My Great Grandparents came from the Leicestershire village of Gumley. Am interested in all information anyone is willing to share on the Jelley family of Gumley, and will trade and supply the genealogical material I already have.

Hi John,

I'm more than willing to share any info. I have got on Jelley's from Gumley. I think there are some families originally from Gumley now living in Rugby/Lutterworth area. I have trawled through the Leics. Record Office a few times and there are literally hundreds of Jelleys to sift through !!

Regards

Mark Jelley

Hi - I could use some help sorting out the Gumley Jelleys. My ancestor, George Jelley b. 8 April 1832 was the son of Samuel and Mary. He and his brother, John, married Mawby sisters from Arnesby. George married Elizabeth (Betsy) and John married Lucy. Elizabeth Jelley died in 1873. Afterward their family splintered. Her oldest son, Remus, had emmigrated with her parents, Simon and Mary Mawby, to Ohio. About 1882 the other sons, John and Walter Jelley also emmigrated. A younger sister, who was raised by one of George's sisters - Sarah Jelley - married to Richard Burnnett emigrated in 1908 with her husband, daughter, and George Jelley. George died in Michigan in 1915.
So many of the Jelleys in Gumley seemed use the same first names with no middles names that I find it difficult to separate them.

HELLO MY NAMES barbara jelley at least it was before i married. My great grandfather was William jelley, he was born in Frolesworth in 1850 is that of any use to you if so i have more info.
