Wiley-Hughes

AntrimDrummaul (Antrim)

John Dominic Wiley was born around 1804 -1808 in County Antrim and died on June 29th 1891 and is buried in St. Eug?ne Ontario Canada. He married Sarah Hughes who was born around 1810 in Belfast county Antrim and died August 27th 1894 in Buckingham, Quebec and is buried in St.Eug?ne. On December 29 1832 John married Sarah Hughes in the Roman Catholic Church in Randalstown. On the church Marriage Record it gives their address as Ballygrooby. They had 2 children born in Ireland Sarah Elizabeth February 3rd 1834 and James July 29th 1835 Sponsors for James where Daniel McCauley and Elizabeth O’Neill Baptism records for both show that they still lived in Ballgrooby.They then came to Canada sometime between August 1835 and September 1837. Records show that their 3rd child Mary was born in Prescott Township on September 9th 1837 and died on July 15th 1917 in Ottawa, Ontario and buried in Montebello Quebec with her husband Hugh Cassidy. John’s parents could be

Nathaniel Willie and Elizabeth Miller.

In Canada his name was spelled: Wiley, Willie, Wylia and is now Wylie

 

I’m looking for information regarding John and Sarah’s parents

 

Any info will be very much appreciated

There’s just one Wiley household in Griffiths Valuation for Ballygrooby in 1862. That was for a Robert Wiley who had a house, outbuildings & 7 acres of land (plot 8c). There are no Wiley households there in the 1901 census. There are 2 deaths registered in Antrim which might be for that Robert Wiley. One was for someone who lived 1828 – Oct – Dec 1878; the other 1803 – Apr – Jun 1879. You might want to see if either lived in Ballygrooby. Probably a relative if they did.

 

It might also be worth checking Drummaul RC church graveyard for any Wiley graves.
