  Stephen Dearnley Stephen Dearnley OAM
1922-2012

It is with great sadness that we note the recent passing of Stephen Dearnley.
Stephen led a very colourful life which included roles as "survivor, publisher, motorcyclist, yachtsman and boatbuilder"  - see THE OLD AND THE BOLD ...
He was also an early and generous contributor to this site.

Stephen will be sorely missed and our thoughts are with his family and many friends.

New Dearnley Info
 
Ian Goddard has discovered some found some Dearnleys living in Derbyshire/Cheshire (early 1500s), with property in the Holme Valley, Yorkshire. It is becoming evident that the Dearnaleys appeared in Yorkshire, rather abruptly, at the end of the Civil War (1642–1651). Ian suggests that, perhaps, with a predominantly royalist Cheshire, they could have had Parliamentary sympathies & moved in anticipation of old scores being settled.
