I have a Patrick Cosgrove (1871, Ireland) in my tree, he married an Ann Moran in 1907 and a Mary Mottershaw in 1930, i know that he had another wife too, although im unsure of when. I believe he populated a healthy colony of cosgroves in the blackburn area and am hoping that perhaps someone could find him in any blackburn census's with any of his wives?
I seem to have hit brick walls with all ends of my tree! So if anyone wants to help out you would be more than welcome!!! Thankyou, Kelly x

Yes, that is him thankyou, i was aware he lived in oldham for a while. Do you think the cosgroves he was living with are a branch of the family somehow? Also would you be able to get the details of william the other lodger? Perhaps he was also born in Ireland? Thankyou, Kelly

All the older Cosgroves were born in Ireland. It only says lodger on the census so cannot be certain they are related. Perhaps someone could look up the births of Peter and william to see if they have the same parents.
