Just seen that Martha Bailey married Joseph Housley on 29th Aug 1750. Both dates are in Ecclesfield. She died in 1786

Martha Bailey baptised 24th Oct 1733 in Ecclesfield. Hope that helps.

Thanks retep; every bit helps. What I want to able to do is find the blank periods when each Aunt was abroad. I know that Marie was acting in South Africa with her husband at some time and that Edith was acting in India and the family story is that she met her second husband there, but until I find the gaps in their English careers there's no point in guessing.

Edith was one of my great aunts.I have some family info on the Gompertz and quite a lot about the great Aunts and their ancestors including photographs and I am slowly building a professional (acting) picture

Hi Bluemoon, I have a lot of Housleys, and so a little more info on Susan would help me to see if she's on my tree, or at least allow me to add her to mine. I assume you have info on her immediate descendants, and siblings of hers would also help.

Hi Sorry for the long silence but my family tree is now shorter by 2 and the result has been the need for a lot of support for my wife and son and daughter in law. I've just started to pick up the family history again and would very much like to swop information as I said earlier on the Forum Gordon

Hi, I'm another Housley. What period does your info cover? I have at least 3 lines linked back to early 1700s late 1600's. It includes actresses at the turn of the last century. Happy to swop info preferably by CD. Gordon

Hi retep and all, What is the protocol for contacting to exchange info pictures etc. Do we put our emails on here or what?

Hi Housleys from another Housley in deepest Southern Hampshire. I have contact with other Housleys across the UK and have a Line goping back to several in Ecclesfield including Isaac Housley (Howsley) 1748-1823, married to Elizabeth Wright 1758-1772 and his father Joseph 1718-1803 and his wife Martha Bailey 1773-1786 and his father Joseph Housley 1688-1777 married to Susan Hurst c1690-1743. I have ended up with a list of names and would welcome more but would dearly like to know more ie what did they do for a living. All extra info most welcome and I would be happy to exchange the info I have plus photographs of more recent family (from gtgrandparents including actresses) Gordon
