John Hey was born on 25 December 1825 in Keighley, West Riding of Yorkshire (as it was then). He was baptised on 24 February 1826 at St Michael and All Angels, Haworth.
He was the son of Stephen and Susan Hey (formerly Shackleton) who are my 4x great grandparents.
His wife was Hannah (formerly Sugden, born c1820) and they had 11 children between c1841 and c1861.
By 1881 he is living in Colne, Lancashire.
I have him on the census from 1851 to 1881 then I lose him.
I haven't got his marriage certificate yet, this is something I need to chase up.

Was this a possible for John Hey ?
-
It could be.
All I can tell you is that I have him on the census up to 1891 by which time he's in Lancashire.
-
You don't say what area this is for?
-
Sorry, the last time I have him is in 1881 in Colne, Lancashire.
-
It says on the probate - Albert Road Colne Lancashire. Mentions 2 other Hey - William and Stephen - ?
Did he have sons of those names ?
Sandra
-
The address fits perfectly, thanks.
I'll go look at the probate calendar now.

Yes, I know.
They match and I have John on the census from 1851 to 1881,
I think I stated this before?
-
That's great - and now you have 1891 ;D
Sandra

Yes, I know you did, Gibby1968, but others, who are attempting to help you, possibly don't have time to verify for themselves. :-\ :)
-
I will when I find it :).
The probate calendar clearly states John died on 20 August 1895 and probate was granted on 29 that year to two of his sons.
