    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.

    John Gaze 1791... help!?

    Read that Gingerjohn became was stuck (in 2009) at John Gaze 1790/1, who marries Mary Ann Duzmore in 1822 in St Martins in the Bullring. I am too! I am the granddaughter of Elizabeth Gazey 1878-1935, and I have been chasing the Gaze/Gazey/Gazay/Gazy/Gaze tree for the past 6 months. John Gaze...
