Hayes family of Prince Edward Island
I am looking for information on the Hayes family of Rollo Bay, Prince Edward Island Canada.Richard Hayes (1819-1908) was born in Kilkenny, Ireland and died in Rollo Bay, PEI.His wife Nancy (Ann) MacDonald Hayes (1802-1894) was born in Clear Springs (Hay River), PEI.Nancy was the daughter of Lauchlin MacDonald and Nancy (Ann) McIntyre of Clear Springs, Lot 44.Lauchlin MacDonald and Nancy were two of the earliest settlers of the Clear Springs area.Richard and Nancy had at least two children.They had a son named James whom I think was a harbor master in Souris, PEI.Family lore says he died at sea.James (b.1848) had at least two children, Theresa (b. 1883) and James (b. 1881).In the census records of 1891, 1901 and 1911 it lists a Flora (b. 1851) as a daughter.In the 1911 census Flora is still living in the same home in Rollo Bay with her daughter Theresa (m. James “Jim” Lannigan).I don’t know if Flora is the daughter of Richard and Nancy Hayes or James' wife.I think she is James’s wife.Richard’s occupation was listed as a shoe maker.Richard and Nancy Hayes are buried in St. Alexis cemetery in Rollo Bay, PEI.Their son James is also buried in St. Alexis cemetery.I am trying to find out if Flora is their daughter or daughter in law. If Flora is not their daughter, then who is their daughter?I am also interested in any information on descendants.In Nancy Hayes’ obituary it says she had six grandchildren and I have only found two.Any information would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!
