William & Jane Kay Marriage 1865
My Great, Great, Grand parents William & Jane Kay came from Congleton Cheshire.
They were married 20-February 1865 in St Peters Church Congleton (marriage certificate)
Witnesses were John Frost and Ann Braithwaite, Married by John Hughes if I have read the spelling correct.
William was born in 1820 Leigh, Lancashire and Jane Kay nee Astle was born 1844 Aston Derby. They had 7 children. William B 1862, Herbert B 1864 Stillborn, Sarah E B 1868 , Alice B 1870, George B 1872, Charles B 1874 Stillborn, and Frank B 1874 all born Congleton, Cheshire except for Sarah & Alice who were born in Hulme Lanc.
In 1881 Hulme, William Kay was a Weaver, Cotton Tape. It looks like the Kay family moved around with the weavers looking for where the work was.
I think Williams Kays first marriage was to Elizabeth Fox married 1852 Congleton Cheshire but I an not sure. I have not proved this marriage.
In 1862 William son William was born, at this time father William was a Silk Weaver in Congleton and lived at Kelsall Street, The Kay family lived in Congleton by what I can work out untill about 1883 maybe a few years more. I know William Kay the son was living in Blackburn Darwen in 1901 census.
