Hannay - Brooklyn

[effrenata]

Looking for Hugh H Hannay, a photographer in Brooklyn, New York in the 1870 US census. He appears in Brooklyn directories from 1869-1873 at 333/335 Washington. From abt 1874 his widow Mary is at Boerum Pl near Livingston. I can't find any records for marriage or death either.

He was still alive in July 1874. He had a summer residence at Bath.

Mention (2 January 1875) of the recent death of H H Hannay:

Though that must be H H Hannay St Aldenheim, also a photographer of Brooklyn, who had just died aged 39:

Confusing!

Are "Hugh H Hannay" and "Hugh Hannay St Aldenheim" one and the same person?

- Hugh H St Aldenheim married Mary J Leonard in Brooklyn, 5 September 1867.

- Mary C Leonard St Aldenheim married William Folsom in Jersey City in October 1877.

- In 1884 Mary C Folsom filed a civil war pension claim as widow of Hugh H Hannay, " Aid De Camp US Vols".

Re the 1870 census, take a look at Hugh and Mary "Waterbury" in Brooklyn. He's a photographer, aged 34, from Scotland. ("Scotland" ties in with the 1867 marriage record for Hugh H St Aldenheim and Mary Leonard).
