Charles Henry Alley was apparently born in 1846 in Queens County Ireland. He emigrated to New Zealand settling in the Hawkes Bay area, principally in Farndon and Clive. He married Margaret Odlum on 1 October 1868 in Napier. He held several jobs, one was as a cooper and another was a storekeeper. He was bankrupted in 1909. He died on 18 January 1929 at Farndon, Hawkes Bay. He had several children, one of which is my great grandmother.
He may well be connected to the Alleys who lived in Hikutaia but I am unable to establish the connection. I have also been unable to find his parents.
