I'm very pleased to hear from a descendant of John William Whalley. He has been one of my favorite Whalleys since I found a biography of him ("Portrait and Biographical Record of Portland and Vicinity, Oregon", Chapman Publishing Co., Chicago, 1903, p 61 (Vancouver, WA, Public Library)). You can read this biography on my web site, http://home.pacifier.com/~wwhalley/. Follow the links Whalley data and Famous and Infamous Whalleys to John William Whalley. J. W. Whalley's brother Richard was indeed a minister. In 1881 (British census) he was Rector of Gaywood and Curate in charge of Lower Slaughter, Gloucester, England. His oldest son, Herbert Francis Edward Whalley also became a minister and was in Hawaii by 1882. That must have been a glamorous assignment. He was married in Hawaii about 1884 with Hawaiian royalty, Queen Emma present. H. F. E. Whalley's son, Clement Kinnersley Whalley, b 1885, Honolulu, Hawaii, ALSO became a minister. After living in England, he returned to Canada and died in Nova Scotia in 1945. This family really got around. I would be very interested in hearing more about the family of John William Whalley. And I hope we can somehow make the connection between this family and Edward Whalley, regicide.
