Charles and Betty Hiley were the parents of Samuel (see Part 3), the grandparents of Harold and the great grandparents of Agnes (see Part 2). With them in their grave at Mankinholes are their children John, Sarah Ann, Grace and Charles Harrison, and also their grandson Percy. Charles and Betty had 11 children of whom 8 are buried at Mankinholes.
This Blog already contains a number of posts which mention Charles. Type Charles Hiley into the search box to see them, but be aware that other Charles Hileys will appear amongst the results.
Charles died in 1899, well before Henry Hiley was born. But Henry recalls:
In the Wesleyan Chapel in Walsden there was a ‘rogues gallery’ of worthy founders of the Chapel. One of the pictures was of Charles.
Either Samuel or Charles changed the (Highley) name to Hiley. I have always believed it was Charles who was born in 1822 and married Betty Harrison. I never knew them but their graves were at Mankinholes. I read the inscriptions on the headstones and have never until recently known that I had any connection with any Harrison.
