Patrick, Amazing news, thank you. With the passing of Sweetman who was credited as most informed biographer of Hay family, I figured I had missed out on learning anything of Hannah's origins. Your information confirms my hunch. If only records were more complete, what are the chances that a descendant of Edward would be viewing this site?

Greetings (sorry, don't know your name), thank you for your response. Are you related to Hannah Hay in any way? I have details of their 4 children, the husband and children of their only son, John. I'm going to attempt to attach a scan (png). If you are related and wish to enhance my knowledge about them, please do so. Patrick
