Still trying to find

As many of you here will know i have spent a good deal of time looking for my family. I have had limited success on another thread regarding my Eedle family (the people here at Genes are still looking apparently).

Information has now led us to believe i am maybe looking for the Hayho family?

So far i have,

Olive Helen Heyho (sometimes on the census as OH Heyho) All i have on her is that she was born after 1837 and before 1911. I have her i think on the 1911 census but i cannot at the min place the information, so i'm going to talk nothing for a while and pad out this bit of data to hide this fact.

I am also trying to find anyone who lives near Swanny. I remember my GGGGGGGGGGGGGG Aunt used to tell me about living down stream from there, and having to help her father carry the paddles up to there that he'd made for the boats.

I know there are some really good people here who could possibly find my family.... I need this data urgently tho, yes i am aware i've taken many years to ask the question, but now i have thought about it i want the answers immediately.

I look forward to reading your answers in a month when i have remembered i'd written this.

Kindest Regards

I P Freely.

I am wondering whether she married a Mr Wat and subsequently gave birth to the following.

Births Sep 1891 (>99%)
Watho Thomas Charles St. Olave 1d 201

This occasion was so auspicious that she was catapulted into immediate sainthood.

Where did my message go? Must have forgotten to click reply button.

Anyway, I wonder if you are related to the Hohums of Tinyhamlet (no way are you getting location obviously).

This tree of mine is looking huge..... i think i might actaully have people on it i'm not related to....

What an achievement?

It is not the size of the tree which counts, but the quality of the leaves on the branches.

I recommended that you join the 'I've got the largest family tree in the world' society - of which there are many members.

OOOOoooh Cynthia, what a marvilous idea!

I think i have some work to do yet tho..... i appear to still have people i may actually be related to in my tree, i'm not too sure how that will go down within the society?

Might I suggest where you have gone wrong? You may have contacted people to whom you are actually related. I find sending this message to random members works best:

"Can I view your tree?"

On no account say why or let them view your tree, obviously.

I would also suggest that you look in the search box above to see if anyone on this site has anything like the names you are researching in their trees. If you find a connection, you can contact the tree owner.

Remember to look under the variations of spellings:

Hayho
Heigho
Heyhow
Hi-di-ho


and make sure you contact them all.

Thanks for that guys (gals?)

So you think i may have people i'm actually related to in my tree.... ahhhh maybe thats why it doesn't make sense ???

I was so convinced i wasn't meant to have all the same names in this tree thingy.

It really just didn't make sense all these people having the same names....i mean sheesh imagine being called Norman Eedle and then finding out your dad was called Norman too, and then his father was also a Norman, i didn;t think that sounded right.

So i just ned t randmly contct vrious peple on ere nd hope thy opn their tree up fr e?

Whatdoidowiththeinformation? I assume i have toremove all the relevant info andthe datesand just addnames?

I'm sure i've seen Janey say we have to remove all the non relavant data cos she hates it I want her to eventually look at my tree cos we mightbe related and i'd hate for her to think i had filled it with non relevant information thanks eveyone you've all been a great help today keep up the good work Genes must pay you well

Jan, I must disagree. When requesting access to others' trees, it is always best to open your tree to them. This is what will persuade them that your request is sincere. They will then be able to spend merry hours dredging around in your tree looking for the name that is the header on your post, to no avail, since it isn't there, it was just a name you took a fancy to and searched for in trees.

For instance, when I was 13, I might have sat in class pretending I was going to marry a man whose name I liked, and writing over and over, say, "Mrs Janey Cholmondeley". (Of course, since I was Janey, and would not be married to Janey, that would have been flat wrong, but ne'er mind.)

So now I search trees for men named Cholmondeley and when I light on one about the right age whose name I like, I send a private message and open my tree. And when they open their tree back to me, I can see whether he is married, and if not, then I am all set to do an ER lookup and start pressing my suit.

I find this to be an excellent way of meeting eligible men, don't you??
