Surnames: Allely Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/mbexec/msg/5538/DYC.2ACE/426.1 Message Board Post: Hi! Just logged on to this site and looked at the message board. Think I might have photographs of these two brothers. They are amongst pile of old pictures, which I thought were part of my mother's family but could be from my father's (Edward Allely). Certainly they are WW1 uniforms, but I have no idea who the subjects are. My grandfather, Samuel Allely also served in WW1 in the Royal Irish Rifles although he was over 50 years when he enlisted. He survived and lived until 1944. My research indicates that the Allely family originated in Lincolnshire (Isle of Axholme) and South Yorkshire (Halifax and Doncaster). They were probably granted land in Ulster by Cromwell after the English Civil War. Can't prove it yet, but the names and dates all seem to match. If you are interested I'll scan the photo's and email them to you. Kate Rosenberg
