Owen Conlley b.1869 attended school Thorpdale - his father Francis was a selector. While I have traced most of the Conlley (also spelt Conley & other derivatives) family, Owen is a bit of a mystery. He married Kate Allen at Abbotsford in Sept.1983. Both gave their usual address as Thorpdale and current address as Trafalgar. Kate's occupation is given as "dressmaker" and her father is listed as "Gentleman" of Coop Coop near St.Arnaud. Kate's mother Elizabeth (nee Allen) - had previously been married to a Henry Ord and had three children. Her husband Henry died in 1865 and she married George Allen in 1866. Kate was their only child. I can find no trace of Owen or Kate after their marriage. I note they married in a Presbyterian Church, while Owen was from a staunch Catholic family - perhaps the reason they married in Abbotsford? Has anyone come across any information on these folk? What did the description "Gentleman" denote?? Would appreciate any tidbits! ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
