I have a copy of the Marriage Certificate for Michael Carroll and Annie Lynes. They were married at St.Bendicts Hindley on the 17th of May 1880. At which time Michael is 19 and a coal miner and Annie is 18. Both are living in Ward Street, Hindley. Michael's father is listed as Patrick (a groom) Annie's father is listed as John Lynes deceased (a labourer). The marriage is conducted by Father J C Murphy. Both Michael and Annie were able to sign their own names, as were the witnesses James Gibson and Alice Carroll.

At the time of the 1881 British Census, Michael Carrol was listed as Michael Carrol, Coal Miner, living with his wife Ann and son James in a lodging house in Oldham, Lancashire.

The address is 62 Brunlees St, Oldham, Lancashire, England and living there are :-

• Their son Patrick, 5,born in Tyldesley, Lancashire
• Their son John, 2, born in Hindley, Lancashire

At the time of the 1891 British Census, Michael Carroll was listed as 30, coal miner, born in Hindley and is living at 10, Bridgecroft Street.
With him are, his wife Annie 29, born in Newport Monmouth, his son James, 10, John 8, Martin 5, Joseph 1, and daughters Elizabeth E 7 and Mary 3.

My attempts to find the birth certificate for Joseph Carroll have so far failed. I can find no entry for Wigan at the appropriate date, although we have a christening record for him in Hindley!
A birth registered for a Joseph Carroll in neighouring Warrington does not match :-
7th June 1890, 4 Portland Street, Warrington. Joseph Carroll, father John Carroll, Iron Works Labourer, Mother Ellen Carroll, formerly Ellen McLoughlin. John Carroll "made his mark".
