My lost ancestor
I have been trying to find info on my gt gt grandfather who was thomas rooney, all i have is his sons michaels baptism which states parents were thomas rooney and ellen?
I have thomas son michael on the 1841 census ( he was born in 1839) living with a magee family, in back bridge stret preston lancashire, michael was born in preston, with this family there is a ellen magee aged20 and michael is 2 i have wondered if this is michaels mother and thomas and ellen ? never married, as i have thomas death cert, he died of typhus in 1840 aged 25, witness at the death was a john rooney, any help in trying to trace thomas rooney would be great, i believe that the family going back in time were from ireland so maybe thomas was born there?
Thank you
Bernadette

ello and thank you for your reply
Where do i start?
well i am sorry but i do not have abaptismal cert for michael rooney (thomas son) i just had a few details i got from the church records which stated his parents were thomas and ellen or helen?
Michaels birth was never registered so i have no details from his birth certificate, i have searched and searched for amarriage fro thomas rooney but to no avail and the records ofice here in preston have nothing on him.
I have michaels marriage certificate to a jane anderson in preson, just gives father as thomas (deceased), i do not have his death crtificate.
I have looked for a helen or ellen magee in later census but cannot find her, i have no details of when she died.
Here is the details from thomas death certificate
DIED...18th january 1840, at the "house of recovery" in preston.
NAME...Thomas Rooney
Male
Occupation..Labourer
CAUSE OF DEATH...Typhus fever
SIGNATURE OF INFORMANT...John Rooney in attendance at the house of recovery
WHEN REGISTERED...19th january 1840
Hope this helps and thank you for your time.
