I found David Hyatt on the England & Wales, Criminal Registers, 1791-1892.  He was convicted of "burglary, simple" and sentenced to "6 months and twice whippings"

Thank you so much!  I was thinking the same, that her husband to be either thought that was her birth place, or as she was adopted at such a young age, perhaps she thought it was her birth place also.  From census records, it appears she went by "Hilda Wright" in the 1911 and 1916 census, then by 1921, was listed as Amy Pegg.  I wonder if she was told at some point between 1916 and 1921 that she was adopted, so decided to use her birth name?  She's a mystery -- there are several intriguing clues, such as listing her name as Helen Hilda (Wright) Pegg, but she seems to keep changing her first names around (if I have the right records).  Thank you again for all your help. A.

And I meant to add that the other marriage, showing John Wright and Minnie Hall as parents, is the marriage of their own daughter, Ethel May Susannah, who was born in 1886.  Thanks, A

I am new to this forum, but have been researching my British Home Child relatives and the BHC's who lived in the homes of some of my ancestors/relatives.  I have a brick wall with one young lady, who was taken into my ggg uncle's home.  She appears as a 7 year old, in the 1911 Canadian census living with John and Minnie Wright as their adopted daughter, born in England (1904). Her name is shown as Hilda Wright.  She is still with them in the 1921 Canadian census, showing as their adopted daughter, aged 17, named as Amy Pegg, but all the other details match up.  When I did a search of birth registrations for "Amy Pegg" in England in 1904, I found a Hilda Amy Pegg, whose birth was registered in first quarter of 1904 at Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland, England. I am not completely sure these all line up, but I think I'm on the right track.  I'm also not completely sure she's a BHC, but I was alerted to the possibility when I saw a 7 year old girl, born in England, living with my relatives in Saskatchewan.  Does anyone know anything of this girl?

Thanks so much for posting this link. I've been looking for help on locating homestead locations for a while now!  Very helpful.
