Hi, I'm trying to find info. on the IRISH background of my great-great-grandfather THOMAS REDDY. He was born in County Westmeath, Ireland, in 1845 (or thereabouts) and moved to England, possibly via Isle of Man, between 1845 and 1865. He had a brother called John who was born around 1850 - I don't know of any other siblings. Thomas appears on the English census (Salford, Lancashire) from 1871 onwards and John appears on the 1891 census for the same town.

I would really love to know more about the Irish connection - can anyone help?

Thank you.
Sarah
