Re: soley

richardwestsoley — 2008-12-17 16:12:17Z

My mother is a Soley, and we're descended from a long line of Soleys centering around Herefordshire / Worcestershire / Shropshire in England, back to about 1600. I've not found any other evidence of where they could be from before that date. As far as I know, it's either:

- A Norman name from the place name 'Subligny'
- An Anglo-Saxon name based on a word for 'hill'

As far as I can tell, most British Soleys are focussed around Worcestershire / Herefordshire and a small pocket of London.

I am looking for information regarding Sally Soley, born in 1874 in Mississippi, married Charlie Clarence Canard, Sr.

Soleys of Stourbridge

richardwestsoley — 2008-03-27 13:23:24Z

I'm researching the Soleys of Stourbridge, and have reached back as far as Richard Soley, born 1820 in Northeck, Worcestershire. I can't find any reference to this place on the Internet - he married a Gloucestershire girl (Hannah from Kempton) and after that the family settled permanently in Stourbridge. Has anyone else come across the Northeck Soley family in their tree?

Soley of Southeast Louisiana

rebelgirl23812004 — 2006-11-13 00:49:18Z

Any information would do. Mainly with Leanis Soley, he was my grandfather my mother's dad.

Soley

invisibilemissile — 2006-06-01 14:37:56Z

John Soley m. Mary Ackland c. 1835, Paddington.

Daughter Mary Ann Soley b. c. 1834 Marylebone m. Soley m. Newman m. Thomas Cox (1855, Pancras).

Thomas Cox b. c. 1828, Paddington.

Mary Ann & Thomas' children were John N. Cox (a Newman child? b. 1854, Marylebone), Emily Tryphena Cox (b. 1856 Pancras m. Prescott 1878 Bethnal Green), Thomas John Cox (b. 1858 Pancras), James Cox (b. c. 1854) & Edward Cox (b. c. 1865).

Soleys I know

2005-05-27 01:40:11Z

My branch of the Soleys comes from Transcarpathia in what is presently Slovakia. The name on my grandfather's headstone is Andrew Solea, changed to Soley. I am led to understand it was spelled Solej in "the old country."

My grandparents emigrated to Hammond, in Northwest Indiana. They had 9 sons and 4 daughters, so there are a lot of Soleys from this branch of the Soley tree.

SOLEY Family of British Columbia

2005-05-17 12:13:43Z

I am searching for anyone researching the Soley family in the Vancouver area of British Columbia.
Willing to exchange information in the hopes of filling in some of the many blanks in this part of the family tree.

I have Mary Agnes Gordon born Ottawa, Ontario 1886 married Mr. Soley, lived her life in B.C. She is buried in New Westminster, B.C.

Thanks,

Re: George T. Soley

GerryMattinson — 2005-03-26 15:54:41Z

Hi Eric,
I believe Goerge T. Soley was born on July 19, 1823 in Lower Village, Truro, Nova Scotia, the son of Captain Samuel C. Soley & Agnes (Nancy) Hamilton and I believe he died on April 2, 1885 in Liverpool, England and, as you guessed, he was a captain.
I have sources for all of these assumptions if you want to contact me directly.

KristinDonovan — 2004-10-13 06:14:02Z

I have Soley's in my family tree from Norway. John K. Soley was born in Norway in 1867, and moved to Tacoma, Washington where he died in 1950. He was married to Agnes Anderson, and they had at least seven children (Margaret, Agnes, Odin, Einar, Emel, John and Alice). If anyone has any information, or would like information from me, please let me know. Thanks!

George T. Soley

ebruff — 2003-01-25 19:33:00Z

I am doing some research on George T. Soley & Co., a shipowning, ship broking, and shipping agents company of Liverpool, England in the mid- to late- 1800's. I have discovered that George T. Soley married Eliza A (probably Ann) Fisher, daughter of John Fisher (Shipbuilder of Saint John, NB) and Eliza Ann Everett. Apparently they had ten children. Of of these children, another Eliza, married
Robert Kelley Kelley, of Yarmouth, NS and later Liverpool, England.

According to Esther Clark Wright ("Saint John Ships and their Builders") Fisher built four ships which, if I read between the lines correctly, George T. Soley commanded--the first one in 1851. GTS later became a shipowner (some ships owned jointly with his father-in-law) and later moved to Liverpool.

Robert Kelley Kelley (originally from Yarmouth, NS) and Robertson Bell were, I think, the principals of George T. Soley & Co in 1891 when they jointly owned the ship 'Ancaios' (which I am particularly interested in). I assume GTS had died by then, or at least turned over the company to Kelley and Bell. Possibly Robertson had married another of GTS's daughters but I'm only guessing at this.

Can anyone tell me anything about George T. Soley? When and where he was born (Economy, NS?), when and where he died? Whether or not he was a captain?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Yours sincerely,

Eric Ruff

jajejims — 2002-09-08 02:53:39Z

Hi Joyce... I am researching Jane A. Soley b. 1857. She married Nathan Rambo Roberts. She lived and died in the Lower Merion Twnshp., Montgomery County, PA area. I have an old obituary which states:
Jane A. Roberts. Mrs. Jane A., wife of Nathan Roberts of Greenfield Avenue, Ardmore, died last Tuesday, aged 40. She was buried this afternoon at the Lower Merion Baptist Church. Services were held at her late residence by Rev. C. Colby, pastor of the Ardmore Baptist Church. She was a daughter of Mrs. Anna Mary and late George Soley and a sister of Wm. and Nathan Soley of Bryn Mawr. She leaves a husband and eleven children to mourn their loss. One child is married, Mrs. Stern.
Someone hand-wrote that she died Feb. 17, 1903.
Jane A. Roberts is my husbands gr-gr-grandmother. One of her daughters is Deborah Ann Roberts b. 1890; m. Daniel Webster Bullock and d. 1973. Another of Jane's daughters -- referred to in the obit as Mrs. Stern; is Sadie Soley-Stern.

Still looking for information on Henry Clayton Soley

celticdiva — 2001-08-25 21:57:17Z

Still searching for information on my 2nd great grandfather Henry Clayton Soley. He was married to Emily Crane in Clarke Co., MS on March 1, 1871. I have no birth or death dates for either of them but it is rumored that H. C. Soley was born in Scotland. Their daughter, Emily Melvina Soley, b. August 11, 1881, married Joseph Narve(l) Runnels, b. June 20, 1871. The Runnels and Soley families are still in southern Mississippi in the Hattiesburg and Runnelstown areas. Any information on this family would be appreciated.

Re: soley

how are you?
I'm sorry but i've been busy and I had no continued in my search I have no new info. I know that my roots are english, I don't know where from exactly. But first I have to know more about the relatifs who left England to come to finally arrive to Spain. Maybe they stoped first in France, but i don't think so, because the few french there are called Soley are relatifs of the spanish soley who came there, i think so.
I know one of the spanish relatifs went to francea few years and then leave to USA. There are a lot of Soley's there, a lot.
If I have more info I will tell , you. I hope you'll do the same.
see u soon.
