KAY, Howarth born c 1839 in Holcombe, Lancashire (Kay is the surname, Howarth the Christian name)

Interested to find parents and siblings etc.

Many thanks in advance.

Wade,
What has happened to your other thread, we've been posting all the details on it??

Yikes...

I'm afraid I managed to delete the one you guys have been posting info to. uggh So sorry, I'm in a remote remote island in the Philippines so the internet pages are loading at a snails pace so I deleted the wrong one before it became clear that was the one that had the answers.

Can I be very presumptuous and ask you to repost???

Go to this site: http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/

Search for births (1839 +/- 10 years) for parents William Kay and Ellen (no surname) and you'll find a lot all christened Holcombe.

They are in the Bury - Holcombe area on 2 of the census posted, but I don't know who posted them. On the 1851 census I think they were under the surname Hay.

Looks like the 2 youngest children Sarah and Giles Edwin were registered Haslingdon - this could be Giles's birth, but not sure as OPC has his christening as 2 Jan 1847.

Births Sep 1847 (>99%)
Kay Giles Edwin Haslingden 21 427

This looks like Haworths birth reg (from Lancashirebmd - another great site for Lancashire especially as it ties up marriage partners and for some areas shows MMN):

Lancashire Birth indexes for the years: 1838
Surname Forename(s) Sub-District Registers At Mother's Maiden Name Reference
KAY Haworth Holcombe Bury DAWSON

Ann and Matilda's births are also on there with MMN of Dawson.

Forgot about that site Potty, so it looks like the right marriage, without having to buy a certificate!
