Hi Rebecca,
I have recently discovered I have a connection to James Halley b 1755 who married Janet Donaldson b 1756. James Halley was the son of John Haly b 1724 married to Mary Mcliesh b 1725.
John Haly was the son of John Haly b 1691 married to Margaret Gow b 1695 from Tullibardine Blackford Perth. Mary McCliesh was the daughter of James McCliesh b 1699 at Muthill Perth married to Mary Gentle b 1701.
These Haly's were from Blackford Muthill Perth. There is a James Haly b1722 a brother ofJohn Haly. Is this your James Haley's grandfather??
The name Haly became Halley at some point but I do not know why or when.
Best Regards
