Thomas Dainty (1815-1902)

[Paulineds]

Hello Victor,

I believe that the parents of Thomas Dainty (born 1815) were Thomas Dainty & Anne Evans, who were married on 10 November 1806 at Eldersfield, Worcestershire. I got this from the Family Search website. In addition to Thomas, they were the parents of Ann (1809 - 1826). Jane (1813 - 1834) and John (1818 - 1843). Neither Ann nor Jane married. John married and named his first son Thomas Evans Dainty - which seems to indicate that Anne Evans is probably correct. Thomas Evans Dainty was born in 1838 and died the following year. His siblings were James (b. & d. 1843) and Jane (born 1840). Jane married George Oakey, and contested the Will of Thomas Dainty (1815 - 1902), but lost her case.

How are you related to them? As I have previously mentioned, I am not related to them, but I share the same surname, and was born in Gloucester.

Jane married George Oakey, and contested the Will of Thomas Dainty (1815 - 1902), but lost her case.

Hi Pauline, would you be able to lead me to the document or information that shows she (Jane) contested his will... I've looked and can't find it. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Julie-Anne, the evidence is on the last page of Thomas Dainty's Will. Probate was finally granted to the surviving Executor (John Dainty) on 27 December 1902 after a High Court ruling on 17 December 1902 in the case of Dainty & Coren v. Oakey. I have always felt that Jane was the Oakey named, since she was Thomas's niece and his only surviving close relative, his wife, parents and siblings being already dead. I still cannot work out his relationship to John Dainty after many years of searching, although I have done a considerable amount of work on John's family.

Hope this helps, and if you are able to shed any further light on the whole matter, I would be very grateful.

I know this is a very old thread but did anybody discover the link between John and Thomas Dainty.
I am not personally related but they have come up in my research into the history of Tredworth.
