    1. Re: Robley: Wetheral, England > NSW, Australia
    2. John Ross
    3. Phil, Thanks very much for your welcome, and the overview of the group's research interests. It will be fascinating to follow the threads. A key member of my line is Christopher Robley (1787 - 1838), the one who left Wetheral for New South Wales. He left involuntarily, by the way, having been convicted in 1807 of stealing several promissory notes (value: 220 pounds), cash (1 pound 8 shillings and 6 pence), 2 silk handkerchiefs (value 1 pound 5 shillings) and 1 sheet of paper (value 1 penny). He was sentenced to be hanged, but was reprieved, with a sentence of transportation for life to the colony of New South Wales. (He arrived on 16 December 1810.) He must have behaved himself, because by 1818 he had a conditional pardon (he was a free man, but could not return to the UK, except on pain of death). By 1820 he was a Police Constable, back on the right side of the law! All this left a lovely paper trail, from contemporary newspaper reports of the trial to a whole range of convict musters, leave applications, etc. In all this, the name is spelt "Robley". It used to be a shameful thing in Australian society to have a convict in your family line. Nowadays it's trendy, and very desirable! Certainly it's great genealogically, because the authorities generated many records, most of which survive. (For example, I know that Christopher was 5' 9 1/2" tall, of ruddy complexion, with dark brown hair and hazel eyes.)

    1. Spelling Variations
    2. Douglas Detling
    3. Roblee Researchers: Having completed the task of resending (for the RootsWeb archives) all our various Roblee message from the past year, I though it would be useful to extract the various surname spellings in one list. Culling through the archives, I discovered we have used or listed 38 variations of our common surname: Alphabetically, these are: Rablee Rapalje Rapalyea Rapeleje Rapelje Rapelyea Raplee Rapple Rapplyer Rappole Rebeller Robbilliard Robblee Robbyer Robeller Roble Roblee Robler Robley Robleyer Roblie Roblyer Robolee Rubbelee Rubbelyea Rubble Rubblee Rubbler Rubelee Rubilee Rublear Rublee Rubler Rubley Rublier Rublin Rubly Rudglie Does anyone have any additions to these. I am going to try to put together a table that shows the earliest reference we have on each, with a date and location. Maybe that will help us sort this out, unless, of course, someone has already tried this. Any thoughts. Douglas Detling [email protected]

    1. Robley: Wetheral, England > NSW, Australia
    2. John Ross
    3. I have just joined this mailing list and am greatly impressed by the depth of research on your American Roblees (and variants). Perhaps my Robley information will never connect to your families, but you never know! Here is what I have, starting from 17th century England. (I apologise if the layout is non-standard. I'm new to this!) 1) Christopher Robley Born c1660 Married ? Child: WILL Baptised 17 April 1687 at Wetheral, County of Cumberland, England 2) Will Robley (c1687 - ?) Married ? 2 Children: JOSEPH Baptised 7 November 1714 at Wetheral Margaret Baptised 24 June 1723 at Wetheral 3) Joseph Robley (c1714 - ?) Married ? 7 Children: Abigail Baptised 15 March 1741 at Wetheral Mary Baptised 10 April 1743 at Wetheral John Baptised in May 1746 at Wetheral Christopher Baptised 14 March 1747. Married Mary Louthian on 7 June 1772 at Wetheral William Baptised 12 April 1750 at Wetheral Ann Baptised 28 August 1752 at Wetheral JOSEPH Baptised 1 June 1755 at Wetheral. Married Agnes Pearson 4) Joseph Robley (c 1755 - ?) and Agnes Pearson 6 Children: Ann Baptised 9 February 1783 at Wetheral Jane Baptised 22 May 1785 at Wetheral William Baptised 25 November at Wetheral CHRISTOPHER Baptised 27 February 1791 at Wetheral Married Mary Cummins 22 November 1816 in Sydney, Australia Buried 6 November 1838 in Sydney, Australia John Baptised 18 May 1794 at Wetheral Mary Baptised 12 May 1799 at Hesket in the Forest (near Wetheral) 5) Christopher Robley (c 1791 - 1838) and Mary Cummins (all children listed from here on lived in NSW, Australia) 5 Children: Mary Ann 1816 - ? JOHN Born 27 July 1818. Married Maria Brooks 6 May 1839 Died 21 January 1880 Agnes 1820 - ? Joseph 1823 - 1854 Ann 1825 - 1881 6) John Robley (1818 - 1880) and Maria Brooks 2 Children: JOHN GEORGE Born 13 September 1843. Married Isabella Ramsden 2 May 1864 Died 29 October 1931 Susanna M. 1845 - ? 7) John George Robley (1843 - 1931) and Isabella Ramsden 7 Children: Victor (1880 - 1880) Maria Ruth (1883 - 1976) John Thomas (1884 - 1884) Lyall Charles (1885 - 1885) Isabelle (1887 - 1887) Gladstone Gosford (1888 - 1889) GEORGE ANDREW Born 21 August 1890. Married Doris Tucker 24 July 1912 Died 19 January 1951 8) George Andrew Robley (1890 - 1951) and Doris Tucker 5 Children: ISABELLA Born 11 April 1913. Married Ernest Donald Ross 2 January 1943 Died 15 September 1984 Henry George (1914 - 1976) Millicent (1916 - 1977) John Keith (1919 - 198?) Wilfred Norman (Born 1923) 9) Isabella Robley and Ernest Donald Ross 3 Children: Margaret Elizabeth (Born 1943) Jennifer Doris (Born 1945) JOHN ERNEST (Born 1949) By the way, the surname has been pronounced in Australia with a short "o" sound, at least within living memory. I should say that most of the above was researched by another Australian Robley descendant, Eileen Young. Eileen has produced a book: "Christopher Robley (1787 - 1838). His Family and Descendants" (The birth year 1787 comes from all of Christopher's entries in musters, censuses and other papers once he reached NSW.). Eileen is not on the Net. You will note that the Robleys came from Wetheral (near Carlisle on the England/Scotland border). I looked in the UK White pages the other day, and there are still quite a few Robleys near Carlisle and some STILL in Wetheral! Hope this is of interest, John E. Ross Albury NSW Australia
