Are you out there Harry

More about Jane (my) I don't know whether this is a connection or not but in the 1841 Census there is a 4 year old Jane Hayes(r) who is living/staying with two males neither with her surname. I noticed that one was a 13 year old boy  John Dixon (born about 1828 Westmorland). They are in Grasmere


In April you asked if Newton/Dixon names meant anything to either myself or Corrine. Could there be any connection here with this very young Jane Hayes or is it purely coincidental.

Can you shine any light on this?

Hi Corrine

Have you any idea how we make contact through email from this site - I can't find the magic button.

I have just found a reference to a christening of a Jane Hayes in 1837 (Rydal) with mother Margaret. It would be really good to find out exactly where you have been and what records you have looked through - so swapping emails would be good for this.

- Be warned she looks a bit severe!

Yes Margaret is the link - Jane lived with Margaret in Egremont at the end of her life.

My mum asked me to find out more about her - particularly the story that she tolled the bell at Wordsworth funeral. The dates are spot on for this because Wordsworth died in 1850 and we know Ann was at the rectory in 1851. Apparently towards the end of her life she lost her sight and used to send the grandchildren to Grasmere Church yard to put their arms around a tree planted in Wordsworth memory and the grandchildren had to come back and tell her how big it had grown - not sure which tree though!

Mum is going to get copies of the photo and I will get them to you.

Hi

Sorry Jane married Mossop! I was at work!

I live in Leeds. My mum was brought up in Egremont as a girl although she left when she was 14. Her sister stayed and still has family there. What about you?

I have only been doing this 1 week so not quite got a lovely tree yet. Would you like a picture of Jane - I can get a copy

Hi Corrine
Jane is my great great grandmother. The line goes down through her daughter Margaret, sister of Mary Jane who is your link.  Margaret married Mossop Thomlinson and had a daughter called Margaret who married a Pattinson. My grandad was Roger Pattinson (known as dodger) who was a local charachter in Egremont - good at gurning at the crab fair, distilling his own whisky and laying trails for the hounds. My mum's sister Margaret Pattinson (lived in Egremont) unfortunatley died last year taking with her a lot of the family knowledge. At work at moment so will put more on later

Thanks Harry. Quite a bit of info to filter there.

Where do you fit into all this searching - you are obviously a 'Hayes' are you in the lake district or now further a field and what is your relationship to the Jane you are searching for?

Hi

I have been speaking to my mum who was delighted to hear that other people were interested and I have asked her to write down any memories she has of Jane or her children which is where our families link Corrine. Mum said she had heard that Jane Hayes was at the rectory  because her sister was there. So I was wondering if Mary Hayes could have been her sister.

Do either of you have any info on this.

Harry would your chart have details of who her brothers and sisters were and what there date of births might be?

Corrine have you found any records of Jane's (birth certs, baptism etc) which confirm her age and details if not I will make that my priority for searching. I did find details in 1841 census - the one you have but I also found another ref to a Jane Hayes - dates slightly different but she is living with a John Hayes(unfortunately can't find this ref at the moment)
