I believe that makes your wife my dad's second cousin? Her dad was my my granddad's cousin, and shared the same name. How and when did she end up in Canada? I believe most of her Chorley relatives would have been based in London.

I've just been trying to collate mine and the info here into a family tree, so I can picture what is going on. It is really interesting to see how we are connected, especially to William Paramore and some to their son Francis. Recently we went to have a look around Wilveliscombe and the Chorley Farm. There wasn't much sign of Chorley's in the church yard, though a couple of mentions inside the church. I think our next trip will be to Exton, and maybe to Triscombe to see the farm that Francis must have owned. If we find anything, we'll post up pictures.

Anyone got any other suggestions?

Hi Jane,

I'm only just starting to look into this myself, so I'm not clear what the story is yet, but I think Francis Chorley got married in Exton, I think that is also where William and Mary baptised their kids, at least.

http://www.wsom.org.uk/Parreg.html

My best guess is William (born c1770) and Mary married in Wiveliscombe and baptised there kids:

William     Chorley     William/Mary     Exton     Farmer     26     4     1813     born 7.6.1798
Jane    Chorley    William/Mary    Exton    Farmer    26    4    1813    born 16.1.1801
Harriot    Chorley    William/Mary    Exton    Farmer    26    4    1813    born 31.5.1802
Francis    Chorley    William/Mary    Exton    Farmer    26    4    1813    born 12.7.1803
Robert    Chorley    William/Mary    Exton    Farmer    26    4    1813    born 28.2.1805
Anne    Chorley    William/Mary    Exton    Farmer    26    4    1813    born 26.9.1807

..in Exton. My next best guess is that Francis son of William married Eliza Ward Paramore in 1839, to which we get William Paramore Chorley born 1841. William Paramore begat Robert Thomas Percical Chorley who begat Albert Leonard Lovebond Chorley who is my granddad.

So it seems, if I'm right, I may be related to William and Mary Chorley, so the next question is, who is this William's parents? Maybe William and Joan?

Got to go to work, but I'll keep looking.

I found there is a Chorley's Farm in Wilveliscombe, its beautiful! And its for sale at the moment. If I had the £700,000 I'd buy it!

Hi, I don't know if anyone will read this because this thread in quite old.

I've just made a connection with someone who has figured out our joint relative to be a William Paramore Chorley, 1841. William Paramore was apparently born in Exton, Somerset. Willam Paramore's father however, Francis Chorley, 1803, may have been born in Wiveliscombe because his father, William Chorley, 1771 was born and married (Mary Widlake/Wedlake) in Wiveliscombe as had his father William Chorley, who married Joan in Wiveliscombe in 28/8/1770.

So if this is all correct then there are at least two William Chorleys and possibly a Francis Chorley from Wiveliscombe and a William Paramore Chorley (my great great granddad), along with brothers Robert and Francis, born in Exton.

If that is any help then please let me know. I would desperately like to find out more about the Chorleys from this area, since it seems this is were my line of Chorleys comes from.

Our Chorleys eventually move to south east london, however, ironically my Granddad joined the army and posted to the Somerset Light Infantry, back down in Taunton!
