Hi Lin

Lovely to hear from another long lost relative!!  Are you descended from Isabella or Sarah?

I'm now trying to find out what happened to Sarah's husband - William Hayes Allchurch as he was living in a workhouse in 1911 and died in 1912, even though he had family living near by.  Do you have any information...? Or even information about the family further back?

Hi Frances - thanks for your post.  Yes, this is a strange one.  The family are all over the place and so it's been really hard to track them down.  I hadn't thought about the boys fishing - does that mean they won't appear on a census?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Nicki

Thanks for your reply - it is lovely to hear from you.  I have emailed you and look forward to sharing information and research about our two branches of the family.

Regards.

Sue

This is great - many thanks for your help!  Do you know how I go about checking for a support order?

Yes, it is frustrating.  I've struggled to find the rest of the family in 1851 too.  I do appreciate your help - thank you!

Isle of Man / Jane Quayle b Peel abt 1840

Hi

I am looking for some information about Jane Quayle who was born in Peel about 1840.  Her parents were William Quayle born in Peel in 1797 (he was a mariner) and Eleanor Callin born about 1801 in Patrick.  Jane had an illegitimate son - William in 1866.  I would really like to find out who is father was, but I seem to have hit a wall, and I'm not sure where to look next.  Jane never married and had no more children.

I can't find Jane on the 1851 and 1861 censuses, but by 1871 she was a dressmaker living with her parents and younger brother in Kirk German.  Jane's sister Ann was in service and I wonder if Jane had been too.

There is a rumour in our family that William's father was the Earl of Derby (I don't know which one!) and that perhaps Jane had been a servant in his household.  There may or may not be any truth in this, but I would like to try to find out either way!

Jane's family was poor, but William was educated (again the rumour was that it was at King's School??) and he became a schoolmaster.  He moved first to Liverpool and then to South Wales.  He was fairly well off when he died.  There does seem to be some suggestion here that William had someone wealthy behind him.

Any assistance anyone can give would be much appreciated.... Thanks.

Hi

This is quite an old thread, so I may not hear from any of you, but I've just discovered Roots Chat, so I though I'd give it a go!

I am descended from Sarah Holliday, who married William Hayes Allchurch in 1849.  I would be really interested in any information that you can give me on the family - especially details of the letters that James Baldwin Holliday wrote to his parents while in India.

I've not found Sarah on the 1951 census either - her widowed father and husband were living together at that time.  However, her first child died around the time of the census - I wonder if she was visiting friends/other relatives for comfort at the time?  I will keep searching....
