1851/61/71 census look-up, please - Kay - Kildwick/Cononly

[Pendlewitch67]

Hi,

Joseph Golding Kay was born 1821 in Manchester (according to the 1881 census). He married Rachel Smalley 1844 in the Blackburn district. Their eldest son that I have been able to confirm from the 1881 census is William Golding born 1847. He is recorded as being born in Blackburn. Their eldest daughter, Sarah Jane, is recorded as born 1853 Kildwick.

I would like to confirm other children of Joseph and Rachel who were probably born Kildwick/Cononly 1847 - 1871.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you

Best regards

Amanda

"Sizer"-one who applies size to textiles
I would imagine "size" to mean a kind of glue/starch

hope this is correct family -can't see another -it's quite a journey from Sizer to landowner to private gentleman to retired farmer??

Hi Amanda, Could you please tell me your connection to the Kay's of Kildwick as Joseph Golding Kay was my Gt Gt Gt Grandfather. His Father Joseph was a Silk Manufacturer in Manchester, have you any more information on them?
Regards Andrew

Hi Andrew

My connection to the Kays is that William Ewart Kay born 1898, son of Edward Denton Kay born 1855 son of Joseph Golding Kay born 1821 married my great aunt, Ada Brotherton.

I have some information on the Kays that I would be happy to pass onto you but it is only the basics I have obtained from the internet, IGI, Freebmd etc.

If you email me with your email address I would be glad to send you the info.

Best regards
Amanda

Hi Amanda,
I will have a look at the Kildwick parish registers for you and hopefully provide you with some more information.

Also ... the name Smalley, might be a small connection but I will have to go over my paperwork first

Hi Amanda,
not a great deal to offer I am afraid.
Nothing in the baptisms or the burials.
A couple in the marriages to offer:

Marriages at Kildwick.

 - Annie Kay to Robert Moor on the 21/4/1880
 - Sarah Jane Kay to Thomas Butler Idle on the 16/6/1874
(note* there was no comma after Butler so I presume his surname was Idle, may need to check census for that one)
 - Ellen Kay to Lot Walmsley on the 26/10/1897

Also these that do not appear to be yours but because the name Kay does not show up much in the registers I have included them.
 - Hannah Kay to Moses Stansfield on the 2/4/1870
 - Mary Kay to Mason Lee Fleming on the 13/9/1870

Re: name Smalley.
The Rachel Smalley you have that married Joseph Golding  Kay appears to have been baptised on the 25th Dec 1825, Kildwick.  Parents: Joseph and Mary Smalley. (IGI)
I think it is this Joseph who remarried to a Drusilla Whitaker, who is linked to my line.  I have a word doc on John Smalley son of Joseph and Mary and would be happy to send to you if you can pm me with your email address.
I have other details but still searching

Hope some of this helps,
Margaret
