Hello Michelle,
Hope you are still on the site.
If so could you send me a photo of your father or grandfather I would be interested to see if there is any resemblance.

Hello.

I have just wandered onto this post.
My great grandmother was Francis Gertrude Gee.

I am going to read this thread though thoroughly as I think this is my family !

Mandy.

In Drobbly's post earlier he mentions that his ancestor William Gee married Elizabeth Sneath in Ayston on 1 June 1830. According to the Family Search site a William Gee married an Elizabeth Evertt in Ayston on 31 May 1830. The same site also states that William Gee married Elizabeth Sneath on 31 May 1830. I guess that they can't both be correct. Ayston was too small a village to have such a coincidence surely!

I appreciate that Family Search may not always be correct, given the source of some of its records, but I'd be interested in the provenance of Drobbly's source because if both are intended to be the same marriage, one of the records must be incorrect.

I ask because I believe that this William Gee was one of my great great grandfathers.

cheers

Tony

The Sneath marriage is correct, one of the sons had a middle name of Sneath, sorry it took so long to reply
Gees in Leicester, Somerby and Rutland
Thornes in Leicester and Hinckley

Wow Drobbly, that was a long time but thanks anyway.

Since I first posted that, findmypast has published images of parish marriage records and there is one for this marriage. So, as you say, the lady's name was definitely Sneath and the marriage took place on 31 May 1830, the day after the third banns were announced. The couple were my great great grandparents on my mother's side.

Are we therefore related?
