It's an Island that's an island's island.

Hello Hilbert. As commented before:- The wrong end of Lincolnshire for the part of my family from that county. They moved to Bradford, not unlike Jeremy Paxman's ancestors, who lived near where I grew up. I had the chance of a place on Archaeological Science degree, but would not have got a grant with it being at University of Bradford. I know the area through work contacts with nearby Doncaster. I have done the trip up and down M18 to the area discussed regularly, so this was very interesting. Extra :- tonight I saw a video on local history associations with Catherine Warr being interviewed. She has a channel, but was helping them with local history videos. She also wrote a book, but on Yorkshire customs. I wondered if your academic pals knew about this? She described herself as very young, at 23, to be doing local history.

Oh excited to hear this just started. one of my Hayes/de la Haye Grandfathers was one of the lords of the manor. I have tracked my Hayes paternal line back through the Vikings( Norway to Orkney to Normandy to England . I better pull out my tree and notes.

[@mh2.024]

Can you tell me what Haplogroup by any chance?

[@AlannahRyane]

@@mh2.024 No I Never had a test done and don't know anyone on my Mothers Paternal Elite Hayes/Heyes/de la Haye line. Have a few 'cousins' in Nova Scotia whose results I used to connect a bunch of the IRISH there. from her Maternal line. There are a couple of 'cousins' in Liverpool on her poor Hayes line but of course could only get back to 1800... I can check the 'cousins' on the elite Hayes line here in Ontario to see if any of them did a test might get something out of it . Could I even get that info from those tests?

[@mh2.024]

@AlannahRyane as long as it's a male they could do a bigY test to determine terminal Y haplogroup. I myself being a Hayes and can only go back to the early 1800s Ohio.

[@AlannahRyane]

@@mh2.024 Well hi cous! Do you have that ancestor's origin location? And by 1800 the name was so common everywhere has been difficult tracing the poor Liverpool line. So many ELITE records are online from the ancient books they were so diligent with their genealogy to get their status and wealth.

[@mh2.024]

@AlannahRyane my 4XGG Joseph Hayes/Hays was born in 1824 Muskingum Ohio. There are several Hayes' in that area at the time but I cannot find anything concrete to tie his father to. However Census record indicates his father and mother were both born in Pennsylvania. Of course I'm sure you know searching for records before 1850 is not easy. So I'm at a wall currently.

John de la Haye executed by Henry VII during War of the Roses. His son John was born at Belton Manor Axholme. My Duttons (ODO Norman and Manor of Dun tune) and the de lay Haye line steward to Robert Mortain all came with Wm... so nothing so far in England before that. Oh you are talking about Belton right now so cool. Do you know where the manor was?

[@antonyreyn]

Great stuff Alex, ancestors from North Notts so not far off, I will pick your book up in Nottingham. Cheers and get the Axholmians to rejoin Mercia

[@AyubuKK]

Very fascinating

[@AlannahRyane]

Now you're mentioning Chester! I have 20 generations of Vikings prior to Ralph de la Hay coming over with Wm.

Jan 6 is an ancient pagan celebration following the winter solstice. Still Christmas day in Russia and the wider Coptic church.

Odin. The hooded one.
