Good morning Valda.
1881. Bridget Mckegg. Aged 35yrs. Farm worker. Born Ireland.
living with son William aged 2 years on long close lane, York.
In 1881 Bridget remarries to a John Drinkell. But in the 1891 census she is back with her son and using the name Mckegg.
Then to confuse matters she says she is 59yrs old and born in America and her son William a 42 yrs old labourer. Bridget died in 1892 after that i can not find william.
Williams father, DENNIS mckegg was born in selby in 1849 and his surname has been spelt MCAGE. Dennis`s parents surname was spelt MCCAIG on their marriage in ripon in 1847.
Dennis on the 1851 census (MCKEY) in York.
Dennis on the 1861 census(MCKEG) in York
Could not find him on the 1871 census. He married Bridget in 1878.
Sorry for being long winded but this is all i have found out at the moment and maybe you will understand why i feel i am going mad.
Hope you can throw some light on this.
Regards
Vanessa
