Good Morning: I apologize if this is a repeat, however, I am having a difficult time tracking the birth of John GALLEY, born @ Whitechapel, about 1868. I have tried joining the LONDON-L list and the Middlesex_County_UK-L lists, but am not receiving any responses to my "subscribe" e-mails. John GALLY appears on the 1871 census for Mile End, Old Town with an incorrect age, born @ Mile End, Old Town - parents John and Mary Ann GALLY. He appears on the 1881 census for Tower Hamlets as age 13, born @ Middlesex, Whitechapel - parents James and Mary Ann GULLEY. He appears on the 1891 census for Wanstead Layton as age 22, born @ Commercial Rd., London - living with wife Ellen and 1 son. He appears on the 1911 census for 8 Southwell Grove Road, Leytonstone, Essex as age 43, born @ London, Whitechapel. I am looking for a birth or baptism record for John GALLEY/GALLY born 1867 - 1869 @ Whitechapel with parents John or James and Mary Ann Any assistance would be most appreciated.

Hi Dennis It really doesn't look like he or his siblings had their births registered, with the possible exception of his younger sister, named Aner? (1881) or Hannah (1891), who could be the Johanna Galley registered in Sep 1880 in Mile End. Having researched his father further - Silvester John Galli aka James Galley, married Mary Ann Hare, 12 Sep 1866, St Jude Whitechapel (recorded as James Kelly by the clerk, but amended in 1922 by Mary Ann) - it appears that he was not born in Rome (as stated in 1891 census), but in Whitechapel as Silvester John Gally in Mar q 1847, the son of Thomas Galli and Sophia Powell. His wife's maiden name was sometimes recorded as HARE, HEARES or AYRES - which links to the brother-in-law, Frederick Ayres, in their household in 1881 and 1891. Her father was born in Germany and her mother in Ireland. The Galli family were frame makers and looking glass makers in the East End and seem to be linked into the Italian community in the early part of the 19th century. The Italian and Irish connections suggest they could have been Catholics, hence the lack of baptisms in the LMA collection on Ancestry. Catholic registers usually remain with their churches. You could try contacting St Peter's Italian Church in Clerkenwell to see if they have any records for the GALLI / GALLY / GALLEY family. Alternatively there would presumably have been Catholic churches nearer to the Commercial Road.

Hi Dennis, I have Martha Galleyof Carleton, Cambs. She married (1) Robert Howard at Little Bradley, Suffolk, (2) John Hoy, in 1781, at Grt Bradley. Witnesses Hannah Galley & Benjamin Galley. The Galleys were a prominent, that is, established, family in Carleton. Might be a good place to research. Carleton and Great Bradley are adjacent parishes but divided by the county line. Hope this helps. --- On Fri, 15/4/11, Dennis Galley <[email protected]> wrote: From: Dennis Galley <[email protected]> Subject: [Ess] John GALLEY To: [email protected] Date: Friday, 15, April, 2011, 12:59 PM Good Morning:                         I apologize if this is a repeat, however, I am having a difficult time tracking the birth of John GALLEY, born @ Whitechapel, about 1868.
