    The Gazeys of Weston Sub-Edge, Glos.

    PS from Stargazey to the post above. The children of Walter George 1859 and his wife Ellen 1861, are listed in Findmypast as Garyers ... Joseph, Ellen, Thomas and Jane. This might just be a spelling mistake or mishearing, but it might have hampered the search in some cases. Stargazey

    The Gazeys of Weston Sub-Edge, Glos.

    I wanted to post something that has cropped up in my Gazey Tree, about George Gazey 1802, George Gazey Jnr 1834, and Walter George Gazey 1833, as I have seen posts chasing these people and/or their descendants. George Gazey 1802-1875 was borne to Jane Gazey 1778, who was the first child of...

    John Gaze 1791... help!?

    Hello Lynn, it’s Stargazey. Would you know if Pat Heming is still a member of the BHF? Just now I looked again at exchanges on the General Discussion Forum - where I originally saw Gingerjohns enquiry about John Gazey - and saw that a Pat Heming replied to him in 2009 about her Gazey ancestors...

    John Gaze 1791... help!?

    Hi Lynn ... just to report that - at last - I have cracked it! It wasn’t Moses and Ann in Bulkington, that were the parents of John Gazey, it was Thomas Gazey 1752 and Mary Powers 1752 in Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire. I did have some help from The Midland Ancestors Shop in Birmingham. £5...

    John Gaze 1791... help!?

    Ps Bulkington, I read, had a big cottage industry in ribbon weaving. An off shoot from nearby Coventry’s silk weavers (J & S Cash who produced clothes labels were in Coventry). It ended when a large group (Huguenot descendants I think) sailed off to Canada. But was latter revived in an...

    John Gaze 1791... help!?

    Hello Lynn ... Its Stargazey (actually Janet Wallac nee Millard as I was in Brum). Wanted to tell you that it looks like you are right about Moses and Ann being John Gazey’s Dad. Learnt recently that the 1841 Census rounded down all dobs by 5 years, so my John Gaze’s dob was more likely to be...

    Birmingham Nightclubs of the Past - Memories

    It’s Stargazey here .... and I would like to reply to Kenneth Wanstall as well as SylviaSayers. My ‘going out dancing’ career started very quietly at the Church Youth Club on Hodgehill Common about the time the Beatles had their first hit. And being at Hodgehill School, which I overlooked the...
