Well, we still need Caroline Chadwick's death cert. Until proved otherwise she was a Chadwick and not a Teal or a Hackney at the time of death.

The Ackney family that was a possibilty for Caroline's family did include a Margaret as a sister.

but - beware of two of the biggest dangers in family History. Firstly never ASSUME anything, things are not always as they seem, and secondly never take family hearsay as the ultimate truth. Always back up info as you go. Oh, and third one (!) done jump ahead too quick, confirm one person's details from as many angles as possible before leaping back generations.

Sorry, not meaning to nag or be a pain, but just want you to enjoy the hobby and not waste time and energy!
Looks like you have a fairly complex family situation here, so just work through it a step at a time. in fact I think there are really two issus on this thresd, the HAckney lot and the Booth lot. It may be worth you trying to separate them out a bit.

Thanks, I think you are right.
I am trying to get all the info in and then sit back, have a breakdown, and then hope it all comes right.
The Booth line got a bit better as I have spoken to a living relative, all be it in Australia. Still not so far back, but at least I can pick her brain. She was Charles, (Elsie's brothers )wife. so quite close.
I'm speaking to her on Sunday, so I will have a list of questions for her.
Thanks for still taking an interest :)

I am descended from Ackney's from Huggate near Pocklington in Yorkshire.  I have found them spelled many different ways

Ackney
Akney
Akeney
Hackney
Hakeney
Hakney

There does not seem to be a lot of them in the Yorkshire area......

Hi Tom

Thanks

Hi don't know if any one has any info, but a relative remembers it being said that Joseph was in some way related to a famous actress Pearl Hackney???(Ive never heard of her) Means nothing to me, tried to search her on Ancestry but nothing. May not even be true.

Ooooh - havent we all heard that sort of thing!! Every family has someone 'famous' in it -according to the family hearsay!!!

Just keep on systematically finding and confirming each individual and slowly building up your tree. If you find someone famous on the way it will be a bonus, but what I do guarantee is that you will find all sorts of things that the family didint know about! and that you will have great fun doing it. And that it will take years and years, and will never end....
