Gerald (Jess) Varleyjess@paymentsontime.net.  My Grandfather was William Varley.   I have collected some information regarding my family that will be posted here in the future.  I have visited Norwich many times and have tried to contact relatives.  I now live in Canada but keep in close contact with my sister.  As I was adopted I did not meet my sister until I was 27 years old and it is very important to me to trace my family. I would really like to hear from anyone who can give me information.  (2/99)
Roy VARLEY, rv@merlinvest.co.uk    I was born West Kirby, Wirral, Merseyside, UK 1951.   My Father is Richard Walter Varley, b. Isle Of Man UK, 1859, d. Liverpool 1939. I have not been able to trace further back than this.  If any one has any additional information I would be grateful(6/98)
Dr. Mike VARLEY MAVarley@compuserve.com    My great Grandfather was from Iowa, but earlier than this my family originated from Yorkshire England.  We believe the family name to be a corruption of Verley from a 1500's family based in a place of the same name in Picardy, Northern France.   Great Granny VARLEY was brought up as a teenager out on the Great Plains in the United States and grew up shooting Indians, so when she came back to England she apparently had great difficulty in settling back to a more sedate way of life, making life h--e--double--L for the local lads.  She eventually married and had about 10 children.  She is still working on the family story, so if you have anything to share or would like to know more about us, let me hear from you.  (6/98)

Valerie Tomlinson,  tomlinsn@intertech.net.au.  If my information is correct I am the grand-daughter of Ernest Henry VARLEY (1881-1926).   The story has come to light that Ernest's parents emigrated to America, leaving Ernest in England, U.K. adopted by a Mr & Mrs Day.  Ernest served in the Royal Artillary 86th brigade, under his adopted name of Ernest Henry Day, and saw military service in the Boar Ware in South Africa, and the first great war in France.  He suffered war wounds from shrapnell and it is believed that these attributed to his early death at 45years of age.   He married Isobella Emma CHALKLEY and they lived at Dalton Street and Sandpit Lane, St.Albans, Hertfordshire, England, U.K.   They had seven children Ernest Henry 15/7/1906-1994, Kenneth Stanley 3/9/1911-19/8/1980, Gwendoline, Edward (my father) 20/3/1913-living, Leonard 2/1916-1976, Sidney Alexander 1918-1934, Gerald 8/11/1923- living. I would welcome any news on our Varley connection in America, England or wherever, or any other relatives, as the family have become increasingly interested in finding out 'who we really are'.   Just a note of interest, I live in Sellicks Beach, South Australia.
