Hi Wee Lassie,

I realise that this is a long time after the original post but worth a shot as I am also descended from Thomas Gelletly and Mary Howie from their Daughter Maria who married John Kennedy and their son Thomas McGowan Kennedy.  I've had zero luck so far and was wondering if you've made any progress.

Merry Christmas (well Boxing Day) and look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards.

Ricky

Hi Stan,

Would that purely be Oxley's from Somerset or elsewhere also?

Kind regards.

Hi Suz,

His middle name appears on a couple of his children's marriage certificates as Robert-Hall Oxley, John Oxley being one such child.

If I'm perfectly honest it looks more like they've just misspelt and crossed out illegitimate rather than written hall.  I know that she married an Anthony Sanderson the following year though and had several other children with him.

Kind regards.

Hi Stan,

Thanks for your reply and sorry for the delay in my reply.  Yes I have a copy of what I believe is the parish register from Find my Past, although I'm on Ancestry mainly.

Kind regards.

England / Robert Hall Oxley, born 1805 in Kirk-Leavington and Ann Oxley

PLEASE HELP! This is my first post on here.  I've been stuck for a while on the above mentioned Robert-Hall Oxley, baptised 20 Oct 1805 in Kirk-Leavington, illegitimate son of Ann Oxley.  This is particularly frustrating a s it is my direct paternal line.

From what I've read up on bastard children the clue to the father could be in the way the name is given and so in this case I'm hedging my bets that the father in this case is probably a Robert Hall.
My only problem is that I can be over picky and want to be sure that the person I add to my tree, both mother and father are correct. Please can anyone help me to be either more confident, tell me what I'm doing wrong or need to be doing. Also if anyone has any information on any 3 of the people I've mentioned it would be very gratefully appreciated.

I have pictures of his baptism if this would be of any help.

Kind regards.

Ricky O
