I have found the excellent list of Marriages at Combe Hay on the net, but am still looking for all Gay Family baptismal and burial entries for Combe Hay from the start of the registers to 1720. Can anyone who has access to this information please get in touch.
Thanks
Paul aka Rubbish

Hi Paul
Have you been in touch with the Somerset Hundreds groups at Yahoo groups? There may be someone there who can help - let me know if you would like me to do this.
I hope to be visiting Taunton in the next month or so - if you don't have any luck, I'll have time do to a little research myself

Hi Nanny
Do you mean you can't find headstones - or records of the burials. The latter should be in the parish register of burials. If you are looking for headstones, I think only a few people could afford them, and most burials were unmarked

Thanks Nanny,
The original enquiry was from Paul - I'm sure he'll reply to you - but as I'm descended from the same family he is researching, thanks from me as well.
Regarding space in churchyards - in practice, bones were often removed (in the Middle Ages) & placed in Charnel Houses, usually attached to the church. This made way for other burials - I don't know when this practice ceased - with the Reformation I guess. Otherwise I think families just buried one on top of another - some plots can contain up to 6 or more bodies (I think coffins are a fairly modern idea)

Nanny,
Thanks for spending time scanning the IGI. You gave me a couple of new entries that I did not know about. I aree looking for headstones is usually an unfruitful task. They also weather very quickly and any placed before 1800 are usually undecipherable.

Hi Paul
I know you started this thread a while ago, but I've been travelling and only just had a chance to catch up with all the Chat.
May I ask if you have info on more current Gays in Combe Hay? My Great Grandfather, Frank Gay b. 1849, was born in Combe Hay - and I think his mother Caroline (Garland) b. 1824. His father, Moses, and Moses' father, Paul, both seemed to be masons in Bath, but as the family was in Combe Hay mid-1800s, I was just wondering if they moved to Bath from there.
Any light to shed?!
Best
Sami

HI,
I am afraid I have no info on more recent Gays. What I do know is that the Gays of Combe Hay are not related to the Gays of South Stoke in the 17 century and 18 century.
Sorry I could not be of help.
Paul
