I'm hoping someone out there knows the Linley/Lindley's of Madison Co where James Linley, who I believe is my grfather, was born March 1975 to William and Penelope Linley (spelling Linley per 1880 AR soundex) in Madison Co Prairie Twp. How can I get birth information ? I am so confused by the different spellings of Linley/Lindley as it appears some spelled both ways and from the same family. It appears the Linley's might have come from Washington Co before James was born. Does this sound familiar to anyone? James Linley, I am told died in a railroad accident when my father was very young, sometime between Nov 1907 and April 1910. I found my grmother listed as a widow in the 1910 OK Pottawatomie Co Wanette twp census. Thank you very much, Ann Linley Kloster
