Margery Kay b 1827 3xgg in workhouse......her mother (no father)
Harriet Kay b abt 1805 4xgg in workhouse..her mother(no father)
Ann Kay b abt 1780 Penistone..5xgg...don`t know if Ann Kay was her married name or if she was Ann Kay at birth

According to the site below there is no information before 1834.

Sheffield archives hold the records but it says virtually no local records survived.
