I am looking for information on Thomas Checkley, who apparently immigrated from England to the US sometime before 23/sept/1845, when he married Elizabeth Crum in Scott County, Indiana. His name on the wedding records was spelled "Chickley". By 1852 he was in Coles County, IL. His son William was born in IL in 1863 and my Grandfather, Horace Checkley, was born in Charleston, IL in 1891.
I would like to find out where said Thos. Checkley came from in England, and what year he came to America.
Any information would be appreciated.

Hello:
This is Leslie (nee Checkley)Morse Golfarb in Seattle, WA, USA. By coincidence, this week I have been researching information on the Thomas Checkley you refer to. He was my grandfather's grandfather. I found a record of his marriage to Elizabeth Crum in Scott County,Indiana on 23 Sept.,1845. His name was recorded "Thomas Chickley".
The next I found about him was from an 1855 Census (3 July, 1855) in Coles County, Illinois.
There are several records of his land purchases: 8/1/1837 in Jeffersonville, Indiana; 8/4/1852 in Illinois; 5/10/1853 in Coles County, Illinois, and others in 1863 and 1864.
What I'm hoping to find out is when he immigrated, and from whence in England. (my husband and I are travelling to England in May and it would be exciting to know where my family came from.)
I don't know where Thos. Checkley is buried, but Coles County records may be able to help.
I would be interested in any information you can provide.
