Scottish naming .....

Post by Ann E » Sat Jul 01, 2006 2:47 am

Has any one access to the 1851 census? If so could you please check to see if there are more than one Thomas KAY shoemaker with a son William? As, if William followed the Scottish naming of his children it doesn’t follow the pattern

Ellen LACEY & William Darryl Wilson KAY children Ellen, Alice Jane, Mabel , Len , Bertram Charles , Len , William Darryl, twins Darryl Frank. and Fred William, names in italic were stillborn or died young.

Thomas & Catherine KAY children Thomas, Rachael, Elizabeth, William, James (up to the 1851 census)

Thanks AnnE

Hello Ann,

Not quite clear on what you are trying to establish - Is it that William (married to Ellen) and Thomas(married to Catherine) are brothers?

I take it you have seen both families on the Freecen 1841 census.

Regards,
Annette M

Scottish naming

Hi Annette M & Ina
What I am trying to establish is if I have found the right Thomas !
William Darryl Wilson KAY & Ellen LACEY , children,
Ellen, Alice Jane, Mabel , Len , Bertram Charles , Len , William Darryl, twins Darryl Frank. and Fred William,
(On William marriage certificate he states, father Thomas KAY shoemaker,
& from census & army records William was borne Cannongate about 1839 -1842)

From1841 & 1851 census
Thomas( shoemaker) & Catherine KAY children Thomas, Rachael, Elizabeth, William, James (up to the 1851 census)
If William followed the Scottish naming of his children it doesn’t follow the pattern,
As non of his siblings or parents names are given to his children !& the only names that appear in his wife family are Ellen ,Jane& Frank!!!
Thomas parents were Thomas Kay & Rachel.

That is why I asked has any one access to the 1851 census? to see if there are more than one Thomas KAY shoemaker with a son William?
Thanks for info on census .
