One of my Great-Great Grandmothers was Elizabeth Hayes born around 1833 in Belfast. Her father's name was Samuel Hayes who was a wire drawer (according to her marriage record to my Great-Great Grandfather, George Pickavance). Unfortunately, I have no other clues about her family: no mother's name, siblings, nor even an actual birth/Christening date.
Elizabeth's birth year is derived from UK Census records. She appears in the 1861, 1871, 1881 and 1891 Censuses living in St.Helens, Lancashire, England. Each of the records gives her birth year as 1833. Her burial record from August 1901 lists her birth year as 1832.
My Great-Great Grandfather was Elizabeth's third husband. Her first husband had a surname Ashton but I have no record of that marriage. She then married William Abbott on 8 Nov 1860 at St.Paul's Church, Warrington, Lancashire, England. She married George Pickavance at St.Mary's Church, Prescot, on 31 Nov 1870.
The precise spelling of her surname is unclear. It could be Hayes or Heyes. Her name on the birth certificate of my Great-Grandmother, Eliza Pickavance, is either Case or Ease (the latter is more likely as a mis-spelling of Hayes).
Can anyone out there in the wonderful world of Rootschat help me find Elizabeth's birth date and her other family members?
Many thanks,
Mark
