I my name is sally i have just started this family tree thing,
My Grate Gran was Called Mary Ann Manley her Brother was Parvis, now i am not sure if this could be you family as it seems they married in to the Manley's later on , but My uncle who is in his 80s said that some relations to the Manley's were in the US, AND THE YOUNG MAN WALKED THE HORSES DOWN TO A RIVER,. THEN A MAN THAT HAD SHEEP ASKED HIM WHAT HE WAS DOING IN HIS STREAM, THEY STARTED ROWING THEN THE YOUNG TRAVELLER MAN GOT SHOT,
I HAVE ALSO SEEN ON A SHIP RECORD FROM NEW YORK IN ABOUT THE 1880+ I WILL CHECK TO BE SURE, THAT A HENRY MANLY AGE 30 HORES DEALER RETURNED FROM THE US,
 IT ALL SOUNDS ABOUT THE SAME TIME, THERE MAY BE SOMETHING IN IT.
IT SOUNDS LIKE HENRY WAS BROTHER TO PARVIS AND MARYANN AS THERE DAD WAS HENRY , HOPE THIS HELPS

FORGOT TO ADD, I WAS THINKING THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD RESON TO LEAVE THE U.S.

[Gypsy123]

I have Henry Manley married Matilda Wells on June 7th 1847 Bridport, their son Charles Manley married Sarah Hughes in Offwell onSept 16th 1891, the witnesses were Leonard Hughes and Patience Orchard.

(I actually posted about them before on another thread about the Manleys.)

Amazing how all these families were sort of inter-related.  They are my partner's family really but quite fascinating!

Matilder and Henry are my Grate Grate gran parents, i have been wondering what her maiden name was, thank you, i no she had relations in the U.S, but i thought that was Manleys,

Hi everyone, I have just started researching my mother's family and have discovered this website. My great grandparents were Powers Manley & Britannia Roberts and Leonard Small & Laura Penfold. Any info to share would be great.
