Eve Family Tree

[martineve]

Hi,

I am looking for descendants of the line of John Eve from Felsted b. 1615. My ancetsors later moved to Little Goggleshall then eventually to Whitechapel, London.

Thanks,

Martin

Hi Martin,

In the Fewell topic you queried if I have any Eve ancestors, I thought it best to respond here, I do have an Eve line although I have not found any links to the locations you mentioned.

My Eve line is currently bogged down looking for the marriage of Thomas Eve and Martha Green.  They obtained a licence to marry at High Easter within 2 weeks of 1st April 1740, no marriage found in High Easter PRs.

They raised their (known) children in High Easter, my Eve line stays there until around 1819 when it moved to Gt Waltham and stayed there to at least around 1860.  My line ends in 1862 when Deborah Eve my gt gt grandmother married into my Card Line.

Although I haven't come across any links of my Eves to the locations of your Eves, I have collected a couple of female Eve baptisms at Gt Waltham, 1829 and 1832 in my "Spares" database.

You may have already found the following Evetree site which contains a heap of Eve info but in case you haven't, here is the address:

Hi,

Sorry I can't help with the Fewell line as I went into Google and typed in Eve family Gt Waltham and it came back with the thread of your Fewell conversation.

I am new to this website and literally got back into looking up the ancestors last week after a 17 year break! Yes, I got most my info from the website you mentioned and I am now building on that. Is Thomas Eve on the website and which ancestor does he follow?

Regards,
Martin

Hi Martin,

On the page that appears when the link I posted is clicked on, if you scroll down to Essex and then click on "Tree of Thomas Eve 2 (High Easter) you will see Thomas (abt) 1720 and Martha.

My line is:-
Thomas Eve (circa 1720) & Martha Green

Weston (1749) Eve & Sarah Wheal

George Eve & Susanna Adams, their daughter Deborah married William Card.

You will note that in the Evetree site they show Weston (1749) Eve marrying Lucy Woods which is incorrect, Lucy married Weston's brother Abraham, the site also has Lucy marrying Abraham.  I reported the error a long while ago and whilst the author acknowledges the error she is apparently having a hard time getting the site owner to correct the error.

Unfortunately Thomas Eve's ancestry is currently a mystery, the author of that and other Eve lines has searched for a long while and in many places but not found the baptism or marriage of Thomas.  I've triple checked High Easter PRs to satisfy myself the marriage is not there, as well as searching elsewhere.  I have a horrible feeling this is one of those cases where the clerk failed to record the marriage in the parish register.  Luckily they obtained a licence to marry so at least we know the bride's full name.  I think the only way I'm going to progress with Thomas is to keep my eye open for him at any place in Essex I search for other ancestors around 1720 for baptisms and 1740 for marriages.

Who are your Gt Waltham Eve ancestors?

Regards.

Hi,

I believe my Gt Waltham links are from Andrew Eve b. 1710 in Felsted married Susan Clarke. It seems they must have moved to Gt Waltham as my next descendant was Charles Eve b. 1748 Great Waltham.

His family them moved to Coggleshall where he died. They lived there for another 4 generations before they moved to London late 1800's where my grandfather and father were born.

Hi Martin,
Thanks for the outline of your Eve line,  as your Eves moved out of Gt Waltham before my lot moved in there doesn't seem to be a link.  I've noticed that sometimes a family will move to a parish and before long related families move in too.

I suppose there is still a possibility of a link between our Eves, my earliest known ancestor is Thomas Eve born circa 1720, currently neither myself nor others can say where he was born.  In my tree there has been quite a bit of traffic between parishes in that neck of the woods e.g. Felsted, Gt Waltham and the Easters.  I noticed the name Charles crops up in your Eves, it occurs quite a few time in my Eve families.  Of all my many branches the name Charles only appears to have been "handed down" through generations in two families, Eve and Theobald, it might pay me to check Felsted for a Thomas Eve.

Regards.

Hello.
This is the first time I have written to anyone on this site: it's mainly my husbands territory.
I am an Eve by birth (by adoption!) and have always lived in and around mid and north Essex.
I thought it might be helpful to tell you the place name is actually Coggeshall.
I have looked briefly at my Eve line and it's difficult as both my parents died quite young but I will keep an eye out and I am more than happy to help any people with Essex work that might be difficult for them to arrange. (up to a point!)
Best wishes as you take this forward.

Hi Piper,
Thanks for that.
My wife and I have been to Coggeshall quite a few times, whenever we revisit Essex we usually take a drive there.  Since living in Australia I've been to Coggeshall more times than when I lived in Chelmsford.
Through my ancestors I have quite a strong link to Coggeshall, my grandmother Annie Card nee Harris was born and raised in Coggeshall.  Annies father Joseph Harris was a Miller at I believe the Abbey Mill, his father was an Iron founder at Coggeshall.  Michael Dalton and his father Michael were Blacksmiths there, other Coggeshall names are Potter, Aliston, Anthony & G(J)epp.

As you may have read, my ancestors are so far High Easter and Gt Waltham based although the earliest known ancestor Thomas Eve circa 1740, came from elsewhere.  If you get to either of those parishes with your research let me know and perhaps I can help you.  I do have the odd one or two Eves from East Hanningfield, Gt Burstead, Maldon, Saffron Walden and a few from Roxwell.  So far no link apparent to mine but one day who knows.
There is an Eve family site of which you may be unaware, it has quite a number of different Eve branches from various locations.
