Hi John,

I've looked through the censuses of that time in England and cannot find a Sarah Jane born around that time to Irish parents. The closest match I can see is a Sarah Jane Bleakley born between 1874-75 in Bolton. Her father was John but the mother was named Hannah. They were all born in England though.

In the 1881 census I can only find 7 people with the surname Bleakley who were born in Ireland.

Thanks Rab
She was born in England 1876 but the family moved to Glasgow. Scotland in 1878. I do have them in the 1881 census for Glagow. Sorry I should have said this in the original post.
many thanks

Hi John,

I just checked the England BMDs. I'm afraid there was only one Sarah Jane Bleakly registered between 1874-1878 and that was the one in Bolton I cited in the other post. There are 5 others born in this time but all either Sarah, Sarah Alice, Sarah Ann or Sarah Ellen. All were born in Wigan or Bolton.

No problem John. Just a shame we couldn't find Sarah Jane though. Best of luck in tracking her birth down.
