Somerset / Paul GAY in Bath
« on: Friday 18 February 11 13:54 GMT (UK) »
I don't know if anyone can help, but I'm trying to find out more about one of my ancestors, Paul Gay.
I think I found him in the 1841 census, living in Bath with Elizabeth Gay (hopefully his wife). He appears on his son's marriage certificate in 1842, profession 'Mason'. And I found a marriage in 1813 on Family Search of a Paul Gay to Elizabeth Vagg in St. James, Bath.
Apart from these entries, I cannot find a trace of a birth registration, the birth registration of his son, Moses, or any other siblings. I am traveling to Bath this summer to see what else I can find out, but in the meantime would like some more facts to work with. Are there any lists of Masons working in the Bath area? (When googling, all I get are Freemasons!) Anyone have any ideas where I could look for birth registrations?
In hope
