To find connections on here....look for names in 'search all member trees'....use the 'search' button at top right

Hardly anyone uses these boards and the chances of someone connected seeing your post are virtually zero

What are you asking for?

Are you hoping to make contact with living Aleys?

Or are you wanting to trace their ancestry?
If the latter, please give us some names and dates to work with, and we'll try to help.

For instance, there's this family in 1911:

Street Address Marchs Cottages, Biller Lane, Hornchurch
Marital Status Married

Is that family the correct one?

By googling I found various things about this family. Including a query on Genes by ‘Chris’ in 2014.
ChrisA53 you could search for posts on the Aley family by using the search option on the right.
( I’m on a iPad so it is difficult to post the direct link).
