Grundy David H- Hague Manchester 8d 443
Hague Clara - Grundy Manchester 8d 443

Do you know Ann's maiden name ?
( it would be on your mum's birth certificate.)

Thank you so much mike i am awe struck please could I ask you another favour is there any information on Clara and Ann hague for clara's birth or any thing else that could help me this is unbelievable too late to ring my mum! I have looked at the 1901 census but dont know much before or after, thank you so much joanne

I take it this is the census entry

1901 Ann Hague -40- Manchester Manchester Manchester Charwoman

Guessing .....

Marks Mary Jane Manchester 8d 331
Swann Sarah Ann Manchester 8d 331

sorry mike we must be typing at the same time, we dont really know anything about ann, my mum was the youngest of seven and nobody spoke about relatives apart from stern granny hague, my mum has no info. on her dad no parents names or anything, his parents dishowned him when he married my nana! mystery in manchester! thanks again Mike.

This looks like Clara's birth.
You would need to buy the certificate to see the details.
It would also confirm if Ann was indeed Ann Byrne.

Births Mar 1897 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hague Clara - Prestwich 8d 421

Hi Mike, I am a bit consfused i am new to this as if you didnt realise 2 weeks in and not got very far, June 1894 Ann byrne would that be a marriage between Edward hague or alfred calligan, i am hopeless at this i have found links for my mums side all over the place and completely wrong. is some of this down to good guess work as well as past records? could I find any information for David Harold Grundy on the original marriage certificate for clara and David. cheers joanne

Perhaps someone could look up this entry from 1901 census.
I'm afraid I don't have access.


1901
David H Grundy - 3 - Born Little Hulton Lancashire - residing Swinton & Pendlebury - Juvenile

The marriage doesn't specify who partnered whom.
I wouldn't count on that record until you get it confirmed that you are indeed looking for Ann Byrne and Edward Hague.

That information will be on Clara's birth certificate.

The marriage certificate of Clara and David will tell you their father's names and occupations.

I would suggest buying these two certs first and then working backwards with the information they provide.

thanks mike i will be on to it in the morning. night folks

Hi Joanne,

There is this David Harold Grundy in 1911, correct age ( matches with 1901 supplied by Jax)

James Cooney 39 miner
emily Cooney 49 laundry hand
David Harold Grundy 13 - now described as nephew

States James and Emily been married 11 years and no children born .
21 Peers Street ,Pendlebury, Salford.

On 1901 Maria Wray is described as step daughter ( to James )so Emily obviously married before.

best wishes
