Re: Females who married Comleys

dialcomley_1 — 2012-03-03 07:55:29Z

Just saw your post and hoping that you might have lots of answers by now.
We're descendants of William Comley & Emily Grimwood, too, and I was hoping that you could tell me where you found out that Emily was Irish.
I know who Sarah Alder's parents were but haven't traced that family back any further which is remiss of me and I must get on to it.

Hi

My name is Noel Victor Comley and Sarah Ann Alder is in my tree as is Norman Claude Frederick.

I am pushedfor time at the moment but please email me and I will send you my treet.

I think perhaps that we have had contact before but my memory is not always correct - usually it is but I use my age as an excuse when I forget the odd thing.

I met Norman Claude ... back in the 60s.

Re: Julia (Rifferts?) Comley (Comly?) born 1809 in Ohio?

NoelVictorComley — 2011-04-25 02:21:35Z

Unfortunatly I cannot assiat as, as yet,I have not located any Comley in the USA that i an related to.

Perhaps some om my ancestors spawned some descendents who went to your part of the world but so far I have only located the Australian part of the tree as well as a few still in England.

Good luck with your search.

janettephelan — 2010-12-29 23:04:21Z

Hi Noel,
I have noticed some of your messages re family research but didn't realize that you were in Melbourne. I thought that my family were the only Comleys in Melbourne. My grandfather, Albie George Comley (married to Gertrude Emma Box), emigrated from SwIndon, England, in 1911 at the age of age, with his family - parents Richard and Amelia Comley. Albie (known a George) and Emma had eight children, who each had a good number of children so there a a lot of, now spread throughout the Eastn states! I even have a brother named Noel. I have traced my family back to late 1700s in Wiltshire but hadn't been aware of anyone else emigrating to Australia. Knowing the tendency for families to go to the same area of Australua, I wonder if there's a connection that I've missed!

Yes, I indeed have more family information and would like,
very much, to compare notes with you. Have Paul Homer Comley born 23 Apr 1917 but different death date and Sabe
was first married to Ida Louise Phelps who died 05 Oct 1917
so Sabe must have married her younger sister Mina afterwards.

DNA Testing

wclaurence — 2009-11-04 02:46:13Z

Comley males,

I am writing to you today to alert you to the fall DNA sale that FamilyTreeDNA is having. Kits ordered in this sale must be paid for by Dec. 31, 2009

You can join the FamilyTreeDNA project through the Cholmondeley surname group's webpages at http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/cholmondeley/

You can order your test on-line, and pay for the test on-line using a credit card. Test kits are mailed to your home, the inside of the cheek is scrapped by a Comley male family member, and the test kit is mailed back to the lab. All very convenient.

If you have an interest in DNA testing, now would be the opportune time to get tested.

Re: Sophie or Sophia Comlie

John COMLEY and Susan BRITTAIN married in Maker - but I couldn't edit my post!

Re: Sophie or Sophia Comlie

Andrewjmead — 2009-03-25 14:29:29Z

The main COMLEYs in Cornwall started with Joseph James COMLEY (b 1843) who went to St Ives, with his wife and brother, but not until about 1870. John COMLEY (b 1807, Romsey) married Susan Brittain (b 1808, Gloucester) in 1837, but then moved to London - I have no idea why he would have been in Cornwall!
Other than these, I don't think I have found any other Cornwall COMLEYs. I don't recall anything else on my website (www.comley.org.uk) that would help with your brick wall.
COMLIE is a spelling I have not come across, and doing a search on FreeBMD, the only one that comes up is her marriage. If you haven't already done so, I would suggest checking with the register office and/or the original church register to see if the surname is correct.

Sophie or Sophia Comlie

nhunt174 — 2009-03-25 11:30:25Z

I have hit a brick wall searching for the above who apparently was born in 1818 in Mevagissey, Cornwall. She married my 2nd great grandfather George Nuttall in 1848 in Youlegrave in Derbyshire. I have the marriage certificate but Sophia's father's name was left blank. I know there were several Comley's in Cornwall but I don't know where to go to try to get any further. Any help greatfully received.

Hi Vicki

I would be interested in exhanging some information. On my family tree I have down as far as Stella May Comley (my 7th cousin once removed).

I have been exchanging information with Noel for a number of years. I assume you have visited Andrew Mead's website at www.comley.org.uk which also goes as far as Stella May (click on the Mead Gedcom).

We are all descended from John Comley c1675 and Sarah (of Great Somerford, Wilts.)
