Eve Family Tree

[MiddleEnglander]

Hi Martin (and Findem) .....

I know it's pretty obvious, but have you checked for John Eve (or his descendants, or simply Coggeshall Eves) using Boyd's List (on-line, small fee) through the English Origins website - or maybe on the IGI Index, a copy of which should be on microfiche (freely) available at your main library ??

The advent of the internet during your 17 year break has totally changed the face of genealogy - so happy surfing !

Aye

Hi M E,
I have looked for my Thomas Eve but not in the online Boyd's, I used the Boyd's at the ERO when I was over there this year.  Of course he wasn't found in Boyd's, I haven't had much luck with Boyd's but I still keep trying. 

It seems that those ancestor's I have no trouble finding are in Boyd's but the difficult ones are not, am I being paranoid?

Hello Findem (and Martin) ......

It's a pity about Boyds.  It would still be worth Martin checking though, as he seems to have a slightly different line.

Again, I hope I'm not teaching mother how to suck eggs, but ....... I did have a quick search of the National Archive Online Documents service ( http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/ ) using "Eve" for 1600 through to 1750 and found a couple of intersting looking Wills.  If you haven't been there recently I recommend you have a look.

One Will struck me as particularly interesting, that being for Thomas Eve, Yeoman of Chignall St James dated 1666.  I know it's 50 years earlier than the time of your 'missing' Thomas Eve, but the proximity of High Easter to C St J and the traditional use of forenames makes it of some interest I'd have thought.  There were a couple of John Eve Wills too. 

As most wills mention children, so you may be able to work 'back to front' to get to your ancestors.

Certainly worth a look and may be worth the £3.50 a shot to look at one or two.

Aye

Hi M E,
Thanks for the tip off regarding wills, I'll give them a check sometime I think.

Yes it may be worth Martin trying his luck with Boyd's, being on a different line to mine he might get lucky.

Hi I am new today but trying to find a tree for the Eve Family of London and possible relationship with the Culpeper Family as my Grandmother told me about a family story about a link to Thomas Culpeper who had a liaison with Henry VIII's Queen Katherine Howard. Also a possible link to the late 1600's Governor Thomas Lord Culpepper of Virginia

Hi Marty,

Welcome to RootsChat,

Although this topic is martineve's I thought I'd stick my nose in, in between my last post on this topic dated 2 May 06 I haven't come across any link to a London Eve family, let's hope for your sake martineve might have.

Just in case the Eve you're looking for is an Essex stray, if you give me a name and an approximate date I'll check through my databases.

If you haven't already done so it might be worthwhile having a look on the site below.

If all else fails it would be advisable to put a post on the London & Middlesex board of RootsChat.

Regards and good luck.

Hi
Very interesting to read about all the EVE's out there.  My maternal Grandmother was an Eve they came from Loose/Maidstone in Kent.  Many of them moved up to Islington area at about 1860/70.  Be interested to hear from anyone else with Eves from that area.

Hi Bonnie,

Sorry but I have no info on any of my Eve line going to or coming from Kent or the now Greater London area of Middlesex.  All the research carried out by myself and another Eve co researcher was carried out on various Essex parishes.  Having said that there is of course the possibility that an Essex Eve could have gone to Kent and started a line there.  My Eve line goes back to the 1600s, that means there are a heap of ancestor siblings whose life, other than birth/baptism and possibly marriage, is unaccounted for, it would have been a mammoth task to follow up on siblings as well as one's own ancestors. 

If you come across an Eve with what you consider to be links to Essex you can if you wish throw a name and date/year at me and I'll check out my info.

If you haven't already done so I suggest you start a topic on the Kent board , add a few names and dates as well, of those you know were born and lived in Kent and perhaps on the Middlesex/London board for those Eves you know were there.  You might have more luck there I'm not too sure how many RootsChatters would trawl the Essex Completed Lookup requests.

Regards.
