Thanks Lyne for the info,

I do have the details of the children of George & Mary. My tree is on Genes Reunited, if you use that site and contact me I will give you access. 

Also I think Jesse Gammons married ANN Bird, rather than Alice

Next time I'm in the library I will check out Stagsden baptisms to see if I can find an Esther born about 1776. Like you I cannot find marriage of Thomas & Esther, most likely around 1806.

Hi John,

Yes I do have a tree on GRU although at the moment I havent renewed my subscriptions, so I cannot access other peoples trees until I do.

You will probably know a couple of Gammons descendants that I know via GRU as well.

I take it that you also have the details of George's parents John and Rebecca.

If you are going to the library you might want to look for this.
Thurleigh Baptist Women's Meeting annual picnic in Gammons Close, now a playing field. The people are (left to right): Mesdames Dean, Lovell the Rev J C Sheldrick, May Sheldrick, Gammons, Joan Hunt, Daisy Bull (sitting), Mrs Hunt, Gale, Banes, Jefferies, Boydel, Eva Gammons.

It was taken in 1928 according to the information, I found it at the Bedfordshire and Luton Archives and Record Service Archives on Line.

John

There seems to be an earlier link between the Gammons of Thurleigh and Cardington.

The 1782 census of Cardington shows William Crockford age 25 born Cardington, and his wife Elizabeth 29 maiden name Gammons born Thurleigh

They appear to have married at Bedford St Paul on 30 Aug 1779 (William Crockford widower), with banns being published in Cardington on 15 Aug 1779 (Elizabeth Gammons of Bedford St Paul)

May be a complete red herring!

Hello David,

Thanks for that; if Elizabeth Gammons was 29 at the 1782 census that might make her the one christened at Thurleigh on 2 Feb 1752, daughter of J Gammons & Mary. I will look at the Thurleigh transcript this evening to see if there are any banns for the 1779 marriage in Bedford St Paul.

Jn Gammons & Mary Eadey married at Thurleigh on 1 July 1746 & had other children baptised there 1747 - 1761.

William Croxford had a previous marriage in Cardington on 20/01/1775 to Elizabeth Lavender - is there a burial for her prior to his 2nd marriage in 1779? On the IGI they had daughter Mary baptised on 17/11/1776 - is she on the 1782 census ?  and baptisms of another 2 daughters from the 2nd marriage, Ann 11 Apr 1784 & Elizabeth 10 Dec 1786

Hi John

Elizabeth Gammons was described as of Bedford St Paul in the Cardington banns, so I doubt if there were banns in Thurleigh

The first Elizabeth, Lavender, was buried at Cardington on 27 May 1777. Yes, Mary by the first wife was on the census, plus an Elizabeth born 7 March 1782 and died 13 March 1782.

Hi Lyne.  I have just found the Roots website, and am fascinated by all the information you have found about the Gammons name, linked particularly to Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire.

My father, Walter Thomas Gammons, was born in Redbourn, but his sister and others in the family come from around the Oakley area in Bedfordshire.

Could we be linked, or are the details you have listed come from another Gammons branch?

Hi John,
Welcome to Rootschat, its ages since I did any work on my family tree with the Gammons, I am only linked to them by one of my ancestors my 4 x Great Grandfathers oldest sister Sarah Nicholls Great Granddaughter Sarah Franklin was married to John Gammons.
John was a son of Jesse Gammons and Ann Bird.

I dont know if we are linked or not but if your aunt and others in the family come from around the Oakley area in Bedfordshire they could possibly be connected in some way to the Gammons I have in my tree.

Hi John & Lynne
Did you ever find a marriage for Thomas Gammons & Esther of Stagsden? As I believe I found one in Northamptonshire.
