Timeline

1540

Thomas Paley (1540-1592) is the earliest member of the family mentioned in the parish records, beginning at least eight generations of continuous succession in the parish, until the 19th century, when the Industrial Revolution and the railways extended both the horizons and the opportunities.

1708

Sir Victor is related the well-known theologian William Paley, sometime Archdeacon of Carlisle, through the clergyman's Uncle George (1708-1765).

1746

George's son Richard (1746-1808) moved to the growing industrial towns of the North and played a role in the development of Leeds and of Bradford, together with his son and nephew.

Richard grew wealthy producing munitions for the French Revolutionary Wars but was bankrupted by the slump following the Peace of Amiens, and died before he could recover.

1774

However, the nephew, John Paling Green (1774-1860), took over the Bowling Iron Works and became a wealthy industrialist and railways director.

He and his firms financed churches for his birth-place, Langcliffe and of East Bowling, the source of the family wealth.

It was probably this investment portfolio that also founded and funded the professional progress of his grandsons, and their descendants.

1835

Victor's great-grandfather served as Rector, from 1835 to 1879.

1840

Victor's grandfather was William Victor Paley (1840-1925), a local artist, but William's brother, John (1839-1894), was the squire of Ampton Hall and married the Hon. Clara Strutt, a daughter of the 2nd Lord Rayleigh.

George Paley (1872-1914) was an Army officer and was killed in action in October 1914, when Victor was eleven years old.

Victor was born in Freckenham in Suffolk, where his family was well-established.

1903

Major General Sir Victor Paley, KBE, CB, DSO, DL (1903–1976) was a British Army officer.

In addition, he was seconded to the Ghana Army, to become the first Chief of the Defence Staff of the dominion of Ghana.

Alexander George Victor Paley, generally known as Victor, was born in 1903, the son of George and Rose Paley.

Having skipped a wartime rank, he received a substantive promotion on his peacetime rank to bring him to full Colonel and transfer to the General Staff in 1947.

1951

As a temporary Brigadier, Paley was appointed a CBE in 1951, upgrading him in status within the order: from an Officer to an ordinary Commander; this also marked a subtle swap in status in his post-nominals, as a Commander trumped the Companionship (the only grade of this order) of the DSO.

The following year saw his substantive promotion to Brigadier.

1957

He was then appointed an Aide-de-Camp to the Queen, a post he held until 1957 and his substantive promotion.

However, he continued to maintain semi-formal links with the military until the end of the decade.

In retirement, Sir Victor returned to the county of his birth, Suffolk, and set up home in the village of Great Barton, near to Ampton, where his father's cousin had once owned Ampton Hall, and where he, likewise, put himself forward for public office.

1967

In 1967, he was appointed the annual High Sheriff of Suffolk, the third generation of his family to hold the office.

The RGJ was the amalgamation of the green-jacketed regiments of the Rifles tradition, with some others, which included his own old regiment.

1969

He retired from these duties in 1969.

Paley's immediate family was well-established in Suffolk, in Ampton and in Freckenham, but the main branch was firmly rooted in the North Riding of Yorkshire, in the neighbouring villages of Giggleswick and Langcliffe.
