Seeking the WATTS/TYE Family from Hadleigh
« on: Tuesday 14 April 09 15:25 BST (UK) »
I am seeking more information on this family, as I believe they are connected to my Watts family from Wokingham.  They are mentioned in a diary written by my great x2 grandmothers niece as another connection to the hymnwriter Isaac Watts which I believe now not to be true.

1881 Census Queen St Hadleigh
Walter Tye H M age 49 Mendlesham Grocer Master employing 1 man 2 Lads
Annie Tye wife age 52 Frome
Edward Watts Tye son unm age 22 born Hadleigh Draper
Lizzie Watts Tye dau unm age 17 born Hadleigh Scholar
Isaac Watts Tye son unm age 15 born Hadleigh Grocers Asst

Annie Tye's maiden name was Watts and that is suppose to connect me to my'Watts' family from Romsey.  My great x3 grandfather James Watts was born 1804 in Romsey but married in 1829 in Wokingham.  Ann maybe the niece of James, but I am having trouble locating her birth.  I would like to see where she says she is born on other census but unfortunately I cannot find her!

Regards Trish

Thanks, I found a John & Sue Tye in Mendlesham who could be the parents of Walter Tye but have as yet found nothing to confirm this.

Thanks again Trish

think you could do with the marr cert of walter/annie
this would tell you if the walter found in 1841 is the right one and would also tell you annies fathers name
marr index
name; walter tye
y.o.r. 1858
qtr; apr/may/jun
dist; cosford

HO107/942/13/27/8.
frome union workhouse.
having another look at the 1841 i think this is a better possibility than the one in the workhouse if only because she is born in county
