My inquiries have made derivatives of Elyea, Macelyea, Mcelrae, etc. What am I doing wrong?<br />The other side of the family has another name that I have stumped people. That name is Nokeley. That is the official spelling by the family, but when I tried to use Ancestry.com the spelling was all over the map. Nokelly, Noakly, Nokely, Noklea, etc.<br />Again, if someone could just recommend me to the right department, I will gladly not irritate you.<br />Oh, and the McElyea's landed in Pennsylvania, United States, in the 1700's.<br />The Nokeley's immigrated to Canada sometime in the late 1800's and I came across a John Stephen Nokeley (son of Thomas Nokeley and Mary Cassidy); John married a Bridget Louise Walsh (daughter of Michael Walsh and Ann Ferrell or Terrell).<br />I hope this helps.<br />If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at kemcelyea@gmail.com or call me at 1-830-980-2902 or 1-210-542-1512.Kathy Fraserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08178381440099105164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2338318699173170470.post-50588246181543054652020-11-30T14:28:13.292-06:002020-11-30T14:28:13.292-06:00Trying to track down my mother's father, born ...Trying to track down my mother's father, born in 1940, to Edith Lemon McGowan, we assume in England as she seems to believe herself to be a "crown subject"!

They may have been 'well-to-do' as they owned a lot of the property on Bangor main street/s - I remember her 'Uncle Robert'(?), who I met once, and he bequeathed her some money in his will. Interestingly and, perhaps, peculiarly, the name 'Hans' was a name passed from generation to generation of males, beginning with a 'Hance' in the mid-19th century. Indeed, in my lifetime (born 1966) there were four related 'Hans McGowan's living in Dublin! I have done some research (Hubbard is notable common surname on this island!) and I got this McGowan line back to Paisley, near Glasgow.<br />My grandmother's name was Edith Lemon McGowan, 'Lemon' being a surname dating back to another ancestor - in my research, I was charmed to see how surnames were elongated and continued on into the next century (some of my great-grandfather brothers retained their grandmother's maiden name 'Davis' into the early 20th century)carl3684https://www.blogger.com/profile/13289192210888108045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2338318699173170470.post-8925961209732959142020-11-05T05:14:00.276-06:002020-11-05T05:14:00.276-06:00My great grandfather was John Campbell Dunbar.
