I used to go out with a girl whose cousin was Lilley, the snooker player (never met him, though I still live in Hebburn).

Erm, thanks for sharing that. 

Would still be happy to hear from anyone who might link to the family grouping I have described.

With the free access week on Ancestry, I was messing around with various family surnames, and, lo and behold, up popped this very family group on a Form 30, Canadian Ocean Arrivals!

Seems Andrew, Margaret and the children, all recorded as Lillie, headed off in 1924 to Hamilton, Ontario, with intention of settling in Canada. Address going to was that of their 'cousin', a Mr Broadbent of 143 Lottridge Street (googling the address and surname brought reference of an Ernest Broadbent and Mary Wright of said address, as witnesses to a wedding, also in 1924  http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~maryc/went1924.htm).

No sign of what became of Andrew and family after 1924 though - so methinks I need to enlist help of the Canadian board.

Found them!    ;D

(ps have had to shatter someone's research in the process, though, as although they were following this family group, they had unfortunately followed totally the wrong lineage for Andrew - hopefully they take it well when they receive my email).

As the children mentioned at the start of this thread have both now passed away, Winnifred in 2000 at Windsor, Ontario and Robert only last month, at Fort Gratiot, Michigan, I thought I would update with a link to a fitting obituary, with picture, for Robert Lilley, son of Andrew, who lived to the grand age of 93:

I have just read your post. am looking into our family tree and we have Lilleys who originally came from Derbyshire (Sarah Lilley) and moved to Dudley.Sarah's brother John Thomas moved to Canada . He was married to a Caroline Mara Worthington .
Are we related? I am not sure where the connection to Canada comes from .

The Lilley grouping of this thread were descended from a line who were un Ireland from at least the early 1800s, with no known links to Derbyshire across any of the generations.
