Is this the family in 1881? With Daniel listed as David although the image looks like Daniel

I think David and Daniel could be the same, and he has jettisoned Ireland in favour of his new work place by 1891

Married 22 years - no children from this marriage, so Margaret is probably 2nd wife.

Based on the cousin's surname in 1881 I wonder if this could be Daniels marriage?

It looks as if might be best to buy one of the childfren's BC's, and work back from there. :-(

It could be that both his wives (if that is the case) were called Margaret.

Linda,
Have you got any birth or marriage certificates of Daniel Lundy's descendants, as from what we have found these are essential?

This looks like them in 1871.
