hayes family

Well Jane Hayes was my ggg grandmother. There are other "Hayes's" which were born in Grasmere who were nurserymen and gardeners, which is where the garden centre came from. I'm thinking somewhere down the way i am probably related but god knows how as I'm stuck on Jane!

Don,t think this is directly connected to the above but wonder if any of the following rings a bell.  My family flitted back and forth to westmorland over the years.
William Hayes to Wm and Mary 1803 Cheltenham  Nothing  else.
William marries Mary Camm,of Lancaster, Kendal 1832
Thomas Hay born to above Kendal 1833.
Jane born 1839 Warrington.(also, variously, Richard, Charles and James)
William died in Lancaster.
Thomas was a gardener/ nurseryman in Kendal for yonks, died there in 1906.
William was a gardener.  Could be a connection with the Hayes garden centre, but can,t follow that through.
If any of the above rings a bell, or anyone can make a connection between Cheltenham/ Kendal/ Lancaster, it would be good news.  Another slightly interesting point is that William gave himself a middle name , Arkley (soundex).  Not a family name as far as I know.
Happy days

I think it must have been quite a common name in the area around their time. I cant find a connection with the garden centre as yet.
None of your names or areas ring a bell with my lot, but have come to a sticking point with that side of my family. If i do find anything more out when i get back onto that side i will post another entry

Thank you for your interest.  James Hayes, son of william, was a groom at angel yard,Kendal, 1861.
I am old enough to be asking them in person shortly.  will include your query as well.

Best wishes   Happy days

Hi

I just started researching yesterday so was fascinated to find your discussions in 2007 about Jane Hayes.  I have a great great grandmother who's name was Jane Hayes before she married - her married name was Robinson.  Family stories say Jane rang the bell at Wordsworth's funeral because the sexton was ill - 1850 - she was apparently visiting her sister and so was young at the time. All this is quite vague but I wondered what you had found out about your Jane just in case there is any link.

Regards

Hello,
No, simply cannot find her after the 1851 census in Warrington.  Not with her parents on the 1861 (Lancaster).
Don,t think she had a sister.  Jane was born 6..3.39, Warrington to William Hay(es)/ Mary Camm of Lancaster.
The family spent most of their life from1850s onwards in Lancaster and Kendal.
Searched high and low to find a marriage or death for Jane but no good.
If anything there interests you please let me know
Will look into what you posted - sounds fascinating anyway.

Might I just add - possibly  a co-incidence.- a John dixon is mentioned in an earlier posting.  The 1861 census i refer to above has the hayes clan (no Jane) living at the Sun inn,Lancaster, Thomas Dixon being the licensee.  Mary Hayes (Camm) 1805 Lancaster, was born to Thomas Camm and Margaret (formerly Dixon)

Hello,

I have had a break through with my Jane Hayes who was born in Rydal 1837. In the 1851 census she is with her parents in Grasmere living at the Rectory - latter I found she married Mossop Tomlinson which then fixes her into my other links. So I think we are on two different ones.  She was in the right place to toll the bell - although the story that she was with her sister doesn't seem to be accurate.
