I am looking for further information about any of the following (or all). They may be separate families but I suspect, and hope, that they may be related. The first GALEY was a convict who was transported to New South Wales, Australia - details below: Name: GALEY, George Age: 19 Occupation: Brass founder Ship: Earl Grey 2 Year: 1838 Birth Place: Birmingham, England The second GALEY was married to a George GALEY and she died in 1846 The third GALEY was Robert GALEY who married Agnes MACDONALD in 1884 in New South Wales, Australia The fourth GALEY (my wife's ancestor) could have been born in Australia circa 1839 or 1844. George Bishop GALEY arrived in New Zealand in 1850 - death certificate date In 1863 he was in New Zealand He applied for a miners right in Wollongong, NSW, Australia on the 1 January 1872 By 1875 he was back in New Zealand where he married Ellen STENT and raised the usual large family in Takaka, Golden Bay, New Zealand and doesn't appear to have left New Zealand again. (I would also be interested in making contact with any descendants of George Bishop and Ellen GALEY who may be now in Australia.) I would be very grateful to receive any information about any of these people mentioned above. Jim Jim & Bev Payne NEW ZEALAND [email protected]
