124 views
Thomas Russell Wooley lived in Bridgton, Maine, United States.  I am looking for confirmation on the name of his father being Fred Wooley (1864-1931).  I am also looking for any hints on finding out when the family arrived in North America from England and confirmation of the birth place there.  I do know that this family was in the silk/wool industry and on census data, were listed as "Weavers" by profession.  

Other spellings of the last name include Woolley.  Any help is greatly appreciated.
