Hi Lizanne I"m a bit confused as to how I get a reply to you after your kind offer, so I"ll try this. I think James Donnelly was born in Ireland. Mary (nee) Welsh was born in Hollingworth Rochdale.They wre living in Prescot and the children were Catherine born around 1846 Mary 1848 and Michael 1851. However by the 1861 census James must have died (can"t find out when) because Mary by then was living at Old Hall St. Bolton married to Lancelot Bromwell along with another child called Ann Donnelly born around 1953. I can"t find out when or where Mary died either. Thanks a lot for your help
