I made a couple of mistakes transcribing in my first post.

Hrathel HAYES, Grand Daughter 1 b.Gt Malvern, Worcestershire

It was entered as Heathel

There is a Charles Thomas Daffey and Dianna Holt on the same page

Her name should read Diana

Why she changed her name to Hannah is anyone's guess?!?

Deaths Mar 1886 DAFFEY Charles 39 Upton 6c 210

1891 census RG12 Piece: 2332 Folio: 52 Page: 39
Reg. District: Upton on Severn
Sub District: Hanley Castle
Parish: Great Malvern
Address: Bellars Lane, Great Malvern, Worcestershire

John Hayes, Head 29 Stone Mason b. West Bromwich, Staffordshire
Hannah Hayes, Wife 28 Dressmaker b. Malvern, Worcestershire
Ethel Hayes, Daughter 11 b. Malvern, Worcestershire
Lilly Hayes Daughter 6 b. Malvern, Worcestershire
Hannah Daffey Mother Widow 64 b. Malvern, Worcestershire

From the 1881 census

Hannah DAFFEY, Wife 50 b. Berrow, Worcestershire

so Diana/Hannah born about 1830.

Could this be her baptism?

Baptism: 06 Sep 1830, St. Faith, Berrow, Worcestershire
Name: Dianna (actually copied correctly)
Father: George HEATH, Mother: Eliza

If it is, then it was a deliberate transcription correction I made in my original post

familysearch has this marriage. Could it be for Diana's parents?

Groom: George Heath
Bride: Eliza Worsey
Marriage: 28 Jan 1830, Birtsmorton, Worcestershire
indexing project (batch) number:I04393-4, source film number:350603

Birtsmorton and Berrow are less than a mile apart.

-----------------------------

Groom: John Holt
Bride: Diana Heath
Marriage: 19 Apr 1853, Saint Mary, Great Malvern, Worcestershire
indexing project (batch) number: M06489-1, source film number: 0546147-149

Could this be the baptism for John Holt, Diana's first husband?

John Holt
baptism: 27 Dec 1829, Great Malvern, Worcestershire
Father: John Holt, Mother: Rose Hannah
indexing project (batch) number: I04378-6, source film number: 350592

If this is the correct family then I'll take the credit . But... if it's the wrong family someone really really stupid has hijacked my postings

Diana/Hannah has reverted to the name Dianna in the 1901 census. She is still with the Hayes' family.

Hi Terry,

Thank you so much! Very impressive research. Yes it is the same family! My great grandmother is Ethel May Hayes, who I suspect is the Heathel in the 1881 census. This will fill a hole in my tree!

Thank you Terry - John Holt is my ggg grandfather so this information has been really useful. I have found a reference to Eliza Worsey married to a William Heath. Farming in 1851 - could George also be William? They are farming in Upton on Severn, which is near Birtsmorton and Berrow.
