Hi Crowboy,

Thank you so much for your detailed reply. Wonderful! How disappointing to not be able to connect it all together neatly. I will continue to hunt for facts for Maria Searcy/Searcey - we have several spellings.

Regards, Grace Joy

Hi

My records show that she was Alma Emily Hayes born 24 May 1887 in Youarang, Victoria. Her father was David Hayes and her mother was Mary Stewart Sefton, commonly known as Polly. I have a photo of Alma with her parents and siblings. I also have one of Alma and "Archie"'s wedding with her 3 younger sisters as bridesmaids. Archie and Alma were married 31 Aug 1910 at her father's residence, "The Oaks" in Thornton, Victoria. Alma died 28 Jul 1941. She had two brothers and 3 sisters. One other sister had no children but the rest had lots.

I wonder if I can find the truth of her middle name on a family record? Are you interested?

Alma had a brother who was in the Light Horse, Harold Sefton Hayes. So her mother's surname was definitely Sefton not Hefton.

Hi Crowboy,

I live in Australia and Mark Anthony Hayes who married Maria Searcy were the couple that migrated here and there are many Hayes as a result. Maria Searcy's parents were George Searcy and Mary Atkins Thorpe. I was most interested in your list of children to a George Searcy and a Mary Thorpe that didn't include a Maria. Is it possible that she was their child, too? She was born in 1826 in Hallaton and christened in Uppingham.
