James Murray in Foxford
Hi. I've been researching my Gleeson and Haddican family tree for a while. I'm always hitting a brick wall but manage to find the tiniest of snippets of info that gives me a new lead.
My ancestor Mary Ann Haddican lived with a family in a small town called Wirksworth in Derbyshire called the Murray family.
She is listed on the 1861 census as the cousin of the head of the family who was Patrick Murray, born in Mayo but also listed as Foxford, Mayo?
He was born in 1833 and married Bridget Murray born 1835. All are listed as Rag Collectors as were my two family lines.
Bridget Murray has Treland in Roscommon as her birth place. She also has a son James Murray who was born in Foxworth which I'm assuming is Foxford unless it's a township name.
Mary Ann Haddican came over to England with her family from Bekan Parish. I'm trying to narrow down the connection between the Murray and Haddican families.
