Surnames: Puley, Pooley, Oke, Oak
I am researching Philip Puley (Puly, Pooley, Pully) who was born about 1790 in Devon, England and who died in 1883 in Victoria County, Ontario. He was married to Christiane Oak/Oke (born about 1806 in Devon and died 1884 in Victoria County, Ontario). They came to Canada circa 1850 and settled in Victoria County. They had six children: Thomas, Grace, Walter, Elizabeth, Philip, Maria, Henry and John. I believe that Philip may have also had children from a previous marriage to Martha Badcock. I have records for three of these children: William, Ann and Mary. I believe that at least one of these children came to Canada with Philip and Christiane. I am looking to connect with other researchers who are interested in this family and am willing to share what I know about them.

I believe Philip Puley may be the father of my gg grandmother, Elizabeth Puley James. According to the 1871 census, Elizabeth and two of her children made their home with William Puley in Bowmanville after the death of Elizabeth's husband, William James. William Puley is probably the son of Philip Puley and his first wife, Martha Badcock. I would love to share information.

I am descended from the POOLEY/POOLY family of Darlington Township, Durham County, and of course I have come across Philip PULEY in my research. If I'm not mistaken, one of the PULEYs raised a child whose name had been EVERSON. I'm also descended from EVERSONs, so I'd like to share notes with all of you PULEY people. Thanks.

Philip Puley was the grandfather of my grandmother, Edith Puley. Edith had a sister, Alta, and a brother John Puley. John was in the first world war, an officer, and afterwards worked in the war compensation office in Toronto. He was murdered by a disgruntled customer...I believe he was hit on the head with an axe. His wife was Mary and they had two children, a son and a daughter. The daughter was a singer with Leslie Bell singers, and the son, John, had two girls, one of whom , became Martha , well known as Martha of Martha and the muffins. She had changed her name from Martha Puley to Martha Johnson. That name change upset my grandfather a great deal. My grandmother Edith, married Walter Edward Lionel Llewellyn Stevenson, and had one daughter, Verna, who married Woodrow Junkin in 1938. Questions , if any may be addressed to Shirley Junkin ...ochrejoe@sympatico.ca

I am quite familiar with the name Nevison, and others... and also with the Oke name. Pooley is a corruption of the Puley name, and Oak is a corruption of the Oke name.

Hi Kaipix - Philip Puley is my 3rd great grandfather. I am also researching this branch of the family. My research so far indicates he was the son of John Pooly and Elizabeth and christened 17 Oct 1790 in Bradworthy, Devon, England. What else have you found out about him? Thanks, Heather Takahashi (daughter of Shirley Junkin aka "ochrejoe" above)
