Thank you to those who responded to a previous inquiry about the HAYDEN family. Now that I have established the DOB for James Hayden (1st child) I feel more confident about finding (a) the marriage record for Edward HAYDEN and Mary HOWE and (b) the birth certs for their 3 daughters. JAMES HAYDEN (1st child) Certificate #175565 of Manhattan dated 1/16/1876 for James Hayden. Address: 317 W. 41st Street, Manhattan. Father Edward "P". Hayden born in Dublin Ireland, 30 (or 31) yrs old. Mother: Mary Howe born in Clarnagh Ireland, 30 yrs old. It is their first child. ** LOOKUP REQUESTS ** Marriage of Edward HAYDEN and Mary HOWE: Probably in 1875 given that first child born January 1876. Birth Cert: ** Margaret HAYDEN (1876 - 1885) ** Mary HAYDEN (1876 - 1885) ** Elizabeth HAYDEN (1876 - 1885) When I wrote NY they returned "NOT FOUND" responses, but obviously since another lister was able to find the record for James Hayden... they're out there somewhere! TIA! I truly appreciate the help so many of you offer -- especially when location prevents me from visiting the archives myself!
