George TYLEY (1770-1835) published by on Fri, 09/12/2016 - 6:46
I am trying to identify the parents of George Tyley (also spelled Tiley). He was married to Sarah Andrews in Huntspill on 20 Jun 1805 and was buried at St. Mary's Wedmore 21 Mar 1835. He was residing in Cheddar at the time of his death. I do not know where he was born or baptized. Any assistance would be appreciated as I doubt I will be able to get across the pond to do research in person in the area.
Thanks in advance.
I found a baptism record in 4 Nov 1777 in Wedmore. I didn't see the actual page & I haven't checked Ancestry to see what they have so that may not be the one.
I had seen that and it's possible that he could have been baptized at 7 years old. Only has a name for father listed, William Tiley with no location. There is also a William Tiley baptized in 1779 at St. Mary's Wedmore with William Tiley listed as father (no mother's name) that is probably a brother to George listed in 1777 and in the record it states for the father Wm Tiley "in the barrow". Would that be Berrow ? Rowberrow ? Barrow Gurney ? I cannot find any other info on this William Tiley to see if his son George is the "correct" George TYLEY. Thanks
I think it's calculated from the burial record, age 65 in 1835. I also found two George Tileys in Clutton, in 1767 & 1769, and Batheaston in 1779. They're on FreeReg.
Yes, the burial record indicates he was 65 (died 1835) and on his grave marker it lists his age at death as 65. I understand that it is not definitive, but it is all I have to go on. He is buried with his wife Sarah who died in 1859. A daughter Susanna who died in 1831 is also buried at St. Mary's Wedmore. Both of their burial records also list their ages at death which I believe to be correct.
There is still an area in Cheddar called "The Barrows" so it does seem likely that as George died in Cheddar this might be the same location. I believe that William TYLEY (TILEY) married a Susanna GIBBS in 1773 and as George later had a daughter called Susanna this William might be worth following up. Of course asuming that the age at death is correct George could have been born before his parents' marriage or of course it could have been a late baptism. Have you found a will for William?
Thanks Pat, I have not been able to find a will for William Tyley (Tiley) from my online searches. Hoping that there are some wills from Somerset not online yet. The William Tyley that married Susanna Gibbs is I believe the William Tiley who was burried at St. Mary's Wedmore 28 May 1816. That William and Susanna Tyley had a large family of eleven children. The more I think on it I am starting to believe that the age of death for George Tyley may be incorrect and that George was born in 1777 (not 1770) and that William and Susanna are his parents...now to prove it is another thing. Also, William Tyley (Tiley) had a sister Elizabeth Tyley who married a William Norman and their daughter Elizabeth Norman married William Champeney whose son, Charles Champeny married Sarah Tyley the daughter of George TYLEY and Sarah Andrews, and there was a William Norman (not researched by me yet) who was a witness to George TYLEY and Sarah Andrews marriage. Hope that was not too complicated, just musing out loud. Thanks to everyone who has commented so far, sometimes it takes another set of eyes.
