Tilley family - Uley

[whiteowl]

I am trying to find the Tilley family from Uley, especially information on Hannah Grove (abt 1775, Uley) who was the mother of Joseph Tilley (born 1795, Uley).

I have a death cert for Hannah Grove which states she was the widow of William Grove (weaver).  She died in 1862 (aged 86) in Walsh's Court, Dursley and a Sarah Tilley was present at her death.

I also have the death cert for Joseph Tilley who died in 1880 at Fortfield, Dursley, it looks like an Elizabeth Whittard was present at her death. 

In 1841
Hannah Grove aged 65
Born abt 1776
Born in Gloucestershire, England living in Dursley 

Joseph Tilley aged 40  - a gardner
Elizabeth Tilley aged 60 - I think this was his 1st wife
Hannah Grove aged 65 - his mother
William Howdl aged 16  - a gardner
 

In 1851
Hannah Grove aged 74
Living in Dursley, Glos.  as a lodger with the Cross family
 
In 1861:
Hannah Grove is living in Dursley, Silver Street - Walshs Court (a widow) with her son

Joseph Tilley, head, 64, Gardener, born in Uley Gloucestershire
Margaret, wife, aged 42, (Joseph's 2nd wife born in Dursley)
Joseph has  2 daughters Rhoda and Constance,

Any help would be greatly appreciated on the Tilley's.
I have been to the Glos. records office but did not have very much time to search the records.

You will find lots of Tilleys in the Uley extractions at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountyGloucester_(N-Z).htm#U 

I've seen the surname in many PR's and BT's I've searched in the parishes below and I dare say I have their records somewhere in my files and paperwork.  If you need help from any of the parishes, give a shout - I might be able to help.

Hi Chas,

Many thanks for your help, the web pages were very useful.   

I did find a christening for a Joseph French Tilley in Uley in 1804, and a brother John French Tilley aged 3,  the mother was a Hannah Tilley, no father mentioned so I assume she was unmarried - that's if I have the correct Hannah. 

I have tried to find Hannah's marriage to William Grove but without success as yet.
