The Gidley One Name website is now viewable at
Regard it at present as a giant index to Gidleys all over the world. There is still much I can add to the Most Wanted, for example, or the Albums, but at present I have used the simplest template I could find and I shall still also use this blog to update any new research.
In case you are puzzled as to which branch your Gidleys belong, my reference number is included in each entry. The prefix Bu refers to the Buckfastleigh branch, for example, Ped to the Winkleigh branch. There are possibly fuller details for each branch on my home PC, and living family members may be included on the trees on my home PC but should definitely not be on the website.
If you are stuck, use the contact details to get in touch. And contact me for any complaints or comments on errors or omissions! I'm expecting some - it's inevitable.
The 1921 England & Wales census is now live, but expensive, so I haven't updated any trees yet. The 1950 U.S. census will also go live later this year, so there will be plenty to add in the future.
Meanwhile I really hope this will help Gidleys everywhere get a sense of where they belong.
