This family tree (reference Lancs01) covers all descendants of Robart Hullie (Hulley/Hully) who was living c. 1585 in Dukinfield, Cheshire although all his children were baptised, and he and his widow were buried, in St Michael's church Ashton under Lyne. This is just across the River Tame from Dukinfield. I have yet to prove a direct relationship between the Hulley families on this tree and those of Macclesfield and Rainow in Cheshire. I have family trees covering these latter families which go back to 1450 and beyond and will be adding them to this web site. In the meantime, all enquiries should be directed to my e-mail address. Lancs01 covers many Hulley descendants, including George (born 1774) and Hannah Hulley and their 8 children who emigrated to the New World in 1832; their tree is shown in the America section. It also shows my own direct ancestors who left the Ashton under Lyne area in 1801 and moved to Radcliffe near Manchester in 1850 via Outwood and Unsworth. There are other Hulley generations in the Ashton under Lyne district of Lancashire and the Saddleworth district of Yorkshire who are shown on other trees on this web site. Others will appear on newly compiled trees in the future.

I would like to extend a warm welcome to Jan Herbert of Killcare, on the east coat of Australia. Jan is related to the Hulley family of Radcliffe through Eleanor Hulley born 1859, who married Henry Partington. After Henry had died in 1909, Eleanor and son Frederick emigrated to Australia where she died in 1963. Frederick married a former Radcliffe girl Eveline Kirkman who had also emigrated and they had 2 sons and 4 daughters, one of whom (Ethel) Mary married Clive M. Dent who in turn had 2 daughters Janette and Lynette. Jan married Dr. Richard D. Herbert and they currently live in Killcare. Jan has provided details of the link from Eleanor Hulley to herself and Richard, which are now shown on this tree.
I have discovered further details about several members of this tree as follows:
The 1891 census entry for Silvester Hulley (born 1855) - at Manchester Road Walkden;
His date of death - Mar quarter 1927;
His wife Elizabeth's (nee Openshaw) date of death - Mar quarter 1926;
Emily Hulley's (nee Groves) date of death - Dec quarter 1924;
Emily and her parents John and Alice Groves in the 1851 census - living at Back o' th' Barn, Potter's Row, Radcliffe Hall. This was probably the Tithe barn which is still there!;
Patience Hulley's (nee Lever) date of death - Dec quarter 1942.
I have searched without success for the 1891 census entry for Sarah Ellen Hulley born 1879, daughter of Silvester and his first wife Dorcas. She may have been in an institution at this time because she re-appears with her family in 1901 but is then described as an imbecile. I have also searched for her death entry up to 1945 again without success. Could she have been cured and married after 1901?
Welcome to another researcher Cynthia Morton who is a is descendant of Samuel Hulley born 1858. Cynthia has provide some details of Samuel's family which are now on the family tree.
