Find Ancestors

Yes, posted Birth as was trying to narrow timescale...
Looking round on google search, seems to be references of Fitters, Mule Erectors going to India etc., could also just be as J. Hayes/Heyes too, quite a few!.

Chris :)

Edits (about Hathaway Mills, Mass.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hathaway_Mills

(The only information I have about James Hayes(Annie's father) he was presented with a pocket watch which is inscribed 'James Hayes 5th August 1893, Hathaways No.2 Mill, New Bedford, Massachusetts, USA)

this was 1893 so still missing in 1891 was he abroad in 1891

Thats him yes not sure about the Boston thing though

Good afternoon could someone have a look at the Passenger lists
James Heyes b:c1849 Bolton Lancashire Occ: Machinery Fitter in Cotton Mills
Can find him on 1881 and 1901 Census but missing on 1891 Census.
The rest of his Family are at home in Bolton in 1891
Maybe in Canada?
Many thanks
