Hello everyone
I am a newbie here and have hit a road block on HAYES information in Ontario (and possibly Michigan). I would be grateful for any information or tips. Here is what I am looking for and what I have found. Sorry if this is a little long, but I would rather give all the information in one go.
I cannot find any information aside from an obituary on my Great-Great Grandfather, Nathan George HAYES (1876 - Jan.30 1954). He married Gertrude LYMER (Glossop, Derbyshire, England Oct. 3 1881 - Apr. 6 1964). They had one son Norman Llewellyn HAYES (Mar. 24 1901 - Mar. 4 1989). All three of them are buried in Bowmanville Cemetery in Ontario, Canada and I assume they have lived in Bowmanville, ON for all their lives. I have had no luck on birth, marriage and death certificates for Nathan. I would love to find his parents and their extended family.
Here is the odd part...
I did find another HAYES family (Allen 1844-1911 and Hannah 'Annie' 1845-1925 of Hampton, Ontario) which it looks like Nathan could have possibly lived with according to the 1891 Census. Allen and Hannah had only 2 children, William & Maud. I am thinking Nathan could have been a Nephew. I found Hannah HAYES (maiden name Veale) obituary, where it states "a grandson Harley Hayes of Detroit, Michigan" and also a "Mr. and Mrs Nathan Hayes of Bowmanville". Which is very interesting seeing how my Grandfather's name is Harley.
Thank you for reading this and trying to help out.
I look forward to joining this community.
