Carole, May I ask what Hanley sites you visited and where you found them? I don't want to overlook anything. I've found that death certificates provide really helpful information. Also, if you can find out the cemetery where a relative was born, you can contact that cemetery and often learn quite a bit, including other family members who are buried in the same plot. Good luck!
