John Monton Byrne married Emma Fleming in Manchester, England, on 27 December 1873. His age was reported as 27 and his father as "John" and "Warehouseman". John junior died in 1895. His wife Emma died on 3 November 1916. John junior was a compositor and is listed in industry directories 1881, 1884, 1887, 1889, 1890, 1893 and 1894. John Monton Byrne is my Great, Great Grandfather.
There is no family mythology about John junior's county in Ireland, nor why he travelled to England. Our first reference to John Junior in England is in the 1871 Census in Hulme, Manchester, aged 22. There is a discrepancy in the ages at Census and at marriage.
How do I find John junior's father? We have no knowledge of his mother's name and no knowledge of his country or parish in Ireland. Lacking this information seems to be an impenetrable brick wall.
