Mary (Polly) Ann Hayes - Birmingham
I am seeking information on Mary (Polly) Ann Hayes, born 9 December 1866, the 6th of 10 children to Joseph and Fanny Hayes (nee Gyngell).The family lived in Birmingham.At the age of about 16 Mary Ann had a falling out with her older sister and sought passage to Australia a voyage she is said to have made unaccompanied.Once in Australia she meets and marries William James Moorhouse on 17 August 1889 in Melbourne where she raised her 8 children.
At some stage she must have reconciled with the family as she returned to England for a visit around 1924.
Any information on the Hayes family will be gladly received.
Thank you
