Hi all,

I am researching my husbands family. I am looking for Timothy Nolan born 1838 in Ireland. Sometime before 1857 he moved to Salford Lans in England his occupation was a painter (house). In 1857 he married Margaret White also born 1838 in Ireland. On the marriage cert. Timothy's father is listed as Laurence and Margaret's as Thomas. Family legend has it that he and Margaret travelled to the US where he was drafted or joined up in the Civil War, Margaret went back to England and Timothy later deserted the army and went back to England. Timothy and Margaret had 7 seven children that I am aware of, Mary Ann b 1858, Margaret b 1860, Laurence b 1864, John b 1866, Teresa 1868, Catherine b 1870 and James b 1875. On the English census's all the children are listed as being born in Salford. James is my husbands GGrandfather. Don't know the county that Timothy was born in but Margarets family where in Queens county in the 1830's
