Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 18,042 Send Message	Hi Margaret - welcome to the boards. Can I just clarify, do you mean she married Moses in 1873?

Member Since: February 2007 Posts: 4 Send Message	Can any one help? This lady married Moses Hayes my Great Great Grandfather in 1973. The story in the family is that she came to this country (Newport in 1870) following the Otto Von Bismark war the dates would fit but she arrived pregnant or with a son Joseph born 1870 or 1871.In the census she is listed in one as born Devon and one as born Newport. I can't seem to find her maiden name not sure if it's Cordey (which is a Breton Name) Any advice? The Breton origin has been the source of many tales over the years and my relatives Grandfather and Great Grandfather look Breton. Very strange would like to know more. Thanks If anyone can help.
