Have a rellie who married in 1892 and changed from Emma Lethbridge to Way. Husbands name Edward. Sure thats who she married as she is down as E.Way daughter on her mothers obit notice. Have her on 1891 at home but can't find her on 1901 born 1867 in Bovy Tracey Devon dawn

Nor can I lol What was the date of her mother's obit notice? Sarah

Sarah 1933

She is probably mistranscribed. Have you tried looking for Hay/May etc. nell

Hi I've been playing with your puzzle and found lots of parallel stuff - the family in 1871 & 1881, the other bits of family in 1901, sister-Lucy's probable marriage in 1894 - but no Emma/Emily (she was called Emily in the 1881 census). If you haven't got that stuff already, I could post it for you here. Christine

Did a soundex on it but will go and do it as Hay/May and anything else I can think of.

Isn't this them? Edward Way 30 Devon Torquay Devonshire Bovey Tracey Clay Cutter Emily Way 34 Devon Bovey Tracey Devonshire Bovey Tracey

Brenda where did you get that then? looks like them

Christine Knew she was Emily on one of the census but is actually Emma. Can you post the stuff for me and I can double check what I have. If her sister Lucy marriage is to a Call its the right marriage as Lucy is hubbies Gt grandmother. Am trying to do sideways bits as stuck on everything else. Thanks Dawn

Searched 1901 for Emily 32 +/- 5 born Bov* and then Way in Bov* 1901 is very fussy about how you spell things, so as someone said earlier today, it's better to be vague.

I think that was a good transcript from the National Archives site. On Ancestry it is: Edward A Hay abt 1871 Torquay, Devon, England Head Bovey Tracey Devon Emely Hay abt 1867 Bovey Tracey, Devon, England Wife Bovey Tracey Devon Another wonderful effort from Ancestry! The surname is Way on the original page, but is also Emily, which is wrong, but likely the enumerator made an error! Update: have just seen you say she was called Emily once before!! Hooray! Sarah

Thank you all. Blows my theory out the water though, her mother has two children after she became a widow, got one cert today to see who father was and it wasn't mothers child but Emmas father unknown. Thought if hubby was older than her then maybe he was the father but doesn't look like it. At least you have found her for me. Thanks again Dawn

Christine Thanks for them haven't done the siblings yet so has helped knowing where they are. Dawn p.s. hope rehearsal went okay

Hi The rehearsal went very well, thank you. The conductor decided to get the voices all mixed up instead of in blocks. As the piece is pretty well known, it worked very well. I reckon the sound was much better. I should say that the two siblings weren't alone with their Heads-of-house, I just thought that that would be the most important bit for now. Christine

By the way, I think this is Edward: Name: Way, Edward Albert Record Type: Births Quarter: June Year: 1871 District: Newton Abbot County: Devon Volume: 5b Page: 158 Christine

Thanks Christine Hadn't go that one will try and sort them all out later. dawnie
