Researching COLLEY family Dawley and THORPE family from Wellington. Both sides of my husbands family who are ultimately connected in his parents. THORPE family via Thomas THORPE born 1829 in Uffington, Stamford, Lincs who married Elizabeth WILLIAMS JONES in 1854 Wellington. The THORPE family prior to Thomas have a remarkable history back to the time of Henry 8th as stonemasons and back further to 1480 in Kings Cliffe in Northamptonshire. I was fortunate to find a gentleman who had researched the family and shared with me their history. The COLLEY family I have records back to 1720 Robert COLLEY of Morton Say and all the way to our family in the present.
Any information on any of this would be helpful.

Apologies printed in wrong place
Hello Bronwen
Please note that the place name in your message should read Acton Burnell (BURNELL) not Burrell. I have edited your message to avoid possible confusion in the future.

Skala, it is possible that I am related to the THORPE Family, researching my family tree I discovered a Matilda THORPE (B1857) in Uffington, Lincs. She was the daughter of Susan THORPE (C1840), the Brother of Thomas THORPE (C1829). If I have it correctly, Thomas went onto marry Elizabeth WILLIAMS JONES.
Matilda went onto marry John SMITH in 1876 in Rugby amongst there 17 children my maternal Grandmother was born, hence the connection.
If I have it right, Thomas and Susan's Father and Mother were Richard THORPE (C1779) and Mary THORPE (nee ABBOTT).
Of course I may have wrong but hopefully not.

Hi skala,
My family is through Richard's sister Ann b. 1805 Wellington
I have no direct record of his/her father Richard only 1763 from burial in Pensnett. As for birth place again from Pensnett census 1851 Stoke on T....? which I favour Tern not Trent ( ie Shropshire )
Also his wife Elizabeth Challona was perhaps the one b. 1772 Stoke on Tern so a little clue there although marriage in Madeley.
Have you a definite birth of him in 1763 and are you saying Robert 1720 is his father?
I would be interested in your thoughts as I have another couple of problems with Richard & Elizabeth.
regards
Colin
