William and Mary Rowan (or Ruane) ORMSBY born in Sligo, to Liverpool, before the 1841 Census

Hello,

I'm researching my Irish ancestors, William (c.1790-1859) and Mary Rowan Ormsby (c.1795-c.1845)who were born in County Sligo, but by the 1841 Census they werein Liverpool, Merseyside, with their known children all born in Irelandbetween 1823 and 1839: Ann, Margaret, Mariah, John, Thomas, Catherine, William Jr., and possibly a daughter Sarah.

On a census recordand then on his daughter Margaret's marriage license, William Sr. lists his occupation as Shipwright and Ship's Carpenter. I think he died in 1859 in Liverpool.

Based on census records in Liverpool, I think William's wife, Mary, probably had at least two sisters, Ellen and Margaret. Margaret's husband was Henry Murphy.

I'd love to find William and Mary Rowan Ormsby's town in Sligo. I have speculated that a shipwright or ship's carpenter would probably live where there were ships, so I think I should look around Sligo Harbor. I doubt I'll find birth or baptismal records, however, maybe there's a listing for William in a Sligo directory or a clue as to his parish.

Thank you. Any advice would be most welcome.

Wishing you a pleasant day,

Jan Mulligan
