I am just starting out on a line of research which focuses on De Bert Frank Solley (born 6th August 1882 at The Grove, Shotover, Oxfordshire).
De Bert later decided to call himself just 'Frank' and decided to emigrate to the USA in about 1902 where he eventually became a naturalised citizen.

Frank's father Michael Becker Solley was born in 1857 at Eastry, Kent, then he and his wife Sarah Ann (nee Mitchell) appear to have moved around a few places in the south of the UK before ending up at Four Marks, Hampshire.

Michael and Sarah are shown in the UK 1911 census as having 10 children, 8 of whom survived. By this time Frank was in the USA and was followed by a number of his siblings.

Just wondering at this stage if anyone has already carried out any research into Michael Becker Solley, De Bert Frank Solley or other family members ?

Many thanks,

Ian R.
