Welcome! :)

What sort of information can we help you with?  Do you need census/BMD/parish register lookups, or are you just hoping to hook up with other GAMMONS researchers?

Rick :)

Hello, As Rick says what is it you are after - and the place is Moggerhanger

Thomas Gammons married Alice Scales there on 16 Nov 1872
His father was also Thomas.

That info you can get from the IGI on the FamilySearch website.

On 1881 census they are living in Blunham with 3 young children from that marriage I would think.
On 1871 Thomas is a 52 year old widower with his 3 children, while 2 doors up the road is widow Alice Scales age 37 with her son, both from Essex

I am not going to detail this as yet as you may already know this.


Regards
John

Hi All,
It could be Thomas Gammons and Alice Godfrey, that this person is asking about.

I found a tree belonging to someone in Australia after I Googled Thomas Gammons Moggerhanger, but there isnt much information.

From the IGI available at http://www.familysearch.org/eng/search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=igi/search_IGI.asp&clear_form=true I found the baptisms at Moggerhanger of the 3 children of Thomas & Alice as you found on 1881 census

04 May 1873  Alice Louisa
30 May 1875  Frederick Henry
22 Oct 1876  Agnes Elizabeth

Were you aware that 1881 says daughter Alice was blind through sunstroke.

On 1891 census only Frederick age 16 is still living with them, I cannot find the other 2 children.

Name:  Alice GODFREY 
Sex:  Female 
Spouse 1:  Charles SCALES (1829-1860) 
Spouse 2:  Thomas GAMMONS (1818-1904) 
Birth  Aug 1834  Woodford Wells, Essex, England 
Baptism  10 Aug 1834 (age 0)  St Mary's Woodford 
Death  Sep 1909 (age 75)  Moggerhanger, Bedfordshire, England 


Took this little snippet from the tree I found yesterday.
So Alice is the same person being married twice.

Can I ask if you are looking for further information on the Gammons family as a whole as there are quite alot of them.

Hello Lyne;  well spotted.......

FreeBMD has a marriage in Shoreditch vol 1c page 338 in March quarter 1855 where Charles Scales & Alice Godfrey are 2 of the 4 names on the page. 

But it didn't last so long as on 1861 census Alice Scales is a 27 year old widow & 5 year old son Charles, living in Woodford Essex with brother in law Edward Flack & family; we assume his wife Mary Ann is Alice's sister.

RG9/1062 Folio 108 Page 6
