Samuel Lawley (of west bromwich, England?)

a_heeley1 — 2012-05-07 14:54:09Z

I have been researching my family history over the past few days, and have had tremendous success with the research on my fathers side but I am struggling to get any further on my mothers side. I was wandering if anyone would know any information regarding Samuel Lawley? All I know so far is that he married Florence briscoe in 1936 in west bromwich and had a son Kenneth Samuel Lawley born 1939, who just so happens to be my grandfather. Any information about Samuels parents would be much appreciated

Henry J Lawley and Susan Morris were my 3rd Great Grandparents. Their Son John Dennis Lawley and his Wife Beatrice Bellzora Wooten were My second Greats. Then came John Donald Lawley and his wife Susan Belle Tripp Parents of my Grandfather Floy Newton Lawley who Married Elsie May Morris. I got all this from hard work. I barely knew my Grandfather. I was 9 when he died. My grandmother never spoke much about family stuff.

Look forward to hearing from you

Mrs.Harford,
According to information I learned for the first time several years ago on Family Search, Elijah Lawley was my gr-gr-grandfather, John Lawley was my gr-gr-gr-grandfather. I know definitely Issac Baker Lawley was my gr-grandfather (buried in Miss.) Elijah and john are buried in Moore Cemetery, McCalla, Jefferson County AL (Alabama Cemetery records). I have not visited their graves, yet. I have the same birth and death dates for John as you.I do not know a Christopher Lawley.
Thanks, J. Lawley

John LAWLEY born 1814 Stokesay Shropshire, son of John LAWLEY & Eleanor TANTRUM, thought to have married Jane MATTHEWS in 1844. John & Jane had at least 4 children including Eliza, Joseph, John & Jane. Hoping to exchange information on this line of Lawleys. Our particular line descends from John & Jane's son Joseph born 1852 Hopesay Shropshire, married Jane POWELL IN 1882.

Re: Joseph LAWLEY & Jane POWELL, Shropshire

chrislawley1 — 2009-10-21 04:28:34Z

Sorry I realise my last reply may be confusing ..my greatgrand father moved from Shropshire as he gained an apprenticeship in a butchers in Bangor in Northwales. The story my father told me was that he had 2 days off work and took a trip on the train to chester boarding in a pub/Inn on the townhall square of Chester because its was and was till called recently The Shropshire. Working there was a girl he took a liking to and when he left promised he would return to see here which he did and married her, she was my greatgrandmother and that is the reason for the Lawley family connection in Chester, the railway in Chester on the main holyhead line was where a number of men found work including my grandfather and his brothers. and thats how I was born a Cestrian and as I said there is definitely a Shropshire connection

Re: Joseph LAWLEY & Jane POWELL, Shropshire

chrislawley1 — 2009-10-21 04:08:24Z

Thank you for your reply Iknow from Northwales it was transient work which brought the family to Chester originating from Shropshire my Grandfather fought in the first world war in the cavalry and his family had railway connections though it appears the Lawley family name definitely has its origons from Shropshire where there is a hill and villge whith the name Lawley. As I understand during the industrialisation of the country Lawley family moved towards the midlands where the is more occurrences of the Lawley name though that is a different branch from my grand fathers who moved and married in Chester But I love to hear any more information that you have

Re: Joseph LAWLEY & Jane POWELL, Shropshire

rmgaris — 2009-10-21 03:40:21Z

Hi chrislawley1, I'm sorry we can't help you at this stage as we're also just starting our Lawley research. Our Lawleys were blacksmiths in Shropshire over three generations that we know of, including John Lawley, b. 1785 Grinshill, John Lawley b. 1814 Stokesay, and Joseph Lawley b. 1852-54 Hopesay. I can't find any Lawleys in Wales in our BD&M charts but if I do in the course of our research, I'll let you know.
Regards, rmg1901

Im related to the Lawley's from Shelby County, I traced it back to John Jackson Lawley who is buried there in Shelby County, Al. There is actually a whole cemetery there called Lawley Cemetery next to a church called lawley chapel. I've visited a few times and have pics of the place on my profile. Seems like I remember seeing a henry lawley there.

Re: The name Lawley

winsvinod — 2008-10-22 16:56:30Z

Dear Sir,
This may sound silly but I am trying to locate someone who is related with last name Lawley who was a Missionary, Preacher and lived in India aound late 1800's and early 1900's in Waltair-Bhimli (in the State of modern day Andhra Pradesh) and Paralakemedi-Berhampur in (modern day Orissa).

My grandfather was named Lawley (His full name was Mahendra Lawley) and I believe it might have been done to remember this Lawley who came from England to preach the gospel.

I understand it is tedious and long as there are many people with their lastnames being "Lawley." It is like trying to find a needle in a haystack but if someone remembers if their grandparents were in India a that time and connected with the church.

Thank you. God bless you the Lawleys in the UK.
In His service,
Winston Kumar/Mahanti

I am basically looking for some family that live good clean lives and are interested in the same. I haven't been able to introduce my kids to any family on my side except for my mother. She lives in Alabama with all of the Lawleys. She was once married to my father and he is my connection to the Lawley family...Richard Lawley.

Laura Catherine Lawley is my great grand aunt. I am descended from her
sister, Sarahann Caroline Lawley, born in Mississippi 15 March 1848.
There were 13 children according to my research, and Laura was the last
child born. I have no information about her descendants, but comlete information
on Sarahann's.

Their parents were William A Lawley, b. 15 July 1807, m. 19 May 1836 in
Tuscaloosa Co, AL to Sarah A Tindall. She was b. 25 July 1822 and died in 1887.
William died 10 July 1871.

I have William's parents, and the birth dates of all the children. Let me
know what you need.
