Hi Everyone, I can throw some light on the Tangye Family, My great grandfather worked for Sir Richard Tangye as his bailiff.
My great granfathers daughter from his first mariage was married too Sir Richards ,Groom,
Sir Richard Tangye ,lived for awhile at Gilbertstone House, Yardley,Birmingham, Rather a large place on many acres.
Richard along with his brothers set up the engineering business in smethwick,birmingham , called "Cornwall Works"
He was born in Cornwall near Redruth 1833- 1906, I do have more information and there are census details available.
