Actually having a lot of relies to disentangle may be a nightmare to you - some people who can't find any ancestors would quite like it! :-)

Hope the following from the 1891 census will help rather than add to your nightmare: Northowram, Yorkshire Daveney, Charles 58 Head IRL Daveney, Sarah 53 Wife Heywood, Lancashire Daveney, Clara 29 Daughter Halifax, Yorkshire Daveney, Wilfred 19 Son Halifax, Yorkshire Daveney, Elizabeth16 Daughter Halifax, Yorkshire Daveney, Miranda 16 Daughter Halifax, Yorkshire Daveney, Lucy 15 Daughter Halifax, Yorkshire Daveney, Beatrice 6 GrandaughterHalifax, Yorkshire

Thanks for your help. Im in the process of working back so will let you know how i get on. There are another 11 on the 1881 census too!!!!!! Nowonder i have headache. Kelly x

Kelly Firstly, some clever clogs who knows how the 1901 census decoder works may be able to help you see how these Daveneys are connected (if they are). To find out if they are connected to you you have to work backwards, i.e. from you to your parents, to their parents etc. Parish baptisms can help you find which siblings belong together with the same parents. Don't assume because the name is right they are connected. Helen

I have been researching the Daveney side of my family tree for a while now. It would appear to be a regional name to my area Halifax, West Yorkshire. Im having a nightmare in that they seem to be springing up all over the place. I suppose there is every chance they are all related by birth or marriage. Heres what i have so far name etc wise. 1901 Census, 9 Lumb Lane Boothtown frederick Henry Daveney age 44 Sarah Daveney age 45 George Daveney age 22 Thomas Henry Daveney age 18 Benjamin Daveney age 16 Ethel Daveney age 14 Harriet Daveney age 10 Charles Richmond age 6 Parker Daveney age 2 1881 Census, 32 Melrose Street Ovenden Additional children as below Sarah Jane Daveney age 4 Willie Daveney age 2 George Herbert Daveney age 3 1901 Census, 15 Dove Street, Boothtown Sarah Daveney age 64 (widowed) Thomas Davebey age 42 (widowed?) Beatrice Daveney age 16 (grandaughter) Mary A Daveney age 15 1901 Census, 9 Leopold Street Francis W E Daveney age 32 Ruth Ann Daveney 34 At this address it also lists's 6 people from the crossley family as boarders? Help there i know wonder im confused looking at this litte lot. Does anyone know an easy qucik or prefarably simple way i can reconcile these people with there off spring spouses parents etc or am i asking too much. I have been trailing through 1837 on line but know little about all of them so marriages are are hard. Please help any advise would be welcome to this eager but new researcher. Thanks Kelly
