Looking for Lonergans from Donohill Tipperary

Andrew Lonergan was born in 1873 in Tipperary where he served in the Royal Artillery. He married Bridget Bourke in Manchester in 1896. They had five (I think!) daughters, 2 of whom died very young. Andrew died in 1904.

I would love to know about his background and how he came to be in Manchester.
