Hi again, Sandy,
Nice to hear from you again, and thanks for those remarks!
We had our 39th Cambridge Beer Festival here in late May, and I always make a bee-line for the man with the stall who sells books that deal with Brewers.  This time I picked up a copy of the second edition of "Brewed in Northants" by Mike Brown, and pages 196-200 have lots of lovely detail about DULLEY's.
By the by, there was also a good pictorial history (which I couldn't help buying as well) of the WETHERED brewing family by a former employer, David Evans, which came out only last year, 2011.  My great-grandmother married into this WETHERED family in 1897...
very best wishes, keith

Dear all,

I have had personal message exchanges with Ian and Prue, but I thought I would post this response more generally on this thread.

The photo of William Dulley is an original from my daughter's mother, that I have temporarily borrowed. On the back is handwritten in ink "Grandfather Wm Dulley" in the handwriting of Constance Cook. The printed notice on the back says "Negatives kept - Copies can always de had", and gives the photographer as "T. Miller" at an address that looks like "7 Kilke White Street, Nottingham". I am inclined to date it to the 1860s as well, but maybe with this information photo buffs can be more precise.

Secondly, with this I have a photo of his wife, Sarah Dulley (nee Mee) (1809-1863) (attached), which must date from before 1863, when she died in June 1863, aged 54. On the back of the photo is the number written in pencil 4107, and the writing in ink "Grandmother Dulley (nee Mee)" and the printed emblem of the photographer - "C.T. Newcombe" at "109 Regent St., W" "and at 135 Fenchurch St., City" (presumably in London.


Do any of you have further thoughts on these?

regards,

Vincent

Just reading about the DULLEY family, and although they are not my family I was passed to me a picture of the grave of James Dulley - died 1900........
This is the grave stone we saw in the churchyard above Menton.  1900 aged 59 years
Menton is on the border with Italy along the french coast.
Of anyone wants a copy, I am pleased to send it to them
It might just solve a mystery as to where he died for some of you folks

Thank you for this on the gravestone of Catherine Mary Dulley in 1900. It perhaps explains why James Dulley has so far not been located in the 1901 Census in England. In the 1911 Census, however, James DULLEY (69) widowed (born in Wellingborough) Director of Brewery, was recorded with his son, James DULLEY junior (34) (single) Professional Brewer (born in Wellingborough) and 2 servants at The Gubbs, St. Mary’s Road, Leicester. He still seems to have been around in the 1920s, but I had it that James Henry DULLEY died on October 1, 1928, but I do not know where.

Just by way of confirmation re the death of Catherine Dulley:

Northampton Mercury 28 December 1900

DULLEY - On the 22nd Dec, at Mentone, Mary, wife of James Dulley. of East Farndon Hall Market Harborough, aged 52. The only intimation

Directly above that is this one:

CHANDLEY  -On the 22nd inst.at Mentone, France, Bertha Caroline wife of Wilson Chandley, Buxton. Derbyshire, and daughter of Henry H. Green. Felmersham, Beds.

It looks like they may have did in the same incident.

There is an article in The Mercury dated 5th October 1928 of James Dulley age 86 who died in Leicester the last male member of William Dulley who founded the brewery. It is interesting reading.

Goodness I didn't realise it would bring such results, finding the gravestone of Catherine, James's wife, in France.
Many thanks to all
