General Chat

Thank you for your reply Pat.

With Chris on board, we managed to figure out who was searching for Minnie.

Prickles. :-)

I am very sorry for not replying immediately to you all but have had a family illness to attend to.
I really do appreciated all you help. Hopefully next week I can start going through all your info.
So sorry fpr this delay.
Thankyou all Pat

Oh, norty Maria Airey.........and there was me saying how well she did for herself!

William Airey on the 1901 census, appears as Willam Ancy on Ancestry.

Apart from Patricia hoping to find out what happened to Minnie Skeen, I don't even know if any of this information is of interest to her?

As there were no words of appreciation, I do believe I have wasted many hours of my time.

:-(

(right you are PH, will await Patricia, and see what she thinks to it all, I think!)

Chris :)

Joseph Airey was William's brother.

He was born 1891 Salford.

He is on the 1911 census I posted, living with his married sister....Annie Lindsay.

So I wouldn't mind betting this is William on the 1911 census.........

William was 9 years old when his mother died.......so I wonder if perhaps he was fostered out to a Taylor family and decided to keep that surname.

Mother Ellen died in 1892.

I have not found any of the Airey's on the 1901 census.

Good girl Chris!!

:-D

So William was looking for the daughter of his mothers sister.

In other words........his cousin Maria Alice Egan aka Minnie.

(I just need to get my head around that! ;o))

Wonder if below Birth?, at bottom of first page on Navy Record, in 'blacky' patch!, says 'name given on entry to be adhered to, then what looks like 'although 9 May 1883?...

Image overleaf then mentions NZN Appointment.

(on Find My Past also)

Chris :)

(no idea where Taylor name comes from, will leave that to PH and others!, lol)

this has reminded me that there was a notice in an Auckland paper in 1923.this person was a CPO Airey of HMS Philomel seeking Minnie Egan. I did make enq's into this person & origin but got no response.

Nudging up for Patricia.

:-)

I was just trying to get my head around that.

Soo......Walter married his Uncle Thomas's wife's sister Ellen.

Walter's father William married Thomas's sister Maria.

Phew!.....I think I have that right! :-)
