Biography
John Exley, born 1840. Married Hannah Maria Dobby in 1861. Great-grandfather of Victor Exley. Victor’s full article (TABLE 1) records a family bible pedigree from 1840 showing John’s family.
John descends from William Exley (b.1727) through intermediate generations not yet documented (Victor’s TABLE 2 traces this descent but the scan is too poor to read the handwritten annotations). He is part of the Rawdon branch of the Exley family.
