Looking forward to that Julie - perhaps we should re-name this thread "Haley Calvert woman of mystery"!

Thanks for your help, everyone! I'll send for the Haley Calvert/Edwin Parkinson marriage certificate and report back.

She could well have been adopted and given a new name.

Julie once you have the marriage cert and can give us more positive info we may be able to go further.

I agree Mike, it's just too complicated. I don't see any way forward but to get either a marriage cert for Haley, or Louisa's birth cert.

Strangely there is no Alice Calvert birth in Leeds either.

However there is this census entry ( right age and born leeds)...

:1881

Matthew CALVERT Head M Male 30 York, York, England Steel Melter
Jane CALVERT Wife M Female 38 Rotherham, York, England
Alice CALVERT Daur Female 12 Leeds, York, England Scholar
Harriet CALVERT Daur Female 4 Leeds, York, England Scholar
Harry CALVERT Son Male 3 Leeds, York, England Scholar
Herbert CALVERT Son Male 2 m Leeds, York, England
:
Dwelling 2x Whitehouse Row
Census Place Hunslet, York, England


It appears that Hunslet covers part of Leeds

For example this is baby Herbert from the above census

Births Mar 1881 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CALVERT Herbert Edward - Hunslet 9b 317


... but still no birth for Alice Calvert.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT :

Looking for the marriage of above couple
This is the only one I can see

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marriages Dec 1881
CALVERT Matthew Keighley 9a 370
FOULDS Jane Keighley 9a 370
LAYCOCK Elizabeth Keighley 9a 370
Waterhouse Robinson Keighley 9a 370


There is this birth
Could be Charles' daughter to previous marriage

-----------------------Births Dec 1868
CALVERT Alice - Keighley 9a 176

Not convinced it's Haley Louisa though !

Thank goodness for that!
I don't think there is any doubt about Louisa Alberta being her sister do you? I would get her birth cert if it were me. Then you can look for the marriage of Alice and Charles.

Oopst - so Haley can't be Alice. But definitely her 1881 as apart from anything else, on image the H has been crossed off her name! What a puzzle.

But 1911 has her born 1868/1867, and death certificate is only as good as..........

Mary

Mary Report 12 Mar 2011 20:22

But Alice and Louisa Alberta are at home 1891.
Haley married 1888.

Charles calvert 1843 married A/M/J 1868 Leeds to Alice myers 9b 385

Haley L Parkinson died 1931 age 65 = 1866!!

I thought maybe Alice had her before she married but i couldn't find one.

I have tried just haley louisa ?? and again nothing.

Just on the 0ff-chance, but wandering off into uncharted territory now:

Births Mar 1867 (>99%)
Myers Alice Leeds 9b 415

You really do need that marriage cert for haley.

Haley L Parkinson

Complete speculation:

Marriages Jun 1868 (>99%)
Calvert Charles Leeds 9b 385
GREEN William Leeds 9b 385
Jordan Harriet Leeds 9b 385
MYERS Alice Leeds 9b 38

If haley's father turns out to be Charles you need this to sort out Alice's surname:

Births Sep 1871 (>99%)
Calvert Louisa Alberta Leeds 9b 42

Maybe Aley/Hayley was an alternative to Alice?
