Hello Robert Carley,
My ancestors also settled in Ontario Canada in the 1800s. It seems that one
of my direct ancestors was Joseph Carley (birth: 23 APR 1772 in Cornwall,
Wexford County, Ireland and Death: 5 APR 1865 in New Dublin, Ontario,
Canada).
Dean Earl Carley.
PS: Here's my family tree
Walter Carley -> Joseph Carley - > Thomas Carley -> Walter J. Carley -> Fred
Carley -> Earl Carley -> Fred E. Carley -> Dean Earl Carley (Myself)

There is a Carley's Bridge just outside Enniscorthy, in County
Wexford, Ireland.
In that location is Carley's Bridge Pottery, in operation since the
1600's (I believe). The Carleys who settled there, I believe came
from England with Cromwell circa 1640.
At some point, some of them became boat builders on the River Slaney.
My ancestors came from there around 1780-1820, and settled in Ontario,
Canada.

Quoting Jeanne Carley <jmcarley(a)comcast.net>:
Following the string of Carley responses, I have determined that
there are
two types of Carleys: those with Irish and those of English amcestry. From
my research on my husband's line, I've discovered that Carley is an
anglicized name for the Gaelic form of Carley which I can't recall right
now. It's in my records. It was anglicized so is now the same name as
the
English Carleys. When I was researching my husband's Irish
ancestors in
New
York City, many of the CArleys were born in England. (It's also
possible
that those Carleys originally came from Ireland but changed the name in
G.B.) As Cathy of Australia says, many do come from Wexford and there's a
CArleysGate there, presumably named after a Carley.
To the real point now, my husband's great-grandfather, Michael Edward
Carley, came to NY. in his 20's (born in 1850) in the 1870's and married
in
1873 Maria Catherine Fleming who had arrived here with her parents at
the
age of 9 from Laiogh (found in the Emigrant Savings Bank Records).
According to Michael's death certificate, his father was Abraham in
Ireland-- no mother mentioned. I have not been able to determine where
Michael came from and whether he had siblings or whether they traveled
with
him or later.. I think he may have come from Scotland, according to
a
ship
record, if it's his, and he may have come to NY because he had a
relative,
a
Carly, who owned a pub near the waterfront. It's still there
today as a
restaurant/pub, where we have eaten and gotten a bit of history. Nothing
to
prove they were connected in any way except yet Michael did work in
the
liquor business or restaurant business (restaurant keeper/helper),
according
to his son William's birth records. If anyone has any
information of
possible siblings or his parents in Ireland, I would appreciate knowing
it.
I doubt whether he was related to the Abraham Carley mentioned in
previous
messages. Nor do I think he was related to William Kerley of Mass
who
came
here much earlier. and was Protestant or to the Carleys of upstate
NY..
But
I could be wrong! Perhaps he had a brother who went to Australia as
others
did. Jeanne in Cape Cod
