Did you ever find any information on William JOYCE?

According to information I have he was married to Elizabeth BARLOW on 29th Sept. 1713 at Norton Juxta Twycross in Leicestershire..

William JOYCE's parents were Nicholas JOYCE and Anne COULSON.
His siblings were Nicholas and Elizabeth. I do have more details, particularly of the JOYCE family but very little has been verified against available records - it all comes from hand drawn family trees.

Hi Willbard,

Sorry for that, my husband was on the site and I was so excited to get a reply I pinched the computer off him. Any info you can let me have would be a huge bonus for me.

Many Thanks

Hi Eileen

You can tell how experienced at this I am - I registered on this site in 2007 and this is my 2nd posting (you replied to my 1st).

I'm not sure how to proceed. This board appears to be for lookups and people responding to lookups. My information doesn't come from lookups but from a copy of a family tree produced by Matthew Ingle Joyce in about 1895, none of which I have verified.

The tree gives the following for William JOYCE:

Father - Nicholas Joyce of Ashby (Leic.), 1658-1711.
G. father - Nicholas Joyce of Blackfordby, d. 1698
Gg.father - William Joyce of Ashby, 1598-1659?
Ggg.father - Henry Joyce of Blackfordby, 1579-1602
Gggg.father - William Joyce of Gresley and Blackfordby, ? -1618
Ggggg.father - John Joyce of Blackfordby, ? -1572

Matthew Ingle JOYCE was a gg grandson of William and Elizabeth and was knighted in 1900.

Cornet (George) Joyce led the forces that captured Charles I in 1647 and is thought to be of the same Joyce family. He won't add much to your genealogy information but there are one or two interesting tales about him which Google will find.

The Joyce family were established around Blackfordby for many years and I think there are one or two references on the Blackfordby website.

Anyway I hope some of this helps.

Regards

Willbard

Hi Willbard,

Thanks so much for the info, I had read about Lt Col George Joyce, allegedly the executioner of Charles First, fled to Holland and came back as a Sarah, also down the opposite side of the tree to me, Sir Matthew Joyce high court judge. You have given me so much to fit in and at first clance it all seems to fit.
