Hi my name is Michelle and my mother was a Riley. Born in Farnworth Lancashire to Terence Riley and Margaret Riley. She never knew her father, and at the age of 12 came to Australia. I would like to know if any of you recognise that info and let me know. Terence past away around 1999 and I know I have uncles somewhere I'd like to know.

Cheers,
Michelle

Peter Riley my 2nd great grandfather whose census records say he was born in Ireland, married Mary Dillon in 1850 who was also from Ireland. They lived in St Helens Lancashire. There is a Farnworth near Widnes which is not far from St Helens.

My mother's father's family are Riley from Lancashire (Rochdale).
Her father was born in Rochdale, Reginald Riley. He had 8 brothers and one sister.
5 brothers died in WW1. Only 3 brothers lived past the age of 20.
I am looking for his brothers daughters. His brother was John William Riley, died 23 April 1953. He had 3 daughters. Elizabeth, born 1904 who married a William Purdy.
Hetty, born 1906 and possibly married a John Greenlees.
Annie Riley was born in 1908 and i believe married someone named Wilfred, but have no last name.
She may also have a son named Eric, but again not sure.
