Galvin Family

[Jackia]

I know this is a long shot but I have a relative named Peter Galvin born in Ireland who came to live in Birmingham in the the 1800's, he was born in around 1791,he was a Tailor and lived in Woodcock Street in Birmingham.
He married a lady named Mary Leadbeater Butler in 1820 at St Martins Church in Birmingham. He had a son named Peter Andrew who went off to America in 1872 and promptly dissapeared, he also had a daughter named Lucy who had a son named George I do not think she was married at this time.

I have 2 problems 1 I do not know were Peter Snr came from in Ireland and 2 I do not know what happened to Peter Jnr when he arrived in Amereica,his wife was named Sarah his job was a Glass Manufacturer.

Does any one have any information on this family.

Hi Jackia,


Peter appears on the 1841/51 and 61 census for England but only gives the country of his birth no birthplace.

Genuki for United Kingdom and Ireland have lots of info for records to use for your search see link below.

Hi Jackia,

I'm not able to help you with Peter Andrew, but the link below is to 'What passenger lists are on line' this maybe worth a look through.
