Looking for any connection to a Herbert Adey from Wolverhampton. May have married Florence. Had a son George born 1940's?

Hi Alyson.
I have an ADEY family in my tree, way back in 1851 census. They lived in Wednesfield and were keymakers & locksmiths.

Lived in Rookery Street, Wednesfield at time of 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881 and 1891 and 1901 censuses.
Here is all the info i have starting in 1851- perhaps you may recognise something.

1851:
John ADEY/1803/Wednesfield/Head/Cabinet Lockmaker
Elizabeth ADEY/1805/Bristol/Wife
William ADEY/1823/Wednesfield/Son/Cabinet Lockmaker
Benjamin ADEY/1835/Wednesfield/Son/Keymaker
Samuel ADEY/1832/Wednesfield/Son/Padlock Maker
Joseph ADEY/1840/Wednesfield/Son
Joseph GULLEY/1809/Birmingham/Bro-In-Law/Keymaker
Jane GULLEY/1806/Wednesfield/Sister
Charles GULLEY/1830/Wednesfield/Nephew

My connection is that Jane Gulley (nee ADEY) is my 3x Great Grandmother.

Here is info from censuses about some of Jane and John's other siblings:

Samuel ADEY (1832) married Julia ______ of Wednesfield, Children: Elizabeth Ann (1858), John Joshua (1860), Laura (1864), Edith Jane (1866), Rosanna(h) (1870) and Alice L (1880).

William ADEY (1824) married Eliza ________ of Wednesfield. They appear to not have had any children.

Joseph ADEY (1840) married Anne ________ of Wednesfield. Children: Elizabeth (1862), Sarah (1867), Emma (1871), John (1875), Frank (1877), Benjamin (1879) and Ann (1883).

Best Regards

Having traced my own Adey's I am now stupid enough to be trying to trace all the others. I have details regarding some of yours. Do you have any more information?

John Adey

Hi John.
That is very kind of you. Yes i have found out a few more details about my Adey ancestors- i think i can go back another generation. I have found Jane Gulley(nee. Adey) living with an Adey family in 1841 in Rookery Street. The family is a follows:

William Adey 63
Mary 64
William 30
Henry 20
Solomon 15
Joseph 75
Edward 10
Jane Gulley 30

From looking at the archives of W-ton website i have found a baptism of Jane Adey to William and Mary Adey at St. Thomas' Wednesfield on 15 Apr 1805.

As i posted in my message John Adey was Jane's brother although i can not find a baptism for him at St. Thomas'. I can gather from the records at St. Thomas' that Edward aged 10 is the illegitimate son of Elizabeth, dau of Wm and Mary. Also i think i have found Joseph Adey age 75's baptism in 1770 at St. Thomas' , if its him he is the son of John and Ann Adey.

This is all i have- if you can help me at all i would be very grateful.

Best Wishes
From Donna

Give me a couple of days to get my infomation sorted out and I'll be back in touch with you.

John

Hi, are you related to John Adey he lived as an adult in
Beaconsfield, his wife 's name was Kate. My mother in Law Louisa Adery, then Louisa Heaton-Harris was his cousin

I am also looking for info on my Wolverhampton Adeys. Grandfather Thomas Edward Adey born Dec 1904, greatgrandfather Edward Adey, his father was another Thomas I think. Thomas Edward had 2 sisters, May and Nancy. Edward Adey had a brother Albert who ran a pub. At one time they were locksmiths, in later years they apparently ran pubs.

Thanks, Alison
