Keeley and Allensby of Islington, St Pancras, St Marylebone
« on: Tuesday 23 January 18 11:26 GMT (UK) »
Hi

My Great Grandfather was William Allensby Keeley (b Islington 1847) and his father my 2x G Grandfather was William (b 1816 could have been Limerick or this country, jurys out on that one).

I was doing a bit of digging around and came across a marriage between William Gillman Keeley and Elizabeth Allensby in 1852 (this was his 2nd marriage 1st wife was Caroline Verzey d 1845). In turn Elizabeth remarried in 1873 to Frederick Henry Kangiesser. She died in 1898.

I am sure that there must be some connection between William Gillman and Elizabeth and my Keeleys.  Allensby is not a common first name and I am sure there must be a link somewhere. I can't find much about them or their immediate relatives who I am fairly sure  will connect to mine.

Does anyone out there have any connections or knowledge to help.

Many thanks
Ginger

Question - is your William with William and Mary (parents) and siblings Thomas and Mary Ann in both the 1851 and 1861 Census?

William Allensby Keeley's birth was registered in the March Quarter (ie. Jan-Mar) 1847.

The William Keely baptised to William and Mary Keely on 27th Jun 1847, was born 9 May 1847, the June Qtr (ie.Apr-Jun) 1847. I have looked at the original image and am satisfied it says May, not Jan as transcribed by FindMyPast.

However, I cannot find a GRO birth registration to fit the 9 May birth?

Hi

I'm just digesting your posts....   you have made more headway in the last hour than I have in the last few years.....

Firstly, no I have never been able to confirm maiden name of Mary (Mother)

2. Thomas, Mary Ann and William Allensby are the family members shown in the censuses.

It looks like Mary Unknown is actually an Allensby.   

I use Ancestry just now will recheck although I've not been having much luck.   Now I know Mary Ann is an Allensby its opened up a new branch on my tree,

Thank you so much

Ginger

No.  The information came from a relative - I should perhaps invest.    I

I'm far from satisfied that the William Keely, parents William and Mary Ann on the '51 and '61 Census, is William Allensby Keely.

His mother is an Allensby - but you cannot speculate her given names are Mary Ann.

There's a Thomas Keely, birth registered Jun Qtr 1844, The Islington District, 3 241 - mother's maiden name Collins.

You need the birth certificate.
