WHALEY Family History
This interesting surname is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and is a locational name from Whalley in Lancashire or Whaley in Derbyshire. The place in Lancashire was recorded as "Hwaelleage" in the 798 Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, and as "Wallei" in the Domesday Book of 1086, and the place in Derbyshire was recorded as "Walley" in the 1230 Pipe Rolls. Both places share the same meaning and derivation, which is from the Olde English pre 7th Century "hwealf", vault, arch, hill, with "leah", wood, clearing; hence "clearing by a hill".Select Audience

Grant Koropatnick
Hello to the Whaley tribe. ???My name is
Grant Koropatnick and my triple great grandfather was Isaac Whaley. He was born in the year 1821 in Ireland. Died 1888.
He is buried in Gladstone Cemetery, Town of Gladstone, Manitoba,
Canada. He left Ireland and emigrated to
Canada in 1870. I have no other records
or information about his life. Can anyone tell me more about
his Irish ancestry? I would
appreciate some help. With thanks,
Grant Koropatnick, Winnipeg, MB, Canada
