A Brief Synopsis of the Irish in the St. St George Sub Registration Districts 1-15 of Manchester Civil Parish in the 1841 Census, their Counties of Origin in Ireland and Occupations held
It is clear that a significant number of the Irish Immigrants in Manchester, Lancashire originated from the Connaught areas of County Mayo and County Roscommon, Ireland and that a fairly large number of them had already already arrived by the time the 1841 census was conducted. Manchester may be the final destination for a some, a stop on the way to search for work for others and a temporary residence before a journey abroad for many more.
After I analyze the Irish surnames in St George and several other key Subregistration Districts of the 1841 census, I intend to try to do the same with subsequent census years and try to trace families with surnames Brennan, Corcoran, Coffey and Gahagan (and all variations) through the records. This will be a slow, methodical process. Please contact me if I have identified your ancestor's in this compilation so that we can all work together to solve the puzzle of our ancestor's origins in Ireland.
There are 43 districts in the 1841 St George, Manchester Census. To minimize download times I will divide this compilation into three sections: Districts 1-15, Districts 16-29 and Districts 30-43.
This is a work in progress!
