London and Middlesex / Re: Clerkenwell pre 1837 HELP

Hi Perro.

I think that my ancestor is probably your Elizabeth Hay on your tree. I have a written confirmation that her parents are John/Sarah Hay and a Somers Town / St Mary Le Strand link.  Complicated a bit because she is listed as Elizabeth Thrower although she never married Charles Thrower. All her children are registered in GRO as Thrower nee hay and were strangely  :) baptised out of their parish as Thrower. However three of her children went into the workhouse after 1862 and are traced under Hay name and I have written evidence from one child stating his name as Hay and that he was known as Thrower.

I lost her after 1862, maybe she is with the rest of the Hay family ?

Thank you moderator.

Sorry to pollute this thread, but I cannot send a PM to you until I have posted 3 posts. Is there a more detailed summary of copyright issues on the site. I see I should have used the census copyright notice.  Is there a general notice one covering personal transcriptions of items from record offices, like registers.

cheers
dave.

hi

I would be interested in where you are with this family. I have been struggling from the other direction and trying to confirm parents of an "Elizabeth Hay" in my family and recently found that spa fields entry. Also interesting about the earlier children listing an Somer Town Address (not far from spa fields)

I Have the following info to add to the soup  :) in regards to what I have for MY Elizabeth Hay.

1) She is listed on census as being born in Somer Town (1851) , St Mary le Strand (1861) approx 1819, but i have various ages as ever.
2) importantly, I have a Poor Law Examination record on 20/2/1858 which has a short biography which is difficult to read. What I can see though is that she states
: Parents are John and Sarah
: Both dead by 1858, mother dies first
: Also mentions her older brother, no name
3) She deserted her family in 1862 resulting in 3 of her children spending their lives in the strand workhouse.

I am keen for any help in confirming she is your elizabeth. :)

cheers
Dave.
