McLoughlins in Dukinfield

[delsol]

Hi,
I'm looking for any info on the McLoughlin family who lived in Dukinfield. This is what I have:
1861C William age 34 High St Dukinfield, Brick setter b Ireland
Mary wife 35 cotton weaver, bIrel
Geo son 7 scholar b Stalybridge
James 3
MAria 2
Sarah A 9 mo
Honor Finn 26 boarder b Ireland

1871C William 40 b Dukinfield living Castle St Dukinfield
Mary 30 b Rosscommon
John 16 (?same age as Geo above?)
Sarah Ann 15
William 13
James 7
MAria 11
Patrick 13 (?same age as James?)

1851C William 21 Bricklayer boarder - relative at 64 Back grosvenor st, Castle Hall Dukinfield, also Hugh McLoughlin 26 cotton stripper,
Head is James Wilson 34 and Ester Wilson 24, both b Ireland and Mary Jane Wilson 5 mths b Cheshire

I have a James McLoughlin b 1858 STalybridge Cheshire and Alice 32 both at Model's Lodging house, chapel St stalybridge

I am stuck now because I cant find any of the family in 1881 onwards. I have another set of William McLoughlin relatives who are based in Manchester, Ancoats during this period but again, have all disappeared off the 1881C. I think these two Williams may be cousins. The William from Dukinfield was living a few doors down from the Saxon family I have been investigating on this website. However, John Saxon moved to Manchester in 1871 and met and married an Ellen McLoughlin, daughter of the Manchester William.
Another confusing thing is the list of children's names and dobs on the 1861 and 1871 census'. They are so close eg George is writeen badly and could be John but the James' and Sarah Anns dobs are confusing. Maria is the most consistent.

Any help in furthering me on with this would be VERY much appreciated.

Thanks
Jillain

Hi Delsol

These might be some of the people you’re looking for:-

1881 census transcription National Archive Reference:
RG number: RG11 Piece: 4054 Folio: 35 Page: 6
Reg. District: Ashton Under Lyne Sub District: Dukinfield
Parish: Dukinfield (Cheshire)
Address: 2, Bridge St, Dukinfield (Cheshire)

MC LOUGHLIN, Wm Head Married (49) b 1832 Brick Layer: b Stalybridge, Cheshire
MC LOUGHLIN, Mary Wife Married (49) b 1832 Weaver Cotton Mill: b Stalybridge, Cheshire
MC LOUGHLIN, Sarah Ann Daugh Single (20) b 1861 Twister Cotton Mill: b Stalybridge, Cheshire (Tameside BMD ref: DUK/48/3)
MC LOUGHLIN, Ester Daugh Single (18) b 1863 Weaver Cotton Mill: b Stalybridge, Cheshire (Tameside BMD ref:DUK/53/64)

I only followed up Sarah Ann McLoughlin in the 1891 census and found her living at 3 Tonge’s Buildings, Cross Leech Street, Dukinfield with her now married sister, Esther (m. John Field Bowker in 1889). Interestingly, there’s another Sarah Ann McLoughlin (ref: DUK/93/89) living there, aged 10 years, who is described as J F Bowker’s niece. They're both still living with Esther in 1901 but now at 102 Forrester Street, Stalybridge.

There are probable Ashton death records for Mary and William McLaughlin

Dec 1881 - MCLOUGHLIN William 49 Ashton 377 (ref: DUK/66/12)
Sep 1886 - McLoughlin, Mary 54 Ashton 399 (ref: DUK/74/69)

I know it's another question but some of the dates of birth are so far out I wonder if they're are actually somebody else's children ? If you haven't already done it, might be worth a check in the births Indexes.

All the references are taken from the www.cheshirebmd.org.uk website, and I kept copies of the census returns if you can't access them yourself.

Hope this helps you take a step forward

Hi Woody,
Thanks for the info, I'll have a closer look and get back to you. I'm with you in thinking they may be someone else's children and that's my next step, trying to narrow it down. I wonder why I cant easily find any McLoughlins on the 1881 C though, Ill try again now Ive got yur refs. Ive been using ancestry to search.

Hi Delsol

I often use the search facility at www.findmypast.com, especially for the 1881 census for which you'll get free transcripts. Searching is faster and less complex than using Ancestry and will accommodate most of the common variations in spelling. You can then go into Ancestry armed with a better idea about what to look for.

On impulse, I just looked for Honor Finn, the 1861 lodger, and found that she probably married in Patrick Flannnery at Stockport, 1863. I had wondered whether she married one of the McLoughlin children, but evidently not.

However, my search quite accidentally produced a civil marriage in Ashton, 1853, between William McLoughlin and Mary Finn (RM/10/57) that you might want to investigate a bit further. It might be that Honor Finn is Mary’s sister; the birth dates of Mary’s children in the 1861 census certainly tie in with that potential marriage date.

Thanks so much Woody
I'll have a look at that web-site

It looks likely that the Finns link is a good idea too

Hi there ! I just read your message re the McLoughlins of Duckinfield and I was gobsmacked because I am the direct descendant of one of them !
My name is Martin McLoughlin and I live with my wife and children in Rotherham, South Yorkshire.
I am the great-great-grandson of Daniel McLoughlin ( spelt McGlaughlin in the 1841 census ) who in 1841 was shown as living at Sampsons Yard, Duckinfield with his wife, Mary and children, Hugh, Esther, William and Luke. ( Luke was my great-grandfather ).
In the 1851 census they were living at 64, Back Grosvenor Street, Stalybridge . ( with a number of other relatives scattered all around them ).
They turn up in Rotherham and Sheffield in the 1861 census and onwards ( the menfolk having got work in the steelworks and coalmines ) and their descwendants live here to this day.
I have originally traced them back to County Galway, Ireland in the 18th century.
If you want to contact me please email me on [e-mail]
All the best !
