Nevilla, I have recently added three Ottley names to my tree. They are William Anthony Ottley who married (Mary) Francais Ollivierre on May 30, 1838 at St Georges's Cathedral, Kingstown, St Vincent. She would have been 23 yrs old or a bit older at the time. They had a daughter named Mary Francis Ottley b. 1839(I have a nice photo of her circa 1860) who in turn had a daughter with Edward Hume Ollivierre named Margaret Elizabeth Ottley b. 1867. Margaret was known as Aunt Asse (pronounced As-say) and probably took her mother's last name because her parents weren't married. (Edward later married Catherine Cephos Simmons and had nine legitimate children) Does any of this ring a bell? Where did your Ottleys come from? I'm not sure where William Ottley was from. Cheryl still searching Hazell etc...and new Bequia names being added almost every day. _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

Dear Cheryl, Just about any Ottley in the Caribbean would ring a bell, since the Ottleys went there, and worked their way down from St. Christophers (St. Kitts) Island, to Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, St. Vincent, the Grenadines, Grenada, Tobago, and in the latter 1800s Trinidad. The name William is definitely an Ottley name, as is Margaret, and Elizabeth. That William Anthony Ottley who married in 1838, would have been born sometime before 1818. There is a William Ottley (1797-1820) who was buried in St. Vincent. He was the son of Drewry Ottley (1755-1805) who was born in Antigua, and served as the President and Chief Justice of St. Vincent. Drewry's half brother was William Young Ottley (1770-1836, whose son, William Campbell was born in 1808 (info from the Diary of Mary Young, sister of Richard Ottley's second wife, from the Ottley Pedigrees from the National Library of Wales, and V. L. Oliver's "The History of the Island of Antigua.....". My tree does not have a marriage or any children listed for William Ottley (1797-1820), but William Anthony could have been his child as far as the time line. How are you related to them? We'll have to do some more research. Jim Cropper, please jump in on this. Sincerely, Nevilla E. Ottley Nneka X wrote: > Nevilla, > > I have recently added three Ottley names to my tree.
