Based on the information on the 1871 census a reasonable guess is that Ann Henesy (dau) was born in [[limerick_limerick|Limerick]]. As the Henesy's are mentioned in the 1851 Census they are likely migrants from Ireland due to the [[limerick_limerick|Irish Famine]] (1845-1852).

**1854** James Hindmarsh and [[ann_hennessy_ann_hennessy|Ann Hennessy]] marry 27 Feb 1854 [[east_london_east_london|St. George in the East]], London.
