Devon / Paige family of Devon
« on: Wednesday 31 October 12 15:59 GMT (UK) »
I am researching the early history of the Paige family which originated in Plymouth and South devon as early as the 14th.C. probably originally being a branch of a Norman french family.
As well as Paiges in South devon there was a family in North Devon mentioned as early as the 17th. C., has anyone researched their earlier history in particular connecting them with the early Plymouth Paiges who were mostly called William or John and were successful merchants.
I should mention that apart from errors in transcription from early documents, Pages without the I ar not normally related as the root is completely different.
Thanks in anticipation of your interest
