Researching OAKLEY Family in Shropshire in 1890s and earlier

[Lloydy]

In 1841 here is Peter (snr):

HO107125/3 folio 6 page 6 - Lower Bebbington, Cheshire

Mary Oakley 30 Charwoman N
Peter Oakley 9 Y
Mary Oakley 3 Y

[Lloydy]

By 1851 Peter (Snr) age 19 is still in Lower Bebbington, but a Servant for the Moore family.



To work back through the census for Jane we need to find out her maiden name, which means locating the marriage record and purchasing a copy of the marriage certificate.

Hello Pam,

Have just seen your posting, so hopefully you are still checking in. 

Have no idea if there is a connection or not, but my husband has OAKLEY within his METCALFE/HARRISON family, in the same general area as Kinnerley.  His family was in mainly in the areas between Melverley and Llanymynech, including both those villages.  I don't know much about the OAKLEYs myself, but if you e-mail me privately, I'll put you in touch with hubby's 2C1R who has much more info.  She is more directly related to our OAKLEYs than my husband, plus still lives in Salop.  Contact me at:  amheater@cogeco.ca  Please put - OAKLEY ~ Shrops - in the subject line.  I don't want to accidently delete it. 

[Hopefully you have a connection with Judy, as one of her OAKLEYs (also my husband's cousin) is a famous author of children's books.]

All the best,
Toni ~ Ontario Canada
