Hi everyone, I just wanted to say a big 'thank you' to Dianne and Dick for their invaluable help in helping me with my query on the above person. They both must have worked so hard to find out all the information - I really appreciate their help. I can now enter a lot more information onto my tree and some puzzles have been solved - and yet other puzzles have arisen! My query has also produced two emails from other parties interested in the Galley family so we are now working to see if there is a connection. Thanks to Kevan too for your comments. Yes, Marks Road featured a lot in our family. It seems various members of the family lived along the road, moving houses occasionally but staying in Marks Road, and they more often than not married neighbours! My great grandparents used to have a sweet shop down there. Once again listers, thank you for your help. Kind regards Diana Re: I have William John Galley born 18 Jun 1878 in Romford, Essex. On his marriage certificate to Annie Mundy on 24 Oct 1896 at St Andrew's Church, Romford, Essex he has a stepfather named as John Everington. I have no details of this John Everington, William's mother, or where they all lived on the census prior to 1901 when I have William and his wife Annie in Marks Road, Romford. Can anyone shed any more light on this ancestor for me?
