Greetings all, Being new to the list I'd like to ask if anyone is connected to the following lines that I am researching: WILLIAM AND MARY KAY (1841 census lists children as - Elizabeth 20, Alice 15, William 15, Jane 15, Sarahann 12, Margaret 11, George 5, and Nancy 3. I believe that their daughter ELIZABETH KAY is my 2nd great grandmother MARTHA E. KAY who married ISAAC WOOD at St. Peters, Bolton, on 2 January 1842. Isaac is listed on the marriage record as the son of JAMES WOOD, weaver, of Bolton. I am wondering if James is the one married to Catherine HOLT on 4 January 1815 at St Peters? Their children are "William" b 1816, Mary b @ 1818, Samuel b @ 1820, Robert b @ 1822, Ann b @ 1824, Rachel b @ 1826, James b 1827 and Ellen b 1829. My Isaac is in some records with the middle initial "W" and I'm wondering if the "William" born in 1816 could be my Isaac "W"? Or perhaps there is another Isaac born about that time who is working away? Would that have been common in the 1840s for an older son to live apart from the family? The address given on the St. Peters marriage record says they lived on Fletcher Street. After Isaac Wood and Martha E Kay marry in 1842, they have a daughter Mary b 1844 and emigrate to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, US in 1848. If anyone is connected to any of the above or can help prove or disprove these ideas, I would be most grateful to hear from you. With kind regards, nancy
