Hi Michael & Jerry -- Found this on the web. Perhaps the family was English and they moved to ( implanted in) Ireland. (?) Jean. Name forms Halley, Hally, Hauley, Hauly, Hawley, Hawly Origin English: 1) derived from the Old English words "halig" and "leah", meaning holy and wood. The name was given to those who came from Hawley, a place in Kent, England, which was most probably so named because it was once the location of a hallowed grove. 2) derived from the Old English word "h(e)all", meaning either manor or stone. The name was given to those who came from Hawley, a place in Hampshire, England. 3) derived from the Old Norse word "haugr" and the Old English word "leah", meaning mound and wood. The name was given to those who came from a place that no longer exists called Hawley, near Sheffield, England. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, January 15, 2007 7:39 PM Subject: Re: [IRISH-AMER] Ó hAilche of Tipperary / Hawley Thanks, Michael. Happy to see that the Mulhall option has been eliminated. Plenty of options still remaining, though. Too many, and all based on mere supposition. <snip>
