Title: Family of George Lafolley (b.1873)
Post by: mattyboy84 on Friday 14 March 08 12:44 GMT (UK)

Hi

I am having great trouble trying to find information on my ancestors for the generations before George Lafolley.  He was born circa 1873 and was married to Celestine Du Tracte.  They had 6 children, Albert, Lillian, George, Henri (my great grandfather), John and Edward.  I have all the information for the generatinos after this but I am unsure as to whether the family name had changed from L'Affoley. 

If anyone can help me with this I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

Matt

Hi

It could well be, I could find George in the 1901 census so that's where I got his year of birth from.

I couldn't find anything on any other census.

Thanks

Matt

Hello Matt,
my name is Michael Lafolley. My father was Peter John James Lafolley. I believe his fathers name was Henry? I was looking up family history, and came across you, i believe we are related. Because my dads father was born on the isle of jersey. Any information you can give on family would be greatly appreciated. (*) is my e-mail, hope to hear back from you.
Thanks,
Mike
