The family name when in Staffordshire, England, was spelled Colclough but how it was pronounced, heaven only knows. Not long after Queen Elisabeth sent Colcloughs to Ireland the spelling became Coakley. ewhodges(a)aol.com

Message Board Post:
I am searching for records pertaining to Daniel James (possibly using James Coakley (possibly changed from Colclough)) of Andros Island in the Bahamas and the "Northern Neck" area of VA, probably Prince George County. I believe him to be the father of William Coakley (m. Mildred Sullivan) and Benjamin Coakley (m. Catherine __) who died as a result of the American Revolution. I an a descendant of Benjamin and would also like to know his wife's surname. Can you help me?
Also, is this family connected to "Sir" Vesey Colclough that you mentioned?

I am trying to trace my ancestry back to Ireland.
My name is Terence Patrick Cokley.
My original Surname was spelt " COCLOUGH" I have been told.
A " JOHN COCLOUGH" from Killarney and his wife whos maiden name was " LAURIE" from Cork arrived in Australia,and I understand that the Family disembarked in Brisbane Queensland Australia some time during the mid
1890's.
John COLCLOUGH married about 1853 to "Elizabeth late BURN formerly TEW" as
on birth certificate of William Yates COLCLOUGH b. 1857 Mill St. Hanley.
Also
J. COLCLOUGH had a grown stepson, J. LEIGH, in 1830.
Hoping for a connection somewhere.

Dear List Members,
When posting queries, it is so very helpful if you put the appropriate
information in the subject line, such as name, date if known, etc. Granted,
it must be kept to a minimum due to space, but it does help other folks on
the list know whether or not it's something that might be of particular
interest to them.
The reality is that many people receive multitudes of messages every day
from one source or another. So it is not unusual for the delete key to be
used to thin down mail, particularly when it would appear to have no
connection with that person.
So please, put a bit of information in the subject line to alert our
subscribers as to the content of the post.
If you just say "Looking for family," then it might possibly be deleted
by someone who may hold the key to a new discovery.
If a thread gets going on a topic, and the topic makes a change, then
please also reflect that change in the subject line. A lot could be missed
otherwise.
Also remember that messages can only be sent through the lists in plain
text format.
This past year has been a difficult one for many people, myself included.
Hopefully we can move ahead, make new discoveries, find family, and break
down those brick walls.
Therefore at this time, to begin the new year, I would like to open up
this first week of January to a roll call.
Please remember when responding, DO NOT just put roll call in the subject
line. You do not have to mention roll call at all, use that valuable space
for a name, location, or date if you have it.
Ok, let's post our queries!
Best Wishes and Happy Hunting,
Deah

Happy New Year everyone! As we begin a new year I thought this would be a
good time to go over a few things for the list.
If you are not sure what lists you are subscribed to, then go to Password
Central http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ and fill out the applicable
boxes for the information that you need.
When requesting information about which lists you are subscribed to, you
will quickly receive a reply naming all those lists, the address used to
post to the lists, and instructions as to how to unsubscribe from them.
Remember when sending messages, if they are sent to the -request address
they are not being posted to the list. They will only come here to me.
Addresses that contain the word "request" are only used for subscribing and
unsubscribing.
Also many times you will see a post from the message boards that is
"gatewayed" to many of the lists. A good portion of those who post to the
message boards do not subscribe to the lists. So if you reply via the list
regarding a board post, chances are good that the person you are trying to
respond to will not see your response. It is best to go to the board and
post your response there.
If by chance the person that posted does happen to also subscribe to the
list, they will still see your response.
If you wish to unsubscribe and are having problems, please do not send a
rude message to the list. It will get you unsubscribed, manually by me, but
also blocked from subscribing in the future. This is one instance when going
to Password Central is very helpful, and will save both you and me some
concern.
Or send me a note and ask for help, I don't mind a bit, and gladly will
help anyone that needs it. I realize things can be confusing at times.
Also, please know that although you don't always see me, I am here and
watching over you. If an issue arises on the list, I will take care of it
one-on-one in private with that individual or indivuals.
