Hi, My granny was Frances hackett. Her dad was Thomas Hackett, sister to Josephine Hackett Clayton. An interesting find: In the 1900 census, I found a Hanley family that one of the Daneys is listed with. My library has Heritage Quest on line, and the 1900 is indexed. So, I searched for Daney, as I have never been able to find the Claytons listed. Well... the Claytons were listed under the surname Hanley, which was in reality, Bessie (Josephine's widowed sister who was living with them) last name. A quick rundown Joseph Owen Hackett and Mary Mckenna, born about 1840 in Ireland, came to RI in 1860, then on to Ohio. Kids: John, born in Ireland 1860, Frank, born about 1862, RI, Bridget, 1864, Maggie, 1865, Thomas, 1869, Josephine, 1874 (this is from memory). Anna, who married Charles Tite and Mary who married Jacob Daney. The problem I have had with Anna and Mary is that I have never found them on the census with the family. Keep in touch. laura bisforbooks <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Laura, It's wonderful to hear from you. I was going over our emails from 1999-2000. I remember your granny's aunt is Josephine Clayton, who is your granny? If your granny's aunt and my grandpa's aunt were both Josephine Clayton, and she was a sister of Mary Hackett Daney. Who were your granny's siblings? parents? Are they one and the same as mine? or was your granny's mother one of Mary Hackett's siblings child? Curious minds want to know ;+ ) I'm glad you're still active in the geneology mailing list. Since my husband died my life has had so many twists and turns I really wasn't able to keep up. I'm trying to cut back at work to four days just so I can spend more time on this project. I also found a buddy in my son's mother in law. She gave me access to Ancestry.com from her home. I had gone to LDS once (it's right down the street from me), but they seem to want to get things resolved even if the match might not be right. I did appreciate the access they have to all the databases though. This is such a fascinating endeavor, I hope to spend as much time as possible on it now. Don't get lost! I miss our emails exchanging info. Take care Roberta Chapin [email protected] LAURA HELLAND wrote: Hi Roberta I believe we have corresponded in the past. I have both Hacketts and Daneys in my line, have found a census with the Daney children listed in an orphanage and have found them listed as living with my granny's Aunt from the Hackett side. Email me and we can talk some mor. Laura [email protected] bisforbooks wrote: Hello everyone, I just subscribed to this list. I was advised by other geneological buffs that the people on this list know a great deal. My maternal great-grandmother died in Carlisle Twp. in 1899. There were a number of children. I have not located all of them and would like some information on Gore Orphanage. Does anyone know if it was in existience in 1899-1900? Would there be any records salvaged from there? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
