Ok will do. Many thanks to you Jess and Carrie for your time and advice. Regards Vanessa

I think the best thing would be to get the MC and then we can look for Mary to help. all the best Carrie

No Carrie. I have to apply in writting to Leeds and i need to get my funds built up for a few more aswell. Vanessa

Do you have Mary and Williams marriage certifcate, what was her fathers name.

Jess. My grandmother`s sister and brother born respectively 1909 and 1911. mothers maiden name, Mchale. Plus my grandmothers birth cetificate in 1904. Vanessa

Vanessa - how do you know her name was Mchale?

Carrie. The first Mary on your list married the second name on your list. Mary`s name misspelt again. these are my great grandparents. Mary`s maiden name was Mchale. AHHHH!!!!! jUST PULLED MORE HAIR OUT. Vanessa

Mc Cague doesnt look promising !

Hi Jess. I have got Williams birth certificate here and it states Birth-William Mckegg. Born 3 st lawrence court st lawrence York Mother-Bridget Mckegg late Breen formaly Crane. Father- Dennis Mckegg. On the 1881 census William and his mother were living in long close lane after Dennis`s death in 1880 in York. Bridget remarried from this address to John. Sorry to put you to all this trouble but as you can see they are a problem.. Vanessa

What name is he under in 1891 back in a Mo, got to change Computers, Ahhhhh

Now which Mary was it???? hope it was the easy one:) Mary McCague 1899 Jul-Aug-Sep Leeds (1837-1929) West Riding Of Yorkshire William McKegg 1899 Jul-Aug-Sep Leeds (1837-1929) West Riding Of Yorkshire Mary Williams 1899 Jul-Aug-Sep Leeds (1837-1929) West Riding Of Yorkshire

Carrie. In 1891 he is down as a 42year old man living with his mother (Bridget). at the same address as the others. That can not be possible. He should be 12 years old and his mother`s surname should now be DRINKELL because she remarried in 1881 to a JOHN DRINKELL. And she says she is 59years old and from America. She died that year and she was only 45years old and from Ireland. Now you know why i am going round the bend!! Vanessa

Jess LOVE! that Village name, Lol:))))))))))))

The problem with these folk that say they are born Places like York, they often arent - and it actually easier to trace them if they say the name of the village ( abeit just outside York) that they were actually born in. Image the difference John bYork 1873= hundreds and John born 1873 Lower Bottom Wrinkle..... 1 probably! ----------------------------------------- what was marys maiden anme?

What about the 1891, where does he state he was born then

Hi Carrie. William was born in York in 1878 and is still in York on the 1881 census with his mother Bridget.(But she`s another story!). Vanessa

Also i may add, my great great great grandmother marrred name on the records is MCCAIG. And When she died a year later it was MCCAIG,but she is buried as MCKEGG!!!!! Vanessa

Evening Vanessa Does William ONLY State York as place of birth?

Good evening Carrie. Yes. Eventually with the help of others on GR. but the surname is misspelt on every census. MCKEY-MCKEG. Even my great great great grandparents marriage in Ripon in 1847 the surname was spelt MCCAIG. Their son Dennis`s birth in Selby his surname is spelt MCAGE. Has you can see this is why i am going bonkers. Vanessa

Thanks Jess. I wonder if they were still in Leeds. Dennis was born in 1902 and died in 1902 in York. His burial date was 08/02/1902. He only lived for 1 month. They could have moved to York while Mary was pregnant with him. Vanessa
