Kegg/Caig/Caeg family history research
« on: Thursday 08 May 08 21:47 BST (UK) »
Has anyone got information for the 1830's to find a John and Jane Kegg living in Whitehaven area in the late 1830's with a daughter Hannah? I think that they could have lived in Greggs or Giggs Lane. I believe that Jane died and then John married Mary Hutchinson. I have a Marriage Certificate which states that John Caig is a widower when he married Mary in 1843. John and Mary had a daughter, Mary Jane Kegg and this is the line I am interested in tracing. Mary Jane was brought up in the Workhouse and so presumably both of her parents must have died. If this is the right line, John's father was also John and was a Husbandsman and Mary's father was James and he was a Mason. Witnesses on this certificate are James Hewitson and Catherine Blaney. I am not able to get any further back and would appreciate any help.

In 1841
John Caig did live in Gregg's Lane.  He was 45 yrs(rounded down to nearest 5 yrs), Coal Miner, born Scotland. 
Also at the same entry no. were Hannah, aged ? 4 yrs., Mary, aged 12 yrs. Both down as daughters, but the enumerator has put a line through as this info. was not officially required presumably!  Both born Cumberland.
Also a John Linton, 21 yrs. Butcher, and Mary Smith, 82 yrs., widow (line through).  Both these also born Cumberland.

Hope this helps - looks as though he was already a widower by this time.

That is very helpful. Thank you. I now need to find the dates that Jane Caig died (1st wife) and John and Mary to see if that explains why Mary Jane Kegg was in the Workhouse from aged 2. I wonder what happened to Hannah and Mary (sisters on the 1841 census). Looks like I will moving to Scotland to find more information about John Caig b.1796c.  Any more help would be very much appreciated.
