hi,
i have had someone contact me asking if im related to the lackey family of Whitehaven (where i now live as my maiden name was lackey). I didn't even know there was lackey's here until today when i looked.
I have started to make a mini tree up of the lackeys of whitehaven. (There's not many of them that i've found so far.) Thomas Lackey (head of family) is from Ireland b 1845 (so they could be linked to my line of them.) and so is his wife Catherine Rey born 1851.
However, there is a lady listed on the 1881 census as mother to head, her name is Elizabeth Friar. On the 1881 she is listed as 70 and widow. I can't find her on the 1891 and the only death i can find of this name in whitehaven between the 2 census's is 1884 whitehaven and lists the Elizabeth as 54years old so i dont think its her unless it has been transcribed wrongly and is 74. If the ages are correct she would have been 43 when she had Thomas.
Is it likely she could be the mother of the household listed below the lackey family as the head there is also listed as irish and is 9years old than thomas lackey so makes the mother younger when she had the child. On this line i don't think its Thomas lackey's wife Catherine's mother as she was younger than thomas.
The 1881 census is the earliest i can find the family on, I have Thomas and catherine wedding of 1880 in whitehaven but nothing that is giving fathers name (and unless i can see a definite link to my family) i dont want to buy certs. 1891 they are still in the whitehaven area, 1901 they are in scotland, the 1911 they are in ryton northumberland, and 1939 Catherine is in sunderland as a widow.
There is also a John Lackey death in whitehaven in 1878 aged 55, and a john lackey in Maryport (45mins away) on the 1861 census. I can't link him to the above Thomas/family as of yet.
Any ideas please? Especially on Elizabeth Friar.
Thanks.

I have a feeling that 1 of johns siblings *could be* the link to thomas above. But more investigating is required on this.
