Hi I am still stuck with my HALLIDAY family--very little to go on, and common names at that! Richard HALLIDAY and Jane KETLEY (dau of John) were married? lived common law?? had two (or more??) children: Agnes, born 1843 Archibald, Born 1446 Jane KETLEY then has a son with Morris WELSH in 1851, named George Jane KETLEY has a daughter, (Margaret I think), which bore the KETLEY surname Archibald left Scotland sometime before 1871 census date, as he is listed as living at the Chelsea Barracks with soldier as his occupation. He married later that year, and as far as I can tell did not return to Scotland. However, I have not found his death in England, and his wife and children were living in a workhouse in 1879. Perhaps he did return to Scotland??? Anyone find a death for an Archibald HALLIDAY after 1879? Archibald was my great grandfather. In the 1881 census, we find the family as such: George WELSH, head Jane KEIGHTLEY, mother to head Agnes HALLIDAY, sister to head and another girl (forget the name, can't find my note!) who is listed as niece to head-with HALLIDAY as her surname--illegitimate child of Agnes perhaps? Age of the two is appropriate for mother/daughter Then, nothing of any of them. I have no birth or death or marriage for Richard HALLIDAY, No death for Jane KETLEY (HALLIDAY?? WELSH??). Same for Agnes--so many of them, hard to tell who is who. Any information or suggestions (other than Scots Origins; I don't have a credit card) where to look for information appreciated! Take care, Cindy Gilbert
