It looks as if I have made it this time
I have a fair bit of info on the Boys Family but am getting gaps in my own line.
If someone has details of the Molash parish aera it would help

I have most of the Parish records of Deal & Walmer where there are several Boys listed. I know it's not Molash but people did move about.

Thanks AJ
at the moment my immediate family line seem to be centered around Godmersham and the ajoining parishes, if it looks like straying out to Deal or Walmer then I would appreciate your help.

I have this book "Under 37 Kings" all about the Boys Family leading up to 1066 but I cannot see what branch my line follows on to ones in the book.  It is thought to be of the Willesborough branch but so far I cannot make the connection.

Hi Dave,

I was interested to read this post as one of my ancestors, Lawrence Banks, lived at Boys Hall, Willesborough in the late 1700's to early 1800's. As the name of the house suggests it was owned by the Boys family. If you happen to have any mentions of the Banks family in your research I would be most interested.

Hi All,

I have interests in the Boys family of Kent as well.

My line starts with Mary Boys bap 29 Jun 1698 Herne. She married Gibbon Rammell 26 Feb 1718 St George the Martyr, Canturbury & was buried 26 May 1782 Tilmanstone.

Her parents were Edward Boys b1674 Kingston, d1700 Tilmanstone and Mary Ewell 1673-1759. Edward & Mary were married 8 Nov 1696 Herne.

Edward's parents were Robert Boys 1642 - 1705 Betteshanger & Mary Friend 1636 Northbourne - 1709.

Robert's parents were Herbert Boys 1590-1631 & Mary Bassocke.

This line goes back to John Boys born circa 1400 Goodnestone.

Regards,

Gillian

Hi Dave and welcome and Hi Gillian

I also have a Boys connection. Like Gillian I have got Robert Boys and Mary Friend in my tree but that is as far as I have got. Unlike Gillian, my link comes through their daughter Ann Boys who marries John Matson. So if anyone has any further information I would be grateful

Many thanks
Jackie  ;)

Hi Jackie,

I have been in contact with Boys/Matson descendents. Doverrog has posted messages on this site concerning the Matson family. Search for Maston in the Kent pages & you'll find his posts.

I have also been in contact with Linda who is descended from John Matson & Anne Boys. I'll send you her details by personnal message.

Hello everyone, I'm interested in this thread because one of the names that recurs though my family is Boys, but as a christian name for the eldest male, and all Kentish based as far back as I can go.
The farthest back I have is Boys Simons or Simmons, b around 1723 no exact details confirmed, but died 1772 and buried in Marden.
I'm assuming that this unusual christian name came into the family with a marriage, presumably from a lady whose maiden name was Boys, but so far haven't managed to track her.   That is just an assumption but seems reasonable.
If this rings bells with any of you, I'd love to know.   Thanks for reading.

p.s. So sorry David, forget to say welcome to Rootschat!

Hi Dave,

Welcome to RootsChat.  I hope your journey here will be a pleasant one.

I may be able to help you with your enquiries but I would need some specifics as to where you are stuck, such as names, last known event particulars (place and date or estimated date) as well as an idea of what you are immediately in need of in the way of data.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Susan

Hi All
Many thanks for the welcome and the reponses to my original message.

In my message I mentioned a book I have called  "Under 37 Kings". To those interested in tracing the Boys Family as far as 1066 I have found a source for the book. It is on a CD in PDF format and obtainable from www.timelessgen.com for $15. This is not a sales pitch for the site, I searched for a long time to find a copy of the book to give to my brother. The book itself went out of print and the secondhand ones are expensive.

Gillian and Jacki
Thanks to AJ who put me onto the Walmer line I found Robert Boys & Mary Friend and found the line that goes all the way supposedly to 1066. I found some info from an online book called "Records of Walmer"that can be downloaded in PDF form from http://www.archive.org/details/recordsofwalmert00elvi. The rest came from a pedigree chart in  my book mentioned above.
I can send the chart to you once I have worked out how to do it in RootChat

Post by: Zacktyr on Saturday 18 February 12 16:03 GMT (UK)

Hi Dave,

While I realize that you posted concerning Robert Boys and Mary Friend specifically for the benefit of Gillian and Jacki, I do wish to include a few additional finding details about that branch of the family for future researchers who happen upon these postings.

The family of Robert Boys and Mary Friend can be found in the Records of Walmer, as you so mention http://www.archive.org/details/recordsofwalmert00elvi. on the pedigree on page 363, in the 4th generation, and being the second son.

Dave, in your previous postings you are asking for information from the Molash area and subsequently stating that your "...immediate family line seem to be centered around Godmersham and the adjoining parishes...".  Forgive me, but how does this family at Walmer connect with your family around Godmersham.  Or, perhaps there is no connection but that you are attempting to find one.

I do not have access to the other book, Under 37 Kings, to which you refer. 

But, I do have easy access to just about all of the Bishop's, Archdeacon's and/or Parish registers for Godmersham, Molash and surrounding areas.  But, as those are in their native form they are not indexed.  So, I would need a clearly defined search strategy if you wished me to take a look in one of the registers.

If I can help, please let me know.

Sincerely,
Susan

Title: Re: Boys Family in East Kent Parishes
Post by: DavefromKent on Saturday 18 February 12 19:11 GMT (UK)

Hi Susan

My line is supposed to descend from Thomas and Thomazine Boys (1508) I took an interest in Robert Boys as  he is also descended from this couple.
According to my book the Bonnington, Hythe, Mersham, Willesborough, Uffington, Betzhanger Tenants, and the New Zealand branches start from this couple. The book was published in 1926 and the author was Lilian Boys Behrens. She gave the book to my father and other members of the male members of the Boys Family close to her.

The difficulty I have is connecting my immediate line to that of one of the branches mentioned above, it was quoted in an obituary I have that it is the Willesborough branch but as yet i have not made the connection.
So far I am up to Daniel Boys who married Mary Page in Crundale (1711) and lived in Molash  with their children.

Regards
Dave

Title: Re: Boys Family in East Kent Parishes
Post by: Zacktyr on Friday 24 February 12 16:24 GMT (UK)

Hi Dave,

I have now had an opportunity to examine both Crundale and Molash for your Boys family.  Very diappointing results, I'm afraid. 

As to Crundale:  From 1711 back through time, there were no other Boys in any event category back to 1639 but loaded with Page events therefore I think must have been the Bride's parish.  For Crundale, I was able to examine the register right through the Interregnum and Civil War periods and found the register for those periods to be very well preserved.

As to Molash:  Other than a christening 19 Aug 1712 of Thomas son of Daniel and Mary, from that time back through to and including 1639/40 there were no other Boys events.  For Molash I do not have the register for the period of the Interregnum and Civil War but suspect as there were no other Boys events that it would be unlikely that any would appear for that time period should the register still exist.

Now, on a different front, I have found the following in my East Kent Families Database:

SURNAME	GIVEN NAME	EVT	DATE	YEAR	PARENTS/SPOUSE	PLACE	SOURCE
BOYS	Daniel	Chr	31 May	1685	Daniel/Ann	Lynsted	BT
BOYES	Ann	Bur	17 Jan	1688	Selling	BT
BOIS	Daniel	SPRATT	Elizabeth	Marr Lic	1690	Canterbury ML	BOYDS G & B II
BOYS	Elizabeth	Bur	19 May	1710	wife  of David.  Note:  There is no David Boys at Lynsted and have to wonder if name had been misrecorded as David rather than Daniel.	Lynsted	BT
BOIS	Robert	Chr	19 Nov	1693	John/Anne.  Note:  I've included this entry as it is the only one with the same surname spelling as the marriage in 1711, but it may simply be a red herring.	Boughton Blean	PR BT

I'll keep my eye out for you and if I stumble across any other Boys that might be related to your fellow, I'll send it on.

Sincerely,
Susan

Hello, I have just found that, after months of searching, my gggrandfather, Thomas Boys Morris, was born in Strood. His father was born in East Langdon - John Morris - and mother Sarah was born in West Langdon. When trying to figure out the Boys connection, I found this post AND have found some odd records in Ancestry of handwritten notes about the deaths of CAtherine Boys and Sarah boys in 1801 and 1806 (wondering if they are grand/great grandmothers of Thomas' mother Sarah and if her surname was Boys, given the coincidence of that unusual name, the family coming from the Langdons, and the fact that there seem to be a lot of Boys in that area. (Thomas born in 1816/John about 1787/Sarah about 1797)
Does anyone know about the Morris Boys connection?? I am coming up blank beyond the census records of 1841/51, no marriage, birth records (except for Thomas Boys), nothing for the parents.
 Thomas Boys Morris became a mariner, married hannah Hickman from Southampton in 1840, and though he died young, assuming that is why he does not live in the family home with his wife - she becomes head of household by 1851 (died at sea?), his full name shows up on his children's wedding banns (Thomas Boice/Boyce/Boys Morris; master mariner/deceased).
Any information to find the Boys connection that might help me continue to go back and to answer questions about the family origins would be VERY much appreciated!

Post by: DavefromKent on Friday 16 March 12 11:10 GMT (UK)

Hi
While at astandstill in my own research I thought I would have a look at Thomas Boys Morris.
Ancestry did not help much but to date www.familysearch.org did provide some info which I have provided in the attachment. If I have seen the correct father and mother for Thomas Boys Morris then there is an issue with parents marriage date and Thomas baptisim date


Hi Susan
I think the Lynsted Daniel Boys looks about right as far as the given years go and his children names seem to have carried onto his son's children names.
I will have to wait until the new Kentish Studies is opened in Maidstone or the Canterbury Archives building to be finished, before I can make closer checks

Hi Derek,
Welcome to the forum
As you can see from above I am stuck trying to find a link between the families noted in the mentioned book and my direct line.
Does your Boys Family Pedigree show descendants of Thomas Boys and Margaret Honywood children, namely John (2nd son ), Vincent (b Dec 1607 ) and William ( b May 1612 )
Of the pedigrees I have, only seem to deal with family lines of note.

Look forward to a fruitful exchange of info

Hi, Derek! Welcome to Rootschat.
Would you consider donating a copy of your PDF file to the Kent Online Parish Clerks' Project at www.kent-opc.org? 

I have sent you a personal message with my email address on which you can respond.  You will have to have made 3 Rootschat posts before you will be able to send personal messages, hence my email address is being forwarded in my post to you.

Your PDF file, regardless of venue of sharing, sounds as if it will be of immense help to many Boys descendants.

Thank you for making such a generous offer.

Sincerely,
Susan

Betty, I hadn't noticed this part of the thread either, so you are not alone!    Probably a hopeless long shot but if you, or any other Boys descendants, notice the name Simmons or Simmonds or any similar variant, including Symons, in these trees I'd love to hear.    That's how this unusual name came into our family, with a Boys Simmons.

I just picked up your note about the family you mention having 8 other children, and if any of the girls married a Simmons... always worth asking.   Thanks

Hello Maggie1895 ;D  I haven't had much luck with the children of Boys Wanstall & Lydia Hook, only a possible marriage for one daughter, Elizabeth, to a Richard WYBORN in 1803.
No luck at all with the daughters of Hannah Boys & John Wanstall.
These families were all from East Kent, around the Great Mongeham, Sholden, Northbourne areas. according to my Wanstall contact.
I'll keep looking & if I do come across a Simmons (or variants) I'll get back to you.

Hi

Lucy Gambrill (Boys) is in my family tree as sister of one of my 5th degree direct ancestors, William. I started looking at this because we had a very detailed family history on my mother's side, but nothing on my Dad's side of the family. My Dad always thought our family were connected to Lilian Boys-Behrens / Rev Richard Boys, but I can't find any connection, and the furthest I have been able to go back to is Daniel Boys (1652 - 1727) and his wife, Ann. I'd be intrigued to know if anyone has managed to probe further back in history within this line.

With regards

Deirdre

Hi

You were looking at trying to connect Daniel Boys (1685 - 1726, married to Mary Ann Page) to one of the other branches of the Boys families. I have found Daniel's father (also Daniel Boys - 1652 - 1727, married to Ann Theobald), then I got stuck. I was wondering if you'd managed to get any further?

Best wishes

Deirdre

Hi Deirdre
No I also have come to a grinding halt with Daniel Boys/Ann Theobald of Lynsted.
Where did you get his birth as being 1652, according to his burial details he was 91 when he died which would make his birth date approx 1636.
I have found in the Canterbury "Strangers Church" Baptisms details, an entry for Daniel du Boys baptised 1593. He came from a huguenot family that escaped persecution and I presume settled in Kent. Some huguenot families are said to have settled in Faversham which is a neighbouring town to Lynsted.
I have also traced Lilian Boys Behrens family as I believed she was in someway related to my family line, she visited my Grandfather at one time.

Have a good Christmas and a happy New Year

David

Hi David

Thank you for your reply. I think I got Daniel Boys' date of birth from a match with another family tree - I have gone into it but not found any documentation that relates to his date of birth or age at death / burial. I am new at this so I may well have got this incorrect.

I have found a Kent Online Parish Clerks site that has 5 Boys family trees - The Godmersham family tree is the one my Dad originates from. There is a much bigger one from 1067 stretching to 98 pages which Lilian Boys-Behrens appears as a footnote on one of the pages saying she is a daughter - although it is unclear which of 2 brothers is her father. That line descends from Rev Richard Boys.

I have a Rr Admiral William Henry in the family tree I've put together, married to Charlotte Sophia Greenall. This couple appear in the large 1067 family tree as descendants of one of John Boys and Mary Harvey's sons (a separate branch from Rev Richard Boys), but I have a feeling I've mixed up 2 different William Henry's so I need to go back to look at this again. Otherwise I could find no shared individuals in the 2 family trees.

Best wishes for the New Year

Deirdre

Hi there,
Luch Boys married Thomas Woodland Gambrill.
They are my 3rd great grandparents. Their son Thomas Boys (my 3rd great grandfather) came to New Zealand, where I live with 11 or 12 of their children.

Hi, I am looking for information on Robert Boys, born 1778 in Sandwich, Kent, to William (occupation Surgeon) and Jane. Robert became a Major in the Royal Marines and never married. He lived in Southwark, London. I believe he may have illegitimately fathered a child, Robert Rushbury to Sarah Rushbury in 1806. The birth is in parish registers in Lambeth, recorded incorrectly with the surname 'Rusby'. When Robert Rushbury later married, he mentioned that Robert Boys was his father.
I would like to find out more about him and his family, if anyone has any records about them please?

Thank you
