uglyduckling5 — 2012-05-14 21:43:47Z

I am trying to find out more about their daughter Joesphine why she was not with them in sensus in 1860. Ii do know her father was in the Civil war in 1861 but where was her mother. Did she stay with family. in 1860 she stayed with Anothiny Barhite in Cayuga Ledyard ny. She was born in Cayua I believe in venice. I know nothing of her father's family or her mother Sally or Salley's madien name. They moved to Clymer, Pa by 1870 and Joesphine Oakely married James King whose father was Alonzo king m to lydia who I also don't know Madien name, I am interested in finding out where both of these families came from. James king lived in clymer Pa with father and mother can't find grandparents. strangely there is a polly Oakley living with them as a baby. did the family know each other. Very odd. I could use help. I have gotten a generation but no leads.

Oakley family from Ireland

ellenrozsa — 2012-04-30 00:53:17Z

Which counties is surname Oakley found in? I am trying to find out where my great great grandfather John Oakley was born, circa 1845. I have no documentation on his origins other than he was born in Ireland and emigrated to Scranton and Old Forge, PA around 1870 from England with his wife, Ann Gilroy Oakley, and their baby son, David, born in England in 1869.

I think the name originated in England.

Four Oakley boys living in Plymouth, Luzerne Co. PA in 1870

ellenrozsa — 2012-04-23 19:39:12Z

While looking for records on my ancestor David Oakley of Scranton and Old Forge, PA, I found a census report from 1870 for Plymouth, in Luzerne Co. PA that listed four little boys,all surnamed Oakley, ages 5 to 13 and born in England, lviing with Isaac Wright, age 22, and Clarisa Wright, age 34 (brother and sister? aunt and nephew?). Isaac Wright is listed as a laborer, as are the three older Oakley boys, and the female is listed as "Keeping house."

I would love to know if there is any connection between these little boys and my great great grandfather John Oakley, who emigrated to the US in 1870 or 71 with his wife Anne Gilroy and their son David. They settled in Scranton and had at least three more children, all girls.

You are more than welcome to share my tree Edens tree or shoot me an email and we will get together on this.

Thanks.

BTW I have Georgia being born in 1878 between James and Artye. She married William Monroe Pairet and moved to Oklahoma. Yes his sister married one of Georgia's brothers.

Josephine Oakley King

uglyduckling5 — 2012-01-29 23:23:40Z

I am trying to find something out about my gg grandparents. Josephine Oakely married James King. There son Floyd King was born Nov.9,1875 in Farmington Township, PA. most likely tioga county pa. They had three girls and a son Fred King. I have been stopped cold from her. This onfo is from an obit on May 3,1941. My great grandfather Flyod died at the Ekland Tannery in Elkland, Tioga county PA. for a heart attack at six oclock that morning.He had a sister Mrs. Arthur Boyce i don't know her first name who lived in Webster in Rochester Ny. Grace Hawtin who lived in Aubrun Ny then and Grace Mainwaring who lived in St. Peterburg Florida. it was not known where his brother Fred resided. I don't believe the family was very close. My grandfather was Ralph Roger King. He went by his first name who married Ruth Lattimer and they Lived in Nelson, PA.Most of my ancestors come from around Tioga county PA. I just can't find a obit for either of Floyd's parents. i am not in touch with any of his siblings family. Floyd is buried at Riverside Cemetary in Osceola, PA. I don't know what to do. My grandfather never who married Alberta Kline always told my mother that he did not remember his father even though his father died when he was 26years old. I assume they did not get a long. My grandfather had a whole in his heart, and died at 50. I never meet him. My great grandmother also was related to the Kings who lived down by Jemison Creek in PA. I believe my mother said that Josephine and James may have been buried by the creek's edge. If they were not related to the Jemison King's why did they live where too. I have no more information. Perhaps some one of his sister's family is alive and have more records

Missing death

Chris_Cheetham — 2011-07-06 20:02:20Z

I am trying to find John Oakley born in Braughing, Hertfordshire in 1858. I know when he married in Lancashire, when his wife died (1897) but his trail goes cold at that point. I know from direct testimony from my grandfather that he "disappeared" from his son's life at that point but where he went and what became of him is a mystery. I can't find him in the death indices either before or after 1915 so am stumped or the 1901 or 1911 census. At 56 he was I think he was too old for WWI so I would welcome any ideas.

Hi Peter,
Great to hear from another Oakley, and thanks for the info.
I traced to your gr.grandfather John Oakley Jr. b. about 1847 in Tibenham, & wife Elizabeth, and his father John Oakley Sr. b.about 1801 in Dickeleburgh,& wife Sarah. One would think somewhere in the distant past all the Oakleys in this area would have come from the same family, but so far, I can not make any connections, but who knows.
Thanks again,

I am researching the Oakley's in a very similar area to Breckles in Norfolk. My father John Oakley was born 1902 at Bridgham, about 15 miles away, and there is a Christine Withers a daughter of my father's elder brother Walter Oakley b.1899?+- living about 3 miles away in West Wrextham. Another Oakley daughter lives in Attleborough.
My Grandparents Fredrick James Oakley B 1870 m Elizabeth Copeman, FJ Oakley was born in Forncett St Mary Tibenham (further away from Beckles) he lived for many years at West Harling, and retired and died in Great Ellingham. Any help.

Steve, it is quite a coincidence that I've stumbled onto your message here. Electra Eisenlord was the sister of my great grandfather Peter Eisenlord III. In my research, from my other cousins, I've found out that Peter's parents - Peter Eisenlord Jr & Louisa Robinson may have adopted Mary Oakley. How intertwined everything is or was back then. Do you live in Gratiot County? I could steer you to some cousins for help.

I have just been reading the information regarding the murder of Charles Perry Oakley. I believe that this man was my great-grandfather by birth. He would have been my mother's birth-grandfather. She was born to Perry Oakley and Ollie Ingram Oakley as Martha E Oakley in 1923 and her sister as well, Maggie M Oakley in 1926. They were given up for adoption in approximately 1928 after Ollie had left the home and Perry was unable to care for the young children. I have been trying to locate my mom's birth family and to learn something about them and my heritage. Any help that you might be able to give would be greatly appreciated.
