Just come across this forum by accident. Am researching the history of Thurnham, Lancashire re- the actual place and also the people who lived there as far back as I can go. I have a database of about 2,000 names including Hayes (also spelt Hays and Hayse). I have a Joseph Hayes b. 1802 who was a widower in 1851,71 and 81 census and lived at Briggs Brow no. 3 cottage as an agricultural labourer in 1881, also as a farmer and groom. Other sources for him are Thurnham cottage garden rents 1892, land improvements 1861, and from the Church of the Latter Day Saints website, he was the son of Margaret. I also have a Joseph Hayes - no birthdate - who married an Elizabeth Singleton not Simpson. Somany people with the same Christian and Surnames I may well have put some info with the wrong person. Does this help or confuse?
