I have been trying to find out about May Blanche Murielle Lecky.
She was born 26th Feb 1868 in Hereford to George Eardley Lecky and Mary Jane Lecky "formaly" Barlow.
I cant find her in the 1871 census,
The 1881 cenus has her living as "Adopted daughter" to Hannah Latcham in Lancashire.
In 1886 she marries Harry Harrison and on this certificate she states that her father was Charles Lecky a Captain of Sailing Vessels.
In 1891 she is living as a boarder in Leeds without Harry and her daughter Annie but with her son Charles, she now says that she was born in Paris France.
In 1901 she is living with her family in Salford and again she says that she is from Paris.
In 1911 she is living with another daughter called May in Manchester as a boarder, also saying that she was from Paris.
Harry seems to be in the workhouse in 1911.
Would I be right in thinking that George Eardley Lecky WAS her father and that Charles was made up ?
I have a theory that George and Mary were not married. I have found a death for a Mary Jane Barlow in Hereford in 1872. George died in 1874. The Leckys were a very powerful family in Ireland and Georges mother on her remarrige became a countess.
Any ideas please.
