Find Ancestors

If possible could someone see if they can find JAMES HENNESSEY born Stratford, essex in abt 1861 on the 1901 census. He may have a wife Mary. I think he would be in the West Ham area. I would like, if poss, the names those he is living with and the address. Thank you, Julie

Thanks julie. could you tell me if his wife's, Mary, still has stratford as her birthplace? I'm interested in a Mary quinlan but she was born at sea.

I can't pick up Mary Quinlan in the 1871

Really appreciate your time and help, Julie.

Julie

I have been thinking and on the 2 census James's age keeps changing, i wondering if he was married before.

If you get his M/C it will give you his dads name

Will look into it. Maybe him as one of his son's is called John - possibly after James' father.

Could this be Mary on the 1861 census? It's transcribed Quinton but original looks like Quinlon to me. (The t has not been crossed)
1861 census
6 John St., West Ham, Essex
Edward Quinlon, head, 40, general labourer, born Suffolk
Sophia, wife, 38, born Suffolk
Agnes, dau, 12, born West Ham
Georgina, dau, 4, born West Ham
Mary Jane, dau, 2, born West Ham
Mary Jane Pollard, niece, 5, born London
John Redpath, lodger, age?, general labourer, born West Ham

Thanks Margaret. Not sure if that's my mary but will have to have a think about the info I have.
