McCoy family

[heywood]

Might it be that Thomas was the father of  the children before 1881 but not the children after.
Do you have birth certificates for the later children?

[heywood]

There was a child, Joseph MCoy Born and died 1894. The birth is showing mother’s name as Campbell.

I can see Ellen in 1901 4079/142/35

Is she to be seen in 1911? When did she die? Was she described as married or a widow on her death?

Thanks Rosie.

Possible Records:

1901
Thomas McCoy 67 yrs  Bradford - conviction for drunkenness
1903 as above but 65 yrs
1903 As above but Otley
1904 - Begging
The ages vary slightly in above and the places are the courts I think rather than residence.

1911 census
Thomas McCoy here but he is described as single.

There is a death in Skipton in 1922 for Thomas McCoy 82 yrs.

Seen that 1911 census record it certainly looks like a possibility
