Below this pedigree is the following information:
"In compliance with the will of his father-in-law, the Rev. J.
T. F. Hurt, his wife, and their issue - five sons and three daughters
- assumed by Royal sign manual, 15 Sept., 1827, the surname of Wolley only, and
also the arms of Wolley. He died in November, 1877, and was succeeded by his
third son, Charles, born 21 March, 1826, now the Rev. Charles Wolley-Dod, of
Edge Hall, Malpas, co. Chester, whose wife was the granddaughter of T. C. Dod,
Esq., of Edge Hall, whose surname he has since assumed. He has had issue eight
sons and three daughters, the eldest and heir being Francis, born 3 May, 1854,
married 1887, to Annette, daughter of F. Clark, Esq., of Aldridge Lodge, co.
Stafford, by whom there is issue, John Cadogan, Charles, and a daughter."

issues and in 1821 he is listed as the heir to his late brother, John.

Notes on the published pedigree:
- There is a misprint in the information
about Adam Wolley and his wife Grace who died in 1657 and 1669
respectively. They were married for 76 years, not 26 as printed.
See a transcript of their MI in Matlock church
- Whilst researching Charles Clarke, the son-in-law of Adam Wolley,
the web mistress came across three different dates for his death.
Bryan says it was 15 Apr 1863 as shown above and in his book. The
MI transcripts on this site say
it was the 13th April and "The
Derby Mercury", publishing the announcement of his death
on the Wednesday 15th Apr stated he died on Sunday 12th April.
