It seems my investigation is getting better...

Mathew McAuley - Father
Teresa McAuley -Mother

1 -Mattie McAuley - SON
2 -Francis McAuley -SON
3 -John McAuley -SON
4 -Billy McAuley -SON
5 -Dermot McAuley -SON

6 -Essie McAuley -DAUGHTER
7 -Christina McAuley -DAUGHTER

7 more to find!

Originally there were 17 children, one died....16 lived...7 of them are above...who are the other 7?


My Grandfather DERMOT MCAULEY - was the lasy Sibling to die.

Ive been told John McAuley was the second last to die...around 1985-1995? He was the Tailor/dressmaker brother.

Each Brother had a trade...My Grandfather was the Cobbler/Carpenter.

OK found out that in the 1939-1940 Electorial Register....

Mathew McAuley             Polling MA No: 427
Christina McAuley           Polling MA No: 428
Teresa McAuley              Polling MA No: 429

Mathew McAuley Jun      Pollimg MA No: 431

I wonder who was voter 430.....hmmmm

BY my estimation...if the main Mathew or the Jun? (does that mean Junior?) is my Grandfathers Brother then the 2 women maybe other sisters?

Mattie was 43yrs old when he died in 1960 so if so...then he maybe the entry Mathew McAuley Jun as he would have been about 21-22yrs old in this electorial year...So therefore that may mean that the other Mathew McAuley is his father (and my grandfathers father)....

And so the search begins...

Looks like he was my Great Great Great Uncle...

The information I found so far...

George Digger Stanley and Annetta Chesterman were married in 1902 in London.

London and Middlesex / George "Digger" Stanley- Boxer (Romany Gypsy Family)
« on: Wednesday 18 August 10 10:58 BST (UK)  »
Hi Everyone,

Im investigating my Fathers side of the family now....

'George "Digger" Stanley' was my Great Great Uncle...Theres a bit about him on the net, but mostly his boxing career...

Like his birth and death date: 28 February 1876 – 7 March 1919
Born: Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey, England.

I recall as a child being told stories about him from my great Aunts and my Nan.

Now this is where Im stuck....

My connection is as follows:

Great Grandmother/father Aida Stanley (nee Lane) and husband Bert Stanley had 13 kids...

One of their children Sylvie Stanley is my Nan....Her son Buster is my father. (Im Karla).

Now im lost, cos Im sure either Digger Stanley was my ggrandfathers father or uncle or even brother?....

I have attached a picture of my Great Grandfather Bert...(died 28th March 1961 aged 57) and his gravestone in which my great grandmother (fat mum) Aida Stanley is also buried. (died 7th march 1993 aged 88)

Both were Romany Gypsy decent, like all the rest in the family.

Any help would be appreciated.

Ah ha...im trying all these sites, and they want damn money...and im not sure its the right information before i shell out for them....

Three things I have found that have sparked my mind....

I recall that my grandfather was called 'Dermot Francis Matthew McAuley' at his funeral, and those two middle initials keep appearing on sites...

Secondly, for the marriage to my nan...the surname 'Cooke or Bruce' is appearing, which Ive heard family members mention.

And thirdly, looks like they got married in Surrey? which is peculiar as my nan was always around the Acton (ealing district) area.

It might be an idea to search for his marriage to your grandmother to confirm his details. A cert will give their father's name's and occupations. (would help confirm, or rule out, any births you find)

I not 100% certain which corner of the junction 108 is on, but one corner has been completely re-developed. As far as I can #108 was the Flowing Tide put up to the 1970s

Ah there i hit another wall - Nan and Grandad didnt have a nice relationship at the end...And unfortunately....of their marriage they had 3 children...Mark whos now deceased, Anne-Marie whos incapable/in hospital...and my mother...whos dealing with Anne-Marie...and sick with ME/CFS.

Im the only grandchild.

My nan...harder to back check...She was an orphan bought over from Germany with 8 other brothers/sisters and all put into orphanages and names changed...So Ive been told that her german or Jewish (we dont know which) family name was translated into 'Bruce' when she was here. but she was under 5yrs old, so she never recalled any of it. And when she passed, One sister had found us all and said she had tried so hard to do the family tree but got stuck at many hurdles.

I dont even know the date of my grandparents marriage :(
