJA in the tree of a distant relation!  So that is another possibility to consider if you get stuck.  But I still think Teresa/Theresa is the most likely, and especially now knowing the name was in the family.

 

Let us know how it goes, and if you need any more help.

Hi Jane

 

Have you tried this site?

 

 

I have a feeling that Frega may have been her middle name, or even a pet name, in which case it is going to be hard to find her.

Thanks Marian,

Yes I've tried the Cheshire BMD site can be quite useful, but not all areas have been transcribed as yet.I have found a few other rellies through the site.
