Allaway/Gillgrace - Hurst area

[elrowe]

I have just discovered a Francis Allaway married to Jane Gillgrace in 1746, they had 4 children, William, James, Thomas and Francis, then I assume she died and he remarried an Elizabeth Gillgrace in 1756, they went on to have Mary (my line), Francis, Elizabeth, James, Sarah and Suzannah.  Both marriages took place in Hurst and all children were born in Hurst.  William seems to have gone on to marry and have around 10 children.  So far, I haven't been able to find where Francis Allaway or  Jane and Elizabeth Gillgrace (possibly even Gillgrass as both were in the area) actually came from, or who their parents were.  Anyone out there looking down the same lines?

Hi Carol,
Have just found Rootschat!  And there you were!
William Allaway (b.Hurst), father of John Allaway (b. Hurst c.1770) was my great-great-great-great grandfather.  Someone told me they thought his father was Francis (and his grandfather was also Francis) so I have been searching for a Francis Allaway, but without success.  Where did you find him?
Basically, Francis (b. 1720ish, Hurst) married Jane Gillgrace and had William (b. 1747ish, Hurst) who married Ann Dunt and had John (b. 1771ish, Hurst) who married Ann Jones and had Nimrod (!) (born 1809, Finchampstead) who married Naomi Wildey and had Mary Ann (b. 1841 Finchampstead), who married George Loader (b. 1836, Finchampstead)and had Alice Sarah (b. 1861, Finchampstead) who married James henry Fowler (b. 1862, Farnham) and had my mum Olive in 1906.
Where do you fit in?

Hi Sue,

Yes, same guys, your William is brother to my husband's great-great-great-great-grandfather Francis Allaway and 2nd wife Elizabeth Gilgrace.  I got the info from the IGI where Ifound Francis's marriage details and both families for the Hurst records, however his birth was not listed on there, maybe he was from elsewhere....  I will leave my details on a personal message for you.
Regards, Carol
