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
Teresa
