RE: RE: Mayes Family
Hello, I am not sure if we are related in any way. I have been searching my family and have found a James Mayes who was born in 1850, but my search mentioned a place called Eye, in Suffolk. Would you be able to tell me if there is any connection? James married Ann Eliza Hailes, also noted as having been born in Eye in 1861. I think, if I have got this right, they were related to my paternal grandmother Ada Yarker of Idle Bradford. I am struggling to find connections during and earlier than this date, so I cannot be certain of any information I have, but I will keep searching. If you, or anyone else has any information that can fill in the gaps I have, and can be passed on, it would be most appreciated.
