Somerset / Re: GAY Family of South Stoke and Combe Hay
« on: Tuesday 08 March 16 19:12 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks Geoff

Very good of you to reply - much appreciated.

It's evidence of any connections between the Gay families in the various parishes around Bath in the 1500s and 1600s that I'm researching.  At the moment I can't link the Gay family in Combe Hay to any of the other branches.  I think the earliest record for the Combe Hay family is the marriage of John Gay and Isabella Kelston in 1559 - but I'm not sure if there was anyone called Gay in Combe Hay before that date - or whether John Gay came from another Manor in the Bath area.  So it's just the origin of the first John Gay in Combe Hay that I need help with!

Many thanks

HI,
I am afraid I have no info on more recent Gays. What I do know is that the Gays of Combe Hay are not related to the Gays of South Stoke in the 17 century and 18 century.
Sorry I could not be of help.

Paul

Please can you tell us what evidence you have discovered that the Gays of South Stoke and Combe Hay were not related in the 17th and 18th century?

Hi Paul and Steve (and Nanny)

I've already been in touch with Steve about the Midsomer Norton Gay family - but hadn't realised that your interest clearly extends far beyond this one line of research.

Hope you won't mind if I chip into this thread!  I am researching the Gay family in the Bath area of Somerset in the 16th and 17th centuries.  Somewhere amongst them I'm trying to discover my true ancestral line (match to Somerset Gay family recently confirmed by DNA).  Very confusing! 

At present I'm trying to sort out any links between Richard of Claverton/Richard of Haycombe and the Gay family in South Stoke.  And then there are also references to the Gay family in Combe Hay (who Paul knows are not linked to those in South Stoke).  Then there is an as yet unidentified Robert Gay of Nettlecombe, born in about 1601, who claimed to have a brother with an estate in the Bath area.  Not forgetting the Gay family in Lyncombe and Widcombe from the early 1500s - John Gay, with a wife Joan and son Thomas (lease 1531), Thomas with sons William and Richard (lease 1565) - then John Gay with sons Henry and Benedict (lease in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I).

Plenty of information - but how to sort it all out?  Can you help please? Or can I help you?

I meant an old Bristolian in the more general sense!  We are more or less contemporaries - but I was at the Red Maids' School from 1951 - 1958!

Hi Steve

Good to hear from you - and that the Stanton Prior marriage is considered a possibility - though, I agree, it is by no means conclusive.

I am also an old Bristolian!

Re a marriage for parents of Henry Gay bp. 1707 Midsomer Norton:

What about John Gay married Mary Chares (aka Cheuers/Chevers) 14 February 1696/7 Stanton Prior?

This is the only near-relevant marriage of a John Gay and Mary I can find.

I know Stanton Prior is some distance from Midsomer Norton - but there is a baptism for a Mary Cheuers/Chevers 19 May 1672 Wellow, Somerset - daughter of Adam and Mary.  Wellow is not far from Midsomer Norton.

Maybe John Gay came from the Stanton Prior area.

Looking for more details

Maureen
Where did you find this information - and have you found out any more about Joyce Coe?  Is there any way now to contact you?  I am also researching the FT of Charles Skinner Coe.  He was my gg grandfather.

Thank you Annes.  There's certainly a little progress here.  It looks as if Joseph Coe's baptism may be missing - but certainly seems feasible that he was at least linked in some way to John and Ann Coe and their sons William and Samuel who married in BSE in the same year.

Very grateful for your help.  :)

Have there been any developments in the search for the origins of Joseph Coe and Elizabeth Skinner - thought to have married in Bury St Edmonds in 1798 - and parents of Charles Skinner Coe and Joseph Coe - both christened in London?

Charles Skinner Coe (ch. 1814) was the father of my great grandmother, Emma Elizabeth Coe, so, like Maureen, I am anxious to trace the Coe family roots back further than London in the early 1800s.

Very grateful for any further information.
