Fine too thanks - about to start a new job which will keep me away from RC more than I could wish!  :'(

Still wondering if your GAYs are related to mine?  Let me know if any of yours turf up in Monmouthshire!

Hi,
I am descended from Gays in the Bristol area, mainly Bitton and Siston.  In fact " separate Gay families from the same area!  Wonder if we connect.

One side goes back to a Thomas Gay who married Mercy Perryman in 1840 and had 8 children.  The other side goes back to George Gay who married Michal Hale in 1855.  Their son Henry Pearson Gay married Thomas and Mercy's daughter Amelia.  Henry and Amelia are my great grandparents.  Ring any bells?

Sorry I can't help you.   The information was for someone without a computer and I think it was just a side shoot of the family.

Very many thanks for your response but mine are from the Siston, Bitton and Oldland area of Bristol.  I am not able to link into any you mention but will bear them in mind as I continue the quest!!

Once again thanks for your help
