Cecilia Foy

[fuseman]

Hi all was wondering if someone could give me a little help, I have been looking on and off for my GG mother for sometime now and until now have drawn a blank. She was from Ireland originally and I have documents which state her name as Cecilia Fhay but on doing a little digging I have concluded or at least I think I have that she was actually Cecilia Foy born in 1860 in Galway Ireland, and I think I may have found her in the 1871 census living somewere in Walsall Staffordshire with he mother Mary Foy? but not 100% sure as she is listed as Celia. I now think that I may have found her marriage in the Dec Q of 1877 but what I need to know is who she married? so that I can try and tie any names together from now going backwards (if that makes sense), the marriage record I have found is Vol 6b page 1029, can anyone see who the groom was for me please. Many thanks for any help... Dave

Hello,

I would imagine that this is her in 1881 https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/X3VH-M6S

She is listed as Laughton though.

Hi again and thanks, the name William Naughton has come up before but I can't link it with any family member unless she remarried and had a name change? also MargP what does the referance John Boyd of William Naughten mean?  Thanks again

The names John Boyd and William Naughten are on the same page for the Marriage for Celia Foy Vol 6b page 1029 and it looks like she married a William Naughton or Laughton re Heywoods post for the 1881 census, and that is the only marriage for a Celia Foy. You say you can't link Naughton to the family, what name were you hoping for so we can check if she did remarry.

Thanks, makes sense now, I will have to try and find out my G mothers maiden name, I know she married a Fredderick Mentor Westbury but I can't for the life of me remember her maiden name but Im 100% sure it wasn't Naughten or Laughton or Foy. Thanks

Hi

There is a marriage for Frederick Mentor Westbury to a Mary Ann Lawton in 1880 Walsall  this may be the Laughton connection but spelt a different way???
