Dooley/Titterton family and the Irish connection

[Claire R]

Hi again. I have a subscription to Ancestry so I just did a very quick search on there. The last 5 generations of Dooleys I listed were all from the village of Great Longstone in Derbyshire. I think Henry may have been the schoolmaster. As you don’t have Ancestry, I suggest you google “Dooleys of Great Longstone, Derbyshire”. That picked up an old history book which mentioned the Dooleys, some church records, and other people interested in tracing those Dooley roots (including someone interested in the Irish connection). There was also a link to WikiTree (you can join this for free) and I suggest you could message the owner of that Dooley profile and ask for information. I have the Titterton tree fairly complete but I’m not so sure of the Dooley tree as he was an in-law and a distant relation.

Same caveats apply to WikiTree as with trees on other sites. There are plenty of errors.

Thank you.  This is very helpful.

Oh yes, I wasn’t suggesting that the OP simply copies information from WikiTree (or Ancestry for that matter!). But there is a page set up for one of the Dooley ancestors from Great Longstone. I’m suggesting that the OP contacts the individual listed as the owner of that page and asks for the information he has and his sources to see if there might be a connection.  In fact the church records are listed as a source for that page.
