Hi Donna

Julia O'Donald is down as Wifes Mother on original. Not sure about this wifes mother on 1861 is Anna Roach?

Hi Donna

Looks like Anna Roach died in 1869 Oswestry.

On 1861 Martin Roach is married but no mention of wife. Looks like Thomas Roach is his son.

Cannot find any marriages in England Mary & James must have been married in Ireland before they came over.

Looks like they all emigrated except Anna Roach, sometime after 1861 could have been after Annas death.

Hope this all helps you a little.
