Hayden Hinsley

KildareDonaghmore (Kildare)

Hi I am looking for information on my great grand parents Wiliam and Kathleen Hayden or Hayden Hinsley. Their children were Dorothy, Clarrie, Poppy Ellen (Mona), Daisy, Vernon and Donald. There will be some variation of their names as the whole family was involved in the theatre and used different names sometimes.

I have the family living near London in the 1911 England census but believed they moved to Ireland perhaps after the war.

A news paper article has them doing shows in England in the early 1920's, but they may have travelled back for that.

I have probate information that I believe to be for Kathleen as she changed her name from Helen Howard Johnson before she was married. Probate notice states:    HINSLEY Helen Howard Hayden of Backmore Donaghmore County of Tyrone, widow, died 18 May 1957.

i would love to find out when and where they lived and as much information on the family and their life as I can. I believe their is one relation still living in the area, but they don't remember much about them.

hope someone can help. Regards Fiona

Hi Fiona,

Thank you very much for your message. I hope that someone recognises the family and makes a connection with you. In the meantime it may be an idea to also put a ?Reaching Out? message in a more local forum such as newsletters or newspapers. As one of the sisters at least was alive in the area until 1957 it is likely that there may be someone still there who remembers them. Some places where it may be possible to do this are:

Donaghmore Parish Bulletin: http://www.ashbourneparish.ie/news/parish-news/

Tyrone Times: http://www.tyronetimes.co.uk/

Tyrone Courier: http://www.tyronecourier.uk.com/

Best of luck with your search!
