Hello Roger
I only recently came across your post regarding Captain Charles Le Geyt's book which sounds very interesting indeed. I would love to receive any information you have about it and on the family Le Geyt generally.
I have a copy of a book written by my great-great grandfather John Terry. One of his sons married into the Le Geyt family - and so it is through my mother, my grandmother and my great-grandmother that I descend from the Le Geyt family.
My late mother conveyed to me how my late grandmother, who was born on Guernsey and grew up on Jersey, would speak about Captain Charles William and various other names and places on the Islands, as well as the strong connections with Kent and London, all of which factoids have been found to be true and accurate. In fact, the origins of the Terry family go back to before the Confessor.
I wonder, did you and I meet many years ago?
Look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards
Heather
