TOVEY/LUNN - Bredon, Beckford, Overbury 18thC look up request
« on: Sunday 26 October 14 13:47 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

Back on the Tovey Trail (again)

My ancestor is Henry Tovey bap Didbrook 1752  - I know this is true because I know his age at death.
IGI (I know) shows a Henry Tovey bap 1752 Didbrook as the son of Richard & Elizabeth,  IGI also shows at least 4 other children bap Didbrook.

Anyhow, until recently I'd only ever found  Richard Tovey and Elizabeth Telling from Fairford.  As has been pointed out, Fairford is quite a way from the area my Toveys seemed to roam  Worcs/GLS/Warks borders.

However, I have found a baptism for a Richard Tovey  1721  Alstone  Warks  he seems a likely candidate to be Henry's father.  BUT,  I have also come across this burial:
Richard Tovey 1 Sept 1723  Parish  Bredon, Worcs. 
Of course, if this is the Alstone Richard Tovey, it's back to the drawing board for me......Can anyone find an age for this Richard Tovey when he was buried?

I am hoping it's the Richard Tovey married to another Elizabeth who baptised their son William Tovey  in Beckford in 11 Oct 1717......

I believe Richard Tovey bap Alstone 1721  to be the son of Joseph TOVEY of Overbury and Mary LUNN  who married in Bredon St Giles in 1716......anyone else have links to them or their families?  Joseph and Mary's children seemed to be baptised in Alstone or Alderton  parishes

Thanks.

Hi Claire,

Yes,  I'd seen those and couldn't find Richard either....   I was wondering whether there might have been a transcription omission.  More likely the Geneologist website  is mistaken.....
