Sinse I was advised many years ago that my grandfather had changed his name from Yemm to Bosley, I have found many others who made the same switch. The one thing that thay all have in common is, they are all descendents of Sarah Yemm who died in Abinghall on Jan 10, 1810. Also while some changed when they immigrated, the majority of the changers never left England.
I have not previously encountered the name Omar Bosley, but wil search my records.
As an aside to Slowhands "great uncle Maynard always said that those who stuck in the second E in Bosley did not know how to spell correctly". I suspect the Boseleys say the same thing about us Bosleys.

Omar Dudley Bosley

My father and grandfather were both named Omar Dudley Bosley.
My father was born in West Virginia, US, on September 30, 1925.

It is possible ancestors were named Yemm and when arriving in the US changed the name to Bosley.

Does anyone have information relating to any Omar Dudley Bosley's. I have been notified that in addition to my father and grandfather there are four other Omar Dudley Bosley's that were in the US military.

Thank you in advance for any information.
