Hi Pennie,
Thank you for reply, it is a valuable, and surprising, addition.
It also illustrates the paucity of information, there should be a dozen or more marriages based on the recorded births for the lines investigated so far; taking all the potential lines it should be over 30.
I am happy that Richard is one of mine, and I expect him to prove to be the grandson of John or Edward - input from any other RootsChatters most welcome.
Anne and Alice point to an area of research which I may need to defer for a while. If they are mine, and I suspect they are, it shows that the Honey migration from Sunningwell started much earlier than predicted. My thought at present is that Anne is the daughter of the other one of John and Edward, and that Alice is her neice.
One of the joys of RootsChat is that you rarely get the answer you expect, so that tendencies to tunnel vision are dispelled.
Many thanks for your help Pennie
Colin

Hello Colin,
I have been looking through the various posts re. the Honey family of Sunningwell as I too have ancestors of this family.
I noted that the entries were a couple of years old now so I hope that it is still possible to contact you in this way.
I seem to agree with the info as I have understood it and I wondered whether you have continued your Honey research to perhaps point me in the right direction re. Edward Honey?
The furthest that my research has taken me is that William Honey (born 1626) who married Elizabeth Clements was the son of Edward Honey who I presume was born c1590. If you could shed any more light on any details re. Edward I would be most grateful please. Also, I have Robert (born 1664) who was the son of William Honey & Elizabeth Clements. I have never been able to locate a marriage entry for him and I wondered whether you have had any luck in this area?
Should you be able to help me at all I would be very grateful if you would contact me please.
With many thanks,
Treefan.

Hi Chris, many thanks for your reply.
My Honey line is as follows :-
1. Edward Honey born c1590
Father of 5 known offspring, all baptised Sunningwell.
2. William Honey (son of Edward) baptised 24 Dec 1626, Sunningwell
married Elizabeth Clements 21 Nov 1650, Sunningwell
3. Robert Honey baptised 25 Nov 1664, son of William. No likely marriage found as yet. 7 known offspring all baptised in Sunningwell.
4. Christopher Honey, son of Robert, born 1700, Sunningwell married Mary Stevens in Bessleseigh 18 June 1730.
Christopher buried 22 Aug 1756, Sunningwell
Mary buried 28 June 1763, Sunningwell
5. James Honey, son of Christopher, baptised 28 July 1734 Sunningwell
married Ann Wheeler 16 April 1759, Sunningwell
James was buried in Iffley on 2 April 1807
10 offspring known, all baptised Sunningwell.
6. Christopher Honey, son of James Honey, baptised 4 May 1777.
Married Elizabeth Couldrey 19 June 1803, St Peter in the East, Oxford
Elizabeth died & was buried in Iffley, 8 Aug 1809.
Christopher re-married to Frances Combes on 8 Oct 1811, South Hinksey.
Frances died & was buried 30 April 1820 aged 47, St Aldates, Oxford
Christopher died & was buried 27 Jan 1822 aged 45, St Aldates, Oxford.
My line then continues through their daughter Mary Honey who was baptised St Aldates, 13 June 1804 -- she married Joseph Steventon who was baptised St Aldates 7 Jan 1802. They had 10 children.
I hope this brief outline of the Honey branch of my family tree is useful to you.
With best wishes,
Treefan.

Thanks Sue,
They are all useful because I a sure they are all descendents of Edward, and I have a longer term objective of demonstrating how Edward populated Oxon and Berks with Honeys. Towns and villages with his descendents include Lambourne, Warborough, Benson and Reading.
You are right about the spelling, in 1620 the spelling was Honye.
Once again, thank you for your help.
Best wishes
Colin

Hi All , I too come down through Edward " Hony" to James and Ann Wheeler, then their son William b 1769 and his dau Martha by his 2nd wife and nearly all were born in Sunningwell or close to it. There are lots of spellings of the name , such as Hony, Hunny, Honney until lastly Honey. I have been asked if the Honey name originated in Germany as Honig, or if they had anything to do with the Canary Islands. Can anyone help me please Val
