My 6th great grandparents were Esdras Giddy, (son of Esdras, son of Esdras) and Constance Dionythorne who married 1698 in Liskeard Cornwall.

Margaret :)

I just found out about my relation to Esdras today, receiving a copy of the family tree my cousin compiled. Below are some more details i can give you.

And the original Esdras was married to a woman named Joan YEVENS. They both died around the year 1646

Esdras Giddy, was born before Jun 21, 1669 in Liskeard Cornwall. He died around 1726, in Liskeard.

Constance died about 1750, in Liskeard. I don't know when she was born.

They were married at St. Martins Church on January 3rd.

Below is a picture of St. Martins.

Hi MJB-Toronto,

Yes, we are definitely descended from the same line - how wonderful that you found RootsChat! Welcome. :D Great to meet you  8)

I am descended from Esdras and Constance's son John Giddy (Bp. 5 Feb 1706 Liskeard) who married Philippa Truscott (Bp. 16 Mar 1714). They married 4 Nov 1734 at St.Cleer Cornwall England.

Their son William Giddy bp. 27 Apr 1743 who married Frances Cawl/Cole (bp. 29 Apr 1759) They married 19 Apr 1795 at St. Neot.

Their son John Giddy/Gedye and Ann Thomas.

Thank you so much for posting the photo of St. Martins Church, this is great because I wasn't aware that Esdras and Constance were married there.

Hi Michael,

I've sent you a PM and just realised that you may need to have at least 3 posts to receive it.

Lucretia comes from a Roman family name, and Zeno is a Greek name, meaning "stranger"!

I see you have Johnson amongst your list what are you looking for?
