Has anyone come across these names being interchangeable?
I'm trying to sort out my Trevis/Trevise ancestors from Little Rowsley. John Trevis who died in 1710, had a wife called Elizabeth so named on the Probate administration papers. I can't find a relevant marriage for him.
He had 6 children (I think)
Mary 1685
Elizabeth 1688
Elizabeth 1691
Isabel 1695
Henry 1700
John (bapt not traced)

In the admin papers Elizabeth is charged with bringing up Isabel. Henry and John, because they are under the age of majority.
Her signature is witnessed by Caleb Stubbing who is married to Mary Trevis (marriage 1710). So far so good!
I had thought that Elizabeth died and was buried in 1721 (PRs show her as daughter of Isabell Trevise) I now think this was  sister Elizabeth
 There is a will of  Isabel Trevis of Calow in 1728.
In this will she leaves bequests to her daughter Mary (wife of Caleb Stubbing), Sons John and Henry, and names Caleb and Isaac Cowley as Executors, described as sons in law.  (Isaac Cowley of Brampton married Isabel Trevis at S Wingfield in1726). The name on the will is clearly Isabell!
  Does my theory hold water or am I clutching at straws?
I welcome any comments - I have checked original documentation where possible!!
Sorry for the long post.

I have traced my family back to Isaac Staveley born@1718, and have all relevant details about his wife and children .
However I am struggling with his parents. There are a number of trees on Ancestry that consider his parents to be Robert Staveley b1673 in Millington and mother Frances Harrison.
There is also a Robert Staveley born@1682 marrying Elizabeth Jefferson in Lund on 19 Sept 1703 which seems to be a better fit. His age is shown on the banns application, but I can't find a relevant birth/baptism. Can anyone help?  Justification for either couple would be great !!

I've lived around this area all my life and can't think of anywhere that would fit the bill. The nearest is Holmesfield but how that could become ' Heascham' defeats me even when I use my broadest accent !

Sorry I haven't replied before, for some reason I wasn't notified, and only saw it by chance!

I have researched these lines as far as I can and I agree they get very complicated!
I need to look back before I reply in any depth to remind myself, but I agree that John born in Rowsley is the one we are looking for!
I too am descended from Travis, Gill and Barker.

 My Barker link is through Jonathan, who also lived at Rowsley Hall, died 1750. John Travis lived there too and was a witness to Jonathan's will.  However most of my line is through the female side, Anne Travis (Bridget Milner's sister) who married Henry Fielding in 1811. Incidentally their son (my gggrandfather) Joseph Gill Fielding married his first cousin Bridget and William Milner's daughter  Mary, thus reducing my research lines!

I will pm you with my email address so you can let me know yours. I can then send you some details, and my research as attachments.

Did you know that  Rowsley Hall is actually The Peacock Hotel now?
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi Glen,
 You will find MHs birth in Chesterfield, he was baptised at Crooked Spire in 1821. As you can see from this thread  his father (Job) was married 3 times and had loads of children - I found eleven baptisms I think , but only MH survived.
There is a record of Job's death (in the local paper) and his wife (ann Hodgkinson) a little later.  Job's father was John (according to baptism record) but I haven't been able to find anything further. There are a few Whyatt families in Chesterfield but I have not been able to find any links to either John or Job. It may be that John originated elsewhere. The spelling also varies- wyett is another variation!

Is your friend related to this branch of our family?
