William Barnet GAY, born circa 1775
« on: Wednesday 05 August 09 12:29 UTC (UK) »
I would love to get this brick wall broken down. William married Dorothy Stan(d)field in St George in the East, Stepney, in 1799. William was a Carpenter but his son was a Silk Manufacturer. I have long suspected this family originates from a Huguenot line, as silk keeps cropping up. William's middle name also seems to be significant because Barnet or variations of it were used for several generations.

I have been "collecting" people with the surname Gay in the East End, but I cannot for the life of me find a birth or baptism for William. It doesn't help of course that I don't know where to look. This family seemed to spread all across Bethnal Green, Spitalfields, Whitechapel, and Stepney. It could be anywhere.

If anyone has access to the parish records in any of these places, I would be so grateful if you could look for William, and let me know even if you DON'T find him, so I can rule a parish out?

Hi

If you are searching in parishes in the East End of London this is the website that has transcribed baptisms from many of those parishes

Yes, I saw that, and the online search is batch specific, so I think I'd be better off buying their CD's.

These baptisms are also available from fmp on subscription, but there are no entires for William Barnet Gay.

They have 3 William Gay's baptised in Cornwall
