Cousins both called Arthur James HASE born 1883
published by Pat Hase on Fri, 22/03/2019 - 22:39

William & Amelia HASE had 7 children in Weston and two of their sons William Barnard HASE born in 1855 and Francis (Frank) Western HASE born in 1863 presented them with grandsons in 1883 both called Arthur James HASE.

Frank's son was born 4 July 1883 in Milton and was christened at Kewstoke Church the following month. I know that this Arthur James HASE emigrated to America in 1907 via Canada and I am in touch with some of his descendants.

William's son, the other Arthur James HASE, was born 10th Oct 1883 at 16, Galton Street, Queen's Park, London but not christened until 20 August 1884 at St Augustine's Church Paddington. I believe he probably married a Rosina NEWMAN 11 Jan 1910 at St Mary Magdalena, Paddington but his name is listed as Arthur James HAYES - father given as William HAYES with an occupation of Platelayer. The same occupation as William HASE his father on the 1911 census which was a GWR Platelayer.

Then the track goes cold with this Arthur James HASE/HAYES. I'd be grateful for any ideas for tracing what he or they did next. His father died in 1919 and is buried in the Kensington & Chelsea Cemetery and his mother, Eleanor Charlotte died in 1930 and is buried in the same cemetery. Thank you

Hi Pat. There is an Arthur James HAYES born 10 October 1885 (not 1883, but...) living in Erith, Kent in 1939. He is a widower. He has a number of children living with him. The youngest is Peter born 1934. If this is your AJH then his wife Rosina would have died some time after Peter's birth and before the 1939 Register. There is a death of a Rosina A Hayes registered in Chelsea in 1935. She was 50. Might be worth a look (if you haven't already).

Thank you so much for your suggestions Dave, - they were new to me. The death of Rosina HAYES in 1935 is certainly worth looking into. I'm not so sure about the 1939 register entry because, using the GRO index and FreeBMD, I can't match any of the children with Rosina's maiden name of NEWMAN. In fact I can't find a common mothers' maiden name for them at all!. But it does look interesting -more work needed!

If it's any comfort, I have just tried to do the same and had the same result. All very odd. I did manage to find a death record for Peter James HAYES (born 27 January 1934) in June 1990 in Thanet, Kent (Vol 16 p1840).
