Can someone post this for Sandy and get her to join the list so
we don't have to go on line to communicate with her?

Sandy,

Is this your family on the 1891 English census? free at
http://freecen.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl
I looked at all Hacketts in Leicestershire (10). This is the only child
Harry.
If so, his brother Dickie was a Wain, really his nephew, unless brother in
law
is really stepson, in which case, Richard and Harry are half brothers.
But, I am suggesting Dickie is not a Hackett.

Message text written by INTERNET:
>Kathy, I am searching for a Richard (Dickie) Hackett myself. However,
your Richard Hackett is a little younger than mine. I am wondering if he's
the son or grandchild of another Richard Hackett. My Richard Hackett.
Long shot, but worth asking about.

My Great Grandfather was Harry Leonard Hackett, born in Leicester, England
in 1880. He had a younger brother named Richard (Dickie). When my
G-Grandfather was approximately 12 (yes, 12), he ran away from a very
abusive home setting, taking Dickie with him. My G-Grandfather later
joined both the Royal Army & later, the Royal Navy, lying about his age to
get in. Eventually, he made his way to the US and settled in New York.
Meanwhile, Dickie was never heard from again. He was last known to be in
England.

I am wondering who your Richard Hackett's father and grandfather are, or
where he was from. Possibly we have a link here? Again, it's a long shot,
but I know how males in the family are often named after their fathers and
grandfathers.
