It is nice to make contact with you again. Below is an excerpt from a letter from my
deceased uncle James Hulley (born 1908 ref 467) to my sister Joan in 1977. It is about
the sum total of what I know about Hulley roots. My maternal grandparents were from
the St. Andrews area and were named Brown. My father's name was Horace Creaser
Hulley.

Excerpt of letter from James Hulley to Joan Hulley Lent Jan 20 1977
Grandpa (whom I will refer to as Dad) (ie Elkanah born 1844 ref 663) was born on
Hulley Place, in the same house I was born in, in Ashton, Lancashire. His father and
Grandfather were house builders, from away back, and their houses are outstanding in
style and quality as "mechanics cottages” of course. Mama (ie Elizabeth Creaser ref
671) was born in a valley in a mountain, called Great Orme’s Head, near Conway
shore and Llandudno, in North Wales. Her father was a fine French Polisher who was
in charge of all the furniture and woodwork in the historical buildings and town hall in
Wakefield, after he had moved to England when Mama was a girl. Mama couldn’t
speak a word of English until she was twelve years old - so you can see why her
speech had such a charming Welsh inflection. Her mother died when she was twelve
and her father remarried in England. Ma and Dad met through their church in a town
called Huddersfield (I think). It was quite a nice romance, in a north-England, Victorian
way.

Most of the Hulleys were fairly well established in that part of the world, which is why
so few ever came to America to stay. Dad brought mama and their first child, your
father Horace, to this country because his father, Elkanah, who was Dad's employer,
wouldn't pay his own sons as much as he paid his other masons.

So, although you might say they were poor when they arrived, they always seemed to
make out ok in America - always had the best food, clothes and furniture, etc.
