Hi Lily if he was born in Lpool West Derby there's only one in 1849 and that's John Peter Rooney which I'm sure you've already found.

Hi Macy I will have a good look tomorrow but as I say most have little details as to family history, you say his father was Robinson was that Robinson Rooney??? list any details you have as we may be able to find something in Irish records a long shot but perhaps worth a try------talk later

Hi Lily, in 1881 Robinson is 51 freestone miner older kiddies bn Ire.
Hugh 7 and Eliz 1 born in Cumberland.
No Peter listed.
Must have come over from Ireland around 1873?
Sadly a Robinson Rooney died as a baby in Cumb 1877.
There's a Griffiths listing for Ro Ro in Comber Co Down 1864.

Good guess Miss Marple!
I ploughed backward through the census pages and go to page 30 where it says Dun and in little letters above it das...
From them on all it says is Dun.
What a jam packed st it was with all the courts.
Before the start of Dundas we have Drake St listings.
First page, in this block starts at Balloil Rd & the last Derby road.
