Help needed, please

[S128]

I can't seem to find any birth information or parental information on a 10 x Great Grandfather called Israel Giew/Gue. He died 1692 in Gussage All Saints, Dorset, England. He married a Grace Lane.

I have reason to believe he may have been Jewish due to his first and last name? not entirely sure though or if this would be the reason I can't find any type of birth record. Could anyone help?

Many thanks!

Just adding that his marriage to Grace Lane took place at Gussage (St Michael) 7 Sep 1654

Dorset OPC site has his name as Farell

Possible baptism:  Israell Gue, 1627, at Ringwood, Hampshire;  father Thomas.

Numerous online trees giving a birth in Gussage All Saints but no source shown.

Thank you for the info.

I did see him in quite a few online trees but also couldn't find any sources for his birth on them either. But the one in Hampshire looks promising.

Would I be right in thinking he may be Jewish? my Dad seems to think the surname Gue/Giew stands for Jew.

If you google  'Surname Gue' some sites suggest that it is French.

If he was Jewish he would not have been baptised.

Last name: Gue

Recorded as Delagua, Dugue, Duguet, Gue, and probably others, this is a French surname. It is cognate with the English word and surname 'Ford', being residential, and describing somebody who lived by a shallow river crossing, or who may have come from a   town or village of the same name.

There are several websites where you can enter a surname and it will give information of historical country of distribution.  I tried a French website and discovered Gue was common to several areas of France.

Websites showing Distribution of surname Gue

and on the subject of the familysearch website, they have several French bap;tisms of people born "Gue" living along the coast of France in Brittany/Bretagne,

Biblical names are very common in some families. My grandfather had an uncle Israel with siblings Rebekah, Elias, Susannah, etc. and they weren't Jewish.
