Don't suppose any of these Kays became the High Green Kays did they?

Hi Janet.

 

Would you be interested in meeting up in Baslow when myself and Stans kids meet up to lay Stans delayed Headstone in Baslow. This is the plan that I have in mind anyway either on or around what would have been Stans 82nd Birthday **/05/2012. It would be great if Multiples of related people showed up.

 

I now have two accounts on here since I have a hard time remembering my passwords, Doh!

 

Thanks, Robert.

I am Alan Kaye and while I have an E this was only added a 100 or so years ago. I know the story about this and intend to write out the history and will post it on the kay family history web site and this forum if people want to know.

 

Any Kay living in west Yorkshire will almost certainly will have connections with York where the kay family go back to circa 1400

 

Look in York Freemans Gild (Guild) archives found in Council records in City Library now with a new name in the city centre.

 

Also more recent history the last 3 generations of kaye including me, are connected with the Merchants Adventurers Hall in York.

 

If anybody wants further information my e mail is alan@kaye.co.uk

I've been researching the KAY family (in secret, for a friend's "special birthday" in March!).

 

I'm having difficulty in finding Henry Kay b1860 Baslow on the 1871/81 and 91 censuses. (I have him on the 1861/1901 and 1911 censuses.) Can anyone help?

 

ALSO: The only marriage I can find for a male KAY/female Hawley is a JAMES KAY to MARIA HAWLEY in Liverpool/Q2/1885/8b/198....but I've discounted this one in the past as I've never known Henry to be called James? Can anyone enlighten me about the marriage details between Hawley and Kay? Would really appreciate some PROOF of Henry's marriage to Mary Ellen.

 

I've sent an email to Alan20000 but no reply as yet.

 

I know the names Harry b1887, Ida b1886, Percy b1891, Austin b1894 and Ethel b1889, although I haven't traced any of their marriages or descendants yet.

 

Please help - I've come up against the infamous brick wall - and my head's getting sore!!

HILLSBRO said (in 2010):

Henry is shown as a 5 month-old baby in the 1861 census, his parents being Charles Kay, labourer, aged 31 born at Baslow, and Ann Kay, 32, born at Tideswell. In the 1871 census, Ann doesn't appear with Charles and the children, though Charles is shown as married, not widowed. By this time he was described as a "farmer".

 

I've already found Ann on the 1871, visiting her brother, Joseph and his wife Elizabeth, in Bakewell. Among those staying with him are his 72yo mother, Mary Greatorex, and his 42yo sister ANN KAY with her 8yo son (so Joseph's nephew) John.

 

This was how I managed to get the KAY/GREATOREX proof.

[MYPATCH]

Hi all,

 

my great grandmother was Ida Kay (later White), born in Loxley in 1888. She had three brothers Harry (b. 1887), Percy (b. 1891) and Austin (b. 1894) and I believe a sister called Ethel?

 

Her parents were Henry Kay (b. 1861) and Mary E Kay (not sure on maiden name, b. 1861), both from Baslow. Henry was a Blacksmith.

 

I am basically wondering if anyone has any information (parish records, etc) relating to this family and the Loxley area. The family were very prominent in Baslow and I have already found records and information for Henry Kay and his family.

 

Just doing research into family history and I am keen to find out as much as possible about these people that I have never met or heard much about. It would be nice to get an idea of where my family came from and preserve some memories and information.

 

Thank you.

 

Chris Elliott.

 

Would your White side of the family have originated from Baslow as well? Mine did and were farmers in Baslow/Bubnell and I have traced them back to Great Longstone in 1625,Mathieu White.

Ida Kay married Robert William White in 1919. Robert's father was from Carbrooke, Norfolk, but was illegitimate, so the trail ends there. Robert's mother was called Elizabeth Harvey and was born in Essex. Both of them are buried in Burngreave Cemetery. I believe that Robert and Ida are buried in Loxley.
