I'm new to this list and just posting my interests - Thomas WILEY b1799, d1881 Ballinakill, Abbeyleix married Elizabeth WILLS b1798, d1887 Ballinakill, Abbeyleix in 1825 at Ballinakill. Believe parents of Thomas WILEY are Jacob WILEY and Jane ?. I don't know any more on Elizabeth WILLS. Children of Thomas & Elizabeth WILEY - Catherine WILEY born between 1831 - 1841 ? Thomas WILEY Aaron WILEY John WILEY Jane WILEY Sarah WILEY Hannah WILEY Catherine WILEY left Ireland and married George BESSANT in 1856 at Binstead, Isle of Wight, England. They stayed on the Isle of Wight and had 8 children. Catherine & George are my gt gt grandparents. Did Catherine come to England on her own or with brothers / sisters? Anyone else have WILEY's on their tree please? Carol
