Wiltshire / Re: 1823, Burbage, Wiltshire - NOYES
« on: Friday 02 March 12 14:16 GMT (UK)  »
John 'Noyes' was baptised John Hope, although his father was Thomas Noyes.  Thomas Noyes was married to Mary Lea and had 10 children before she died.  Sarah Tarrant married Phillip Hope who immediately disappeared. She took up with Thomas after his wife died and produced 7 more children, one of them John.  Some of them called themselves Hope and others Noyes.

I think I may have the answer. John was born in Burbage in 1804.  His father was Thomas Noyes.  However, Thomas married Mary Lea and they had 10 children before Mary died.  He then took up with a lady called Sarah Hope. Sarah's husband Philip Hope disappeared shortly after their marriage, so she was not free to marry again. She bore Thomas Noyes seven children, one of them John.  These children sometimes called themselves Noyes and sometimes Hope, so if you look for John Hope you will probably find him.

I am descended from Thomas Noyes and his wife Mary through their son Septimus.

Best wishes

Elizabeth Noyes
