Title: Hay
Post by: orphanannie on Sunday 05 August 07 22:34 BST (UK)

Hi, All,

I have a Thomas Hay, born 1821 in Kirkudbright, living in 1881 at 10 Moss View, Poulton village, Poulton cum Seacombe, listed as a jobbing gardener, and an Elizabeth Huntington (nee Hay), born 1843 in Scotland, living in 1881 at 13 Moss View, Poulton village, Poulton cum Seacombe.  Can anyone tell me, please, if they were brother and sister.
Regards,
Annie.

Hi, Suz,

Thanks for that.
I did wonder if Thomas Hay was Elizabeth's father. he is too old to be her brother.  I never thought of him as her uncle.

In 1871 I have Elizabeth in Wallasey.  I can't see the address.

Thomas Huntingdon  26 Farm labourer   Wallasey
Elizabeth                   31                          Dumfries Scotland
Thomas Son                3                          Poulton cum Seacombe
Alexander Son             2                         Poulton cum Seacombe

In 1881 there is no mention of Alexander.

Their name has changed at times from Huntingdon to Huntington.
 
They married in Birkenhead in 1865, according to Cheshire BMD, as Huntington.

Regards, and thanks again.
Annie.

Thanks, Suz.
I hope you don't mind me bothering you with this, but in the 1901 census I have

George Steen Head 35 Gas stoker  Birkenhead
Annie (nee Huntington)  Wife 35 Wallasey
Isabella Daug 12 Wallasey
Anne daug 10 ""
Georgina daug "" ""
George Thom son 6 "" ""
Bessie daug 4 "" ""
Charles william son 2 "" ""
John Steen Brother 19 Unmarried ag/lab Liscard
Thomas Steen Brother 19 Unmarried Labourer oil mill Birkenhead
Charles Steen Bro/in/law 21 marr Liscard
Agnes Steen (nee Huntingdon) sis/in/law marr 20 Wallasey

I know who the Steens are.  Charles, 21 was actually the brother of George, Head, but I can find nothing on John and Thomas aged 19. 
Any ideas?
Best regards,
Annie.
