Hello Margaret,

I was hunting through the message boards for the name Tilley and came across your post.

My gg grandfather was born in Uley in approx 1795 his name was Joseph Tilley. I have a marriage cert from 1851 stating that he was widowed when he married Margaret Hounsell Workman. In the 1841 census records his mother is living with him in Dursley, her name was Hannah.

Up until now I have not found out who his father was or if he had any siblings. There are quite a few Tilley's that were born in Uley and I am sure that he must have had siblings, also I cannot find his first wife or if he had children.

Do you have any information that you could share with me as I have hit a brick wall. How far back does your family bible go?

Would be great to hear back from you.

Kind regards,

Sue Sinclair (nee Tilley)
