Frances,
My mother's parents were Thomas Neate and Julia Elizabeth Gage and I am seeking to establish her Gage ancestors. I have the following ,starting with Julia's parents:-
Wm James G b Damerham (1842/1903) m Sarah Yeates
James G b Damerham (1810/1896) m Judith Waterman
Mathew G b Damerham (1782/1827) m Jane Ambrose
John G b Damerham (1733/1806) m Elizabeth Thomas
Edward G (?/1774) b ? m Elizabeth ?
I have details of children but have shown parents only above.
I understand that Damerham was in Hampshire from 1895 and in Wiltshire prior to that. There seem to be some connections with Rockbourne, which, I believe, is and was in Hampshire. My CD of the Wilts 1851 Census lists only one Gage and he was a student at Marlborough College!
Mine is not a one name study, main interests are Neate, Gage, Yeates and Galvin.
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Joseph,
I have the VRI and there are 25 Gage's in Hampshire between
1720 - 1892 (with large gaps). Can you give more clues on your family or are you doing a one name study? There are 289 countrywide on the disc. Regards, Frances
