I am looking for my 3x great grandfather Andrew Connelly who was born I believe around 1843/44. On the English census of 1861 he appears as a mariner aged 16 and says he comes from Dublin. On the 1871 census he says he is 26 and on the 81 census aged 36 and on all three census he says he was born in Dublin. He died in England in 1890 at sea. The only other information I have comes from his marriage certificate where he say his father was a James Connelly and he was a dairy man.

Thank you for finding this record. I did wonder if Andrews mother might be Mary given the naming pattern used for Andrews children.
