1861/1871 census - Newton Heath - Mackay, please

[Pendlewitch67]

Hi,

I am looking for Maria Isabella MacKay daughter of William. She was born 1860 in Newton Heath.

Maria, my great grandmother, was living in Burnley in 1881 but I know little else about her.

Any other information about her or her family's whereabouts in 1861 or 71 would be very much appeciated.

Thank you

Regards

Amanda

Hi,

Thank you so much. I didn't think I was ever going to know any more than the information I had.

There is no doubt they are mine. So much information for me to work with.

Thank you again.

Very best regards

Amanda

Hi

Thank you.

I've just been checking the BMD index. It's a bit of a slog checking between MacKay and McKay. Still, all part of the fun.

Best regards

Amanda

Hi Amanda, Whilst looking for information regarding William McKay " Whip String Maker" as part of some research I am undertaking for a friend, I happened upon your query.
William McKay is the maternal- 3xgreat-grandfather of my friend and your Maria is an elder sister to my friends 2x great-grandmother Elizabeth.
I believe that the William McKay listed as a " Clock-string maker" on 1881 Census at Openshaw is the correct William and he came back to Burnley later and died at Forrest Street and was buried at Burnley Cemetery on 7th March 1888, by the way a child of Maria's ( Massey Layfield ) is in the same grave!

Hi

Apologies for the somewhat late reply. I am just returning to this branch of the family. Did your friend get any further with William?

Kind regards
Amanda
