Some of their descendants settled in Lancashire, particularly Manchester, Liverpool and Bolton but others moved to Adel, north of Leeds then to Kirkham Lancashire; Dudley, Staffordshire then to Glasgow and Sunderland.

This Family Tree has been severely corrupted by an unknown person, which has meant that I have had to delete over 200 unconnected entries. The FT is now back to its former state.

A source of recently published information has been searched for members of this family. The Manchester Poor Rate Books (PRB) 1706-1900 are now on Find my Past and 7 persons from this FT are shown on the list. The PRB contain lists of every house owner and tenant and the charges made by the Overseers of the Poor in respect of the property, (similar to the modern General Rate) payable towards the upkeep of the distruct workhouses and to supplement the income of the poorest families. The following members of this FT are shown on the PRB:
Francis Hulley c1812; Mary Ann Hulley nee Dodson b1826; John Hulley c1831; Herbert Henry Hulley b1851; Alice Hulley nee Piercy b1851; John Arthur Hulley b1859; and Richard Dodson Hulley b1862.
This shows the attraction of Manchester to the Hulleys of Derbyshire in the 19th century, many of whom obviously moved to the city seeking work and a better life for their children. There are 575 Hulley entries in the PRB, 97 of which are for members of this Family Tree.

A search of the graveyard at St Giles church Great Longstone has revealed 17 Hulley burials in 5 graves. The most interesting is for Jonathan Hulley who died in 1835 aged 84, being born in c1751. This is in the middle of a period when the registers of St Giles are missing and it is impossible to confirm his parents. A check of Bishops Transcripts - held at Lichfield Record Office - will be made to see if the missing period is covered. His wife Agnes (nee Anthony died 1836 aged 77), daughters Sarah (died 1874 aged 87) and Elizabeth (died 1879 aged 78) are also buried with Jonathan.
