I have a number of Gammons linked by marriage in my tree but they mainly come from Thurleigh & other North Beds villages,  I will track back & see if this lot from Blunham/Moggerhanger could come from there.

Back to 1861 in Moggerhanger

Thomas Gammons, head, age 42, born Moggerhanger ; Ag Lab
Jane Gammons, wife, age 35, born Renhold; Lacemaker
& children Emma age 14, Thomas 12, William 9, Mary 3 & Elizabeth 1; all born Moggerhanger

RG9/995, Folio 28, Page 16

Back to 1851 still in Moggerhanger
Thomas Gammons age 32 & wife Jane age 25
& children Sarah age 8, Emma 4 & Thomas 2.

HO107/1753, Folio 49, Page 2

The IGI has the marriage of Thomas Gammons to Jane Nouch at Blunham on 13 October 1845; the marriage index is Biggleswade RD vol 6 page 101 in Dec qtr 1845

You can find the birth dates & baptisms at Blunham & Moggerhanger of some of these children of Thomas & Jane on the IGI/FamilySearch website,   

There is a death index of Jane Gammons age 41 (born 1826) in Biggleswade RD vol 3b page 201 in Dec qtr 1867

Thomas could be the son of Thomas & Sarah Gammons, born 20 Jun 1818 & baptised 26 June 1818 at Blunham as per extracted IGI entry.
There are another 7 children of that couple baptised there between 1816 - 1836.

There is a marriage of Thomas Gammons to Sarah Speechley at Blunham on 25 Dec 1815

I cannot find Thomas on 1841 census, but mother Sarah age 45 & a few of her children (the names do fit those baptised perhaps) but the image is near illegible.  HO107/9 Folio 7, Page 8

Hi John,

Thank you but it wasnt really well spotted.
In all honesty the name Gammons drew me to the post because I thought it was familar to me.
I checked my tree and I have Gammons from bedfordshire in it linked by marriage to one of my ancestors. The Gammons I have seem to be in Stagsden and Cardington though.

I have three Thomas Gammons in my tree so will check if any match with the ones you have mentioned.

Hi John,

I have a Thomas Gammons in Thurleigh married to an Esther (sorry I dont have a surname for her) in my tree, infact he is the first Thomas Gammons in my tree born roundabout 1778.

Hello Lyne,

I have that Thomas Gammons in my tree, baptised Thurleigh on 23 Aug 1778, he is son of George Gammons & Mary Measures. They also had daughter Ann (1790) who married William Armstrong & someone/sometime from that Armstrong family married into my Partridges.

I do not have Thomas's marriage to Esther - do you have date & place.

Regards
John

Hi John,

I,m sorry but I do not have a date or place for Thomas's marriage to Esther, I do know that Esther was born in Stagsden about 1776 and died in 1826.

Thomas and Esther had the following children

Campion Gammons 1807-1807 born Stagsden.
John Gammons 1808-1859 born Stagsden
Susannah Gammons 1811 born Stagsden.
Robert Gammons  1813-1881 Born Stagsden.
Charles Gammons born 1816 Stagsden
Jesse Gammons born 1817-1888 Stagsden.


Jesse Gammons married an Alice Bird born c1817 Sharnbrook Bedfordshire.
They had the following children.
Elizabeth Gammons born 1838 Stagsden.
Thomas Gammons born 1840 Stagsden.
Susan Gammons born 1842 Stagsden.
Sarah Gammons born 1846 Stagsden.
Charles Gammons born 1849 Stagsden.
Eliza Gammons born 1851 Stagsden.
John Gammons born 1853 Stagsden.
Mary Gammons born 1857 Stagsden.


I know there are Gammons decendants in Borehamwood and also Wanstead, I will have to look at my tree further.
