Hi Looking up my family but stuck!!

[katie1630]

Hi all,
  I'm looking up my mums side of the family and have only got a far as my great grandfather as, according to family stories, my great great grandfather came over from Ireland to England in the 1880's and changed his name but we have no details of what his name was before!
  He became as master mariner and resided in Bradford with his wife Emeline Goy. His name was changed to Charles Edward Hartley and they has 2 sons Harold and Herbert Hartley. Herbert Hartley-my great grandfather was born in 1900.
  I'm hoping to get advice and information on here that will help and look forward to chatting to some of yous!
  Claire, Northern Ireland

What you should do is order their marriage cert to get their fathers names & occupations and then work back from there to see if it leads you to an irish connection

katie1630,

Definitely follow Claire's advice on the marriage cert, but here is something that might give you a bit to explore while waiting.  There is a large Ancestry tree that purports to include this family (has Emmeline, but not sisters).  States that her parents were Joseph Goy and Emma Glenn.

My problem is that Emmeline is NOT with this family in 1881, so take with a grain of salt.

Hi.....

 Emmeline can be found in 1881 with Glenn grandparents in Horbling.
 RG11/3196 F 90 PAGE 10 AS Emilean G Goy age 5 so that ties the names together. Here baptism is extracted on IGI as daughter of Joseph & Emma.

 I would go for the cert to check for the fathers name at marriage as there are a couple of Charles Hartley's in the Bradford area at the right time.

 More name to add to siblings of Emmeline are ....

 Edith born 31 Jan 1833
 Ethel born 20 Jan 1884
 Annie born 27 March 1885
 Elizabeth born 5 Nov 1886
 May born 30 April 1888 all baptised on same day 24 June 1888.
 Father Joseph mother Emma at Billingborough Lincs.
