Hi! Phil

On the 1881 census I found living at 5. Wrigley Square, Wardleworth, Lancashire, but too young to have a son born 1861

Michael Fallon age 34 born Ireland Boot Maker
Mary Fallon age 30 born Ireland Wife


I found a John Falloon (slightly different in the spelling) born 1863 in Cleator Moor, Cumberland, but parents were Neil and Rose they were also both born in Ireland.

These are the only possible matches I could find

I have found John and host of Fallons in Colne in 1871:

residing at 28, Parliament Street, Colne

Michael Fallon, age 41, head, Mason's Labourer, born Ireland
Mary Fallon, age 41, wife, born Ireland
Margaret Fallon, age 17, daughter, Cotton Spinner, born Durham (Toulow?)
James Fallon, age 16, son, Cotton Spinner, born Darlington, Durham
Elizabeth Fallon, age 13, daughter, Cotton Spinner, born Durham
John Fallon, age 10, son, Cotton Spinner, born Whitehaven, Cumberland
Michael Fallon, age 7, son, scholar, born Dalton, Lancs.
William Fallon, age 5, son, scholar, born Burrow (Barrow?)Lancs.

This handwriting is difficult to read, so I am not certain on some of the spelling.

Additionally, I have so far found Mary, age 61, widow, still living in Colne, living with daughter Elizabeth, now Ingham, and with several small Inghams, William Fallon and Michael Fallon junior also still residing in Colne. Haven't located John Fallon in 1891 yet, nor Margaret or James.
I will keep looking!
