I have my GGGrandfathers birth cert back and it states 1841 Walcot, Bath 21/1/1841 Charles Edwin Hanney son of James Hanney and Elizabeth Hanney formerly Dodd was born - can anyone find anything else out about James and Elizabeth Hanney for me (Hanney may be spelt Hanney or Hannay they seem to change it every now and then!) Thank you so much.

So were they living with Elizabeths Mother?

Living or just staying on census night, we can't know! 

I'm wondering if this is Elizabeth ...

1851
HO107/1941 63 18
Bath St James, Somerset
Bath Hospital
Elizabeth Hanney, serv, mar, 44, Nurse, b. Cheshire Chester

also in the hospital:
Henry Hanney, serv, 15, Surgery Boy, b. Somerset Bath

[genuisscuffy]

So on the night of the census Elizabeth and Henry were working in the hospital? Surgery Boy - wonder what that would entail??

[genuisscuffy]

So James Hanney had disappeared on the 1851 census?

LOL, I need a bit of time to search and type! 

Possible for James?

1851
HO107/1942 231 4
Lincombe and Widcombe, Somerset
1 Regent Terrace
James Hanney, lodger, unm, 50, labourer (Butcher's), b. Bath

He's down as unmarried, mind
