This family is covered in more detail at www.MorleyOfHalifax.com, in a booklet outlining Lancashire and West Riding Morley families. Access is free but requires separate registration.

The numerous pedigrees mentioning "Morley of Winnington" should instead be mentioning "Morley of Wennington".

This family and other Morley families from Lonsdale and Amounderness hundreds (possible cadet lines of the Wennington branch) are featured in a booklet entitled The Morley Families of Londsdale and Amounderness, available for free at MorleyOfHalifax.com.

 

Male Morleys suspecting a connection to this family are eligible for a free Y-DNA test. Please contact the project administrator for details.
