Hedley Family Search

[MELDYN]

Hi been reading with great interest the Hedley linage. My great Grandmother is Gertrude Hedley 1887 she spoke of WilliaM Hedley and he was related to me. I'm having one problem and that is linking Robert Hedley b1827 married to Ann Young and had 5 children George 1852 Jemima 1855 Samuel 1858 (who I think this is my GGrandmas father) Gertrude 1865 & Alburn. Any help would be greatly appreciated

  ps I have my Great Grandmothers Copy of Marriage Cert in front of me she married James Albert Goodwin on 28 May 1910. Gertrude was a dressmaker born Ilkiston? Nottinghanm England 1887. On my Grandmothers Birth Cert it says born Bradford England. Great Grandma emigrated to New Zealand in 1907.                 Been a long day looking and working out stuff. As for the person who said they have relatives in Australia they are correct I was born in New Zealand but have been in Aust for 31 yrs. My Grandmother passed away last June and very sadly missed at the good age of 95. She was Kathleen Crosby b1912

  Goodnight

Can anyone help me with my Hedleys? (Or to be more correct, my OH's Headleys).  His Grandmother was Isabella Hedley, born 25th March 1913 in Northumberland, to John Hedley and Mary Annie (nee Crawford). And that is about as far as I can go at the moment......

Thanks to Pat. Billie & Bo for their info on the Newburn HEDLEYS, in particular.

"1)Thomas Hedley born 1722 in Newburn married to Ruth Unlock(1743). Their children were William Hedley- 1748, John Hedley - 1749, Thomas Hedley 1750 and Joseph Hedley -1753."

This may well be the answer to our many years of searching for 'our' Thomas.(even a trip across the pond).
1) is this Thomas in anyone's tree?
2) did this Thomas marry Martha Weatherley in Chollerton 1773?
see our web page at:    http://www.hedley.ca/genealogy/text/j_g_trip/thomas_martha_marry.html
3) Is there records available to verify the information on Thomas?

Thanks to all: Hedley2  in Ontraio, Canada

Twiglets - I think I may be one of your distant relatives from Australia. My ggrandfather was Thomas Hedley, who sailed to Victoria in Australia from Canada - as per Hedley Genealogy Index Page Cht 4 - I think I am a 4th cousin of David Hedley in Canada. Like David I would like to know more information about Thomas Hedley born about 1850 - from Birtley. My husband  and I visited Northumberland last year using the Prelude section of the Hedley Genealogy Index Page as our guiding light. We visited Newburn church and found the grave plot  with 3 headstones - 1. William and Frances Hedley, 2. Three of their sons and  3. Thomas and Mary Hedley of Newburn - I am interested to find out more information about this Thomas of Newburn. Is this our Thomas of Birtley? The death dates don't seem to coincide.   I was intrigued to find the Uncle (Thomas) of William Hedley in the same grave plot. Perhaps someone may have some information about this Thomas of Birtley.
I live in Western Australia.
Thanks.

Hi, I just found out tonight that my great grandmother was a Hedley, I haven't much information except that she was Mary and her brother was Jimmy. From what I understand her mother was Lady Gordon (some kind of royalty in England?)
Apparently my grans family in England still get royalties (money) from the Government, something about my great grand mothers family inventing or patenting the rubber for Dunlop tyres and about "puffing billy" train.
But my great grand mother Mary and her parents were visiting South Africa via ship, but cut her off inheritance because she met my great grand father here and fell in love and did not want to go back with them. Apparently my great grand mother was to marry into royalty?!?
Can anyone help confirm this story?!?
Thank you
