My HARTLEY Family Tree
My HARTLEY Family Tree starts [ so far ] with two William HARTLEY families:
William HARTLEY [1] b.abt.1790, thought to have been born at Blackburn or Colne area, a Weaver later a Mechanic. I believe he was married to Betty though not confirmed. Their son John HARTLEY was b.abt.1818 at Blackburn lived in Lees Street, Ancoats [1851 Census]. Another son may have been William HARTLEY also found on the 1851 Census in Manchester.
William HARTLEY [2] b.abt.1795,
thought to have been born at Manchester, a Weaver later a Mechanic , of Bennett
Street, Ancoats area of Manchester. Married to Mary NUTTALL. In
the 1841 Census record, brothers John [b.1820] Richard [b.1825]
James [b.1830] and Henry HARTLEY [b.1835] were living
without parents at Lees Street, Ancoats. I believe their mother may have
died in the late 1830's and that their father William [and possibly Mary,
also] had been transported to Australia as convict/s.William and Mary
likely had another son named William but he was not with theother sons
on the 1841 Census record. James [aged 10] and Henry [aged
5] were next placed in the Workhouse but James escaped. James
eventually married in Manchester and emigrated to the USA in the 1870's.
Henry ltravelled to Australia in the 1840's to search for his father
but returned to Manchester and later married and lived in Pendleton, Salford.
Richard married Margaret FANNAN in 1849 and lived in Ancoats
and later Salford. I believe Richard and his son Charles
were both in Dartmoor Prison on the 1871 Census. In the 1861 Census Charles
is living at an Inn, aged 11, so had probably run away from home. Charles
was an Inmate at two other Prisons in 1881 and 1891 for Theft. Richard
was more usually employed as a Metal Planer. This side of my HARTLEY family
had links with the BURNS family [Burns sisters both married/lived
with Fredrick ENGELS of Marx/Engels fame]
John HARTLEY [b.1818] married Mary Ann DEACON
in 1842 at Manchester Cathedral.
John and Mary Ann's son, James HARTLEY [b.1854] pictured below
was
born in Ancoats, Manchester. James married Margaret HARTLEY,
the daughter of Richard HARTLEY [b.1825] and Margaret FANNAN.
Throughout the 1800's, most of the male members of the family were Iron
Workers, Engineers or Mechanics. James eventually moved to the
Collyhurst area of Manchester working in the submarine turbines industry,
moving for a few years to Derby, Derbyshire [1880's] then back to Miles
Platting, Manchester, then Chadderton, Oldham [1890's].

and in the right-hand photograph aged abt.40 in the 1920's. [see:John
William and James HARTLEY's Family Tree Chart]
In the early 1900's, they moved to the Midlands to work in the newer turbines,
aero and motor car industries.
Members of my family are now as far a field as the USA, Canada, Australia,
the Middle East and the Far East. In the UK, they can be found in Blackpool,
Manchester, Cheshire, Leeds, the North, the Midlands, London, and the
Home Counties.
