IMPORTANT: THE AUTHOR HAS TAKEN THE

ANCESTRY.COM DNA TEST

IF ANYBODY READING THIS HAS ALSO DONE SO, OR IS THINKING OF DOING SO, PERHAPS THEY CAN GET IN TOUCH WITH ME, AT

(MY SURNAME)@TELETU.IT

The DNA test has shown that the Author, who is descended from THOMAS GAY, and a great-grandson in New Zealand of EMILY LOUISA GAY PRANGLEY, who is descended from ISAAC REDMAN GAY I, himself possibly a son of JAMES GAY I - are related

The Author has therefore identified a possible joint ancestor for THOMAS and JAMES as GEORGE GAY I

This is of course partly speculation, but backed up by DNA evidence

Following the discovery of a possible new generation 1 with George Gay I, all other generation numbers have been increased by 1

The generation numbers shown below are the new numbers

EPHRAIM GAY

GENERATION

born about 1827, Broughton Gifford, Wilts^CENSUS

died 17 JAN 1885, Broughton Gifford, Wilts^CERT, age 58

married (1) 28 NOV 1849, Parish Church, Bradford on Avon, Wilts, ANN EARL, daughter of James Earl, cloth worker, and Catherine --

born about 1826, Holt, Wilts

died 1861~71

married (2) 14 JAN 1871, Independent Chapel, Holt, Wilts, CHARLOTTE FOX, daughter of Richard Wansey West Fox and Sabina Lasbury

born 23 JUN? 1848, Bradford, Wilts

died 24 DEC 1927, Ealing, Middx^CERT, age 79, buried 30 DEC 1927, Ealing & Old Brentford Cemetery, Ealing, Middx^BMD [died of chronic nephritis]

● The National Archives hold the following documents:

a) Ephraim Gay, born Wiltshire: Attestation papers to serve in the Royal Marines at Woolwich 1847 (when aged 21), Discharged [discharge date not given] as [discharge reason not given].

b) Ephraim Gay, born: Broughton, Wiltshire; Age at attestation: 21; Attested: Woolwich; Joined in: 1847; Discharge reason: Paid £20; Discharge year: 1850 (does this mean he PAID £20 to get OUT of the Royal Marines?)

● this would make him born around 1826

● in his first marriage certificate, 1849, he is described as a Marine

● the fact that he married the first time in the Parish Church, but second time in an Independent Chapel, suggests leanings towards the family’s eventual membership of the Plymouth Brethren – see GEORGE EDWARD GAY, BELOW

● the family moved to Bath, Somerset, 1891~1901^CENSUS, so leaving Broughton Gifford, Wilts

● there was another EPHRAIM GAY in Wiltshire at the same time, born about 1822, Staverton, Wilts, son of Ned Gay, married 24 DEC 1843, Trowbridge, Wilts, RUTH RICKETTS, daughter of John Ricketts, weaver ©, died 17 APR 1889 ©, Plymouth, Devon, variously described as cloth worker, agricultural labourer, saw sharpener, children Eliza, William – no apparent connection

● a great-granddaughter writes “I had heard that Charlotte Gay had been very poor and was "on the Parish" (receiving parochial relief), as Corsham is nearby and Auntie Vicky [Charlotte’s grandson Frederick Ephraim Alfred Day’s wife, Nancy Victoria Fitzgerald Day] had once sent me a postcard with a picture of her home on it

● nothing more is known about Ann Earl

● for the Australian family, see http://www.genealogy.com/ftm/a/d/a/Edward-J-Adair/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-Index.html#Gay, although this site does contain some errors and omissions

● Samuel Sawyer and Hannah Alford were not married until a year after Lydia was born, so her father might have been someone else – see below

● the above site has Lydia as Lydia Maud Sawyer, but the name Maud doesn’t occur anywhere else, and it has not been possible to contact the author of the site to check this point

● there is a family story that there is some connection to the family of Earl Spencer, Princess Diana’s family – nothing more is known, and the story doesn’t specifically mention this family, but certainly Spenser (Spencer) Fox’s name is strange – Fox is his paternal grandmother’s maiden name – could Spencer be the name of his maternal grandfather, ie. Lydia Alford later Sawyer’s real father? Why else would Lydia have called her son Spencer? No connection with the Spencers have been found in the official records, but other records might tell otherwise. The story also mentions Australia, where the family certainly emigrated to

● Henry and George Edward went to Canada, arriving APR 1906 on the PARISIAN (steerage)

● on 7 AUG 1906 they crossed the border into the USA at Detroit, bound for Indianapolis, Indiana

● George Edward returned to the UK, arriving 20 JAN 1908 at Liverpool on the CAMPANIA (3^rd class), but Henry is not listed^PASSENGER^LISTS

● unfortunately, the reason for their choosing Indianapolis is unknown – although their elder brother was living in Canada at that time, there is no evidence that they went to see, or stayed with, him – they did not give any addresses or names of relatives

● the date for Henry’s return to the UK has not been found yet

● the reason for this trip of several months is unknown – it can only be surmised that they went with a view to emigrating, but changed their minds

● George Edward’s daughter Monica Lillian thought they MAY have gone more than once, but so far only one trip has been found, and if they went with a view to emigrating but changed their minds, they would hardly have made more than one trip

● Henry and Edith Mary eventually moved to Ealing, Middx, sometime between 1911^CENSUS and 1921^{LILLY MAY BUNKER GAY’S DEATH CERTIFICATE}

● sometime before 1939^{PHONE BOOK, CENSUS} they moved to a big house at 101 The Avenue, which for years was almost a “family home” for their “grandchildren”

● together with his brother George Edward, Henry set up GAY BROTHERS, an engineering firm

● Henry and Edith Mary brought up George Edward’s children after the latter’s 1^st wife died

● Edith Mary visited the USA in 1952 - 45 years after her husband - departing 29 APR, arriving New York 5 MAY, and returning from Quebec, Canada, arriving 14 AUG

● on her US immigration form she stated she was visiting relatives (an E. A. Hood) in California, so it is unknown whether she visited any Gay relatives in the USA or Canada

● she travelled with a Charlotte R. Hunter of 26 College Close, Harrow Weald, Middx, housewife, age 65 (so born about 1887)

● in the 1926-36 Electoral Registers Albert and Charlotte R. Hunter were living at 40 St Kilda’s Road, Harrow, Middx

● Edith Mary had a sister, Charlotte Rachel Hood, born Q3 1886, Stoke Bishop, Glos – Charlotte R. Hood married Q4 1919, Uckfield, Sussex R/D, Albert Hunter, and at least 4 Hunter children, mother’s maiden name Hood, were born 1920-5 in Uckfield, Sussex R/D – one of these was Maurice Hunter, born Q2 1924 – family sources say Henry Gay’s niece, Marion Fowles, born 1916, married a Morris Hunter, so there MAY be some connection, or this MAY just be a coincidence – no Hunter/Fowles marriage has been found

● so it looks as though the 2 Hood sisters went to California to see their (Hood) relatives

(all this information taken from BMD, CENSUS, PASSENGER LISTS)

● in old age, Edith Mary and her companion, her husband’s niece, Edith Theodora Day, both moved to Barnstaple to be near the Day family

● Edith Mary died in the Park Lane Nursing Home a little while later

● Edith Theodora continued to live in their house until her death^FAM

● Lilly May’s father, Joseph Bunker VIII, appeared in court in 1883 for not having had her vaccinated – his 2xgreat-granddaughter comments: it'd be ironic if it was the vaccination against diptheria, that being what she died of less than 40 years later, in his own lifetime!

● George Edward belonged to the PLYMOUTH BRETHREN religious sect, so his daughters had a strict upbringing, and had little contact with their non-Plymouth Brethren relatives, which is why we know little about the latter

● George Edward’s great-niece writes “I think that the first Plymouth Brethren were the Gay brothers and my Granny Day [their sister Edith Gay Day]. Certainly my parents were, and also Auntie Dora [Edith Theodora Day]. My maternal grandparents also became Plymouth Brethren, and that is how my parents met”
