Lay family Great Oakley
« on: Sunday 15 February 15 17:46 GMT (UK) »
I have been researching the Lay family and am interested to know if there are any local histories of the Great Oakley area. The Lay family were mostly blacksmiths and the particular family I am researching are Daniel and Deborah Lay who had a son Daniel, baptized !752. From their wills they seem to have owned a fair amount of property and I hoped they might have been mentioned in any local histories. Just hoping for information to add to the tree. :)

Hi,
Source: Essex Society for Family History
Deborah LAY was buried at All Saints, Great Oakley, 18th April 1875.
Hope that helps?

Thanks. I have most of the BMD information but would like some local information to pad this out. Don't know if they were influential in Great Oakley but do know they have quite a large grave with railings, I know they had money but wondered whether they just had ideas above there station  ;)

Can't help with local histories, but the Lay family married into my Great Oakley Clover family in 1771. Any connection to your's?
