Hi,
I am researching my great,great,great grandparents John Morris and Mary Gallagher who were born in the Dublin, Ireland area between 1801 & 1806. They immigrated to England between 1827 - 1828 and were married in this same time frame as their first child Mary 1829 was born followed by; Michael 1831, Catherine 1832, Bridget 1834, Margaret 1836, John Jr 1839, Mary 1842, James 1834, and William 1845.
According to the 1841 & 1851 English Census they are from Ireland, on the 1861 census they are from Dublin, Ireland and on the 1871 census they are from Llandrhaider (Llandrheaedr), Dublin, Ireland. As the information I have comes from the English Census I do not have any information on the parents.
I'm hoping to find out where this place is so that I can start looking through parish records to find some more concrete documentation.
Thanks! Maria
