Henry and Martha Haynes moved from England to Utah around 1880 help!

Hello, I am a new member to this site and hoping that someone can help me find some information.
On my mothers paternal line of the family...the Haynes / Haines I have found that Henry 1838-1914 born in Warmington 
and his wife Martha 1833-1914 moved from Bilston Wolverhampton England.
along with some if not all of their children to Nephi, Juab, Utah, USA. 

It seems such a massive leap to me for this family to make and I am wondering if anyone knows anything about them? 
As far as I know they would have been ordinary working class people... 
in the 1861 census Henry aged 28 was a labourer, so how did they manage financially etc to move all that way? and why did he move? 
Because of the Utah and Salt Lake City connection on many of their deaths 
I was also wondering if they became followers of the Mormon faith and subsequently moved for that reason 
(but this is just a guess as i really dont know )

the children that show a death in the USA names were: 

Noah Haynes 1855 - 1927 
Eliza Emma Haynes 1864 - 1920 
Hyrum 
Haynes 1869 - 1953 died in Las Vegas 
Agnes Haynes 1871 -1934 
Orson Haynes 1876 - 1909 
Edith Kirton Haynes 4 june 1883 -1969 
I also found it interesting that the last child had a middle name 
which is the same as her grandmothers maiden name! 

Edith was the last child as far as I can tell and 
the only one actually born outside of the Uk 
therefore I am guessing that they moved somewhere between 1876 an 1882? 

there are other brothers and sisters but I dont know if they too went to Utah as I dont have any death details for these people

I dont have any acess to any overseas records so cant trace them myself 
but I am surely intrigued and would love to know some more about this family 

hope someone can help? 
thank you

I'm doing some local history of Farmington, Utah and was wondering if your Henry and Hyrum Haynes could the founders and presidents to a copper/gold mine there. Do you have any ideas? Do you know what Hyrum was doing in Las Vegas when he died? Or what his profession was? They are mentioned in newspapers with their partners of Bogan, Hayes {maybe a misprint? The gentleman was Fred Hayes}, and Culmer. They were hoping on opening a mine as large as the current Bingham mine and I'm trying to learn more about the spot ~ any stories or such. Plus, if what I've found helps you then that is always good too. Please let me know if you think these might be the same people.

Thanks!

thanks for contacting me Chanelle,
its real good to hear from you.
I am very interested in any information about this family
but I am sorry that I cant say one way or another
if these are the people you are looking for ;o(
i only found out a few days ago about Henry and Martha
and their emigration story, Henry also had a brother Richard
who made the trip in 1643 on the "Amazon"
along with his wife Eliza Brown and his children
so if there is any connection with a Henry Haynes that might help.
I would love to know how you get on with your research and now I will try to find
any reference to his business adventure if he had any myself.
it does seem a possibility of the spelling mistake doesnt it!

Hope all will become clear very soon.

all the best
Teresa
After doing some more research, I believe I have a different person. The Henry Haynes I'm looking for was a boiler maker, was born in Rhymney, Wales in 1827 and died in 1900 in Salt Lake City. I'm sorry if I jumped the gun as I just found more information about him this morning. I hope you find the information you need on your lines. I understand how it goes in this hobby.

Good luck!
Chanelle
Hi Chanelle-

In 1920, Henry and Martha's son Hyrum, was working as a mason in Utah, he was 50. It's possible one of his siblings had a son Hyrum. Do you have further information on the company?

hi i to am researching the haynes tree.
my mothers great aunt was edith mary haynes who married thomas george reid in salt lake city 1898.
her brother sidney haynes stayed in uk,it seems from the info i have henry haynes was their grandfather.i am trying to find also how they managed to travel so far,this has been quite a revelation to the family as we were not aware there was such a salt lake conection.sidney had quite a few children and his grandchildren and great grandchildren are mainly settled in newcastle and windsor uk.

Hello, I have also been doing much research about Henry Haynes.  I really believe that this is the same Henry Haynes that was involved with the mining operations in Farmington Utah.  Henry's son, Hyrum, was even more involved with the mining operations.  I have collected affidavits, mining deeds and more about their mining operations in Farmington.

The records that I have, and using the date of birth for Hyrum that you listed above, show that Hyrum was put to work at the age of 17 in the mining claims that he and his father owned.

If you want any more information please let me know.

hi many thanks for your e-mail if you could e-mail me any more info that would be great.it is so interesting to hear of this side of the family that no one knew about.it is good to know that they had a good life out in Utah,would be lovely to trace any living relatives.

many thanks

While I am not exactly sure how Henry (Hyrum's father) first got involved into mining, I do have solid evidence that Hyrum was the first to buy several mining claims in the Farmington Utah area on January 7, 1884.  The first claim he had was named the Rhymney Mine.

 

It seems that Hyrum was convinced that these mining claims in Farmington Utah were so promising that he also bought the water rights to a "Spring of Water" for the explicit purpose of mining at the Rhymney Mine during the year of 1885.  I don't know the exact location of this spring because the directions are incredibly vague.

Hyrum probably did some prospecting in the next decade on the Rhymney Mine even though I haven't found solid proof of any work being done on the mining claims until the year 1897.  But the next affidavit I have showed that December 21st,1897 was when Hyrum and his associate, H.W. Owen, made a visit to the Davis County Courthouse to make a record about the Rhymney Mine.  The record shows that they bought several more claims, machinery rails, boarding house, supplies and tunneled the equivalent of 1000 cubic feet of rock.

Eventually, Hyrum leased out many of the mining claims to a John Bogan who apparently was a "Veteran" miner.  The lease states that Hyrum, who owned and was president of the Rhymney Gold & Copper Mining Company, was to retain 15% of net profits from all the mining claims that were mined by John Bogan.

John Bogan did an incredible amount of work on the mines.  Hyrum seems to disappear after the indenture was made as there is little record to be found of him being personally involved with the mines from this point.

I think it is safe to assume that Hyrum, and probably Henry, were very well off in Salt Lake City.  In fact, and I am trying to find more evidence of this, but it seems during the late 1800's, the Rhymney Gold & Copper Mining Company was incorporated and sold to several gentleman.  The new president was J.H. Moyle, who was the Democratic candidate for governor of Utah a the time. R.W. Barnes, who was the owner of Barnes Bank (which is now bankrupt and was headquartered in Kaysville, Utah) was the treasurer.  John Bogan was the general manager. They started out on the stock market with 400,000 shares valued at 10 cents per share.

An incredible story which only gets more interesting as John Bogan became involved with the mining operations.
