So the Coventry lot go back to Aston and back to Gloucestershire. It's been suggested that it is preferably to revive old threads rather than creating new ones for the same family so here goes (i'm just waiting for someone to kick off about that!)

We go back to Gloucestershire, knocking about in Stroud, Dursley, Tetbury etc. I've been strict about following parish records and I have the following - I'm open to disagreement :-)

Charles Talboys born in Cam, Gloucesyershire was born in 1781 and married Ann Bower.

Charles Talboys' Father was Thomas Talboys born in 1753 in Cam who married Mary Brown/e. Thomas had a Brother Daniel born in Cam in 1747 (best guess from parish records fitting).

Thomas Talboys' Father was Benjamin Talboys born in 1732 down the road in Uley, Gloucestershire who married Mary Hale.

Benjamin Talboys' Father (there are two Benjamin Talboys of different generations) was Richard Talboys who married Hester Longden. Richard was born in 1699 in Tetbury, Gloucestershire.

Richard Talboys' Father was (and this is where it gets tricky) detailed as Francis on Richard's Baptism Certificate, however, the spelling appears to be the female version - I have gone on the presumption that Frances/Francis was the Dad however as Baptism Certificates usually list at least the Father *unless Father died soon after Richard's birth) and spelling wasn't great back then (or we are no good at spelling now!).

Where it now gets tricky is there are no male marriages for Francis to a female, only for female Frances marrying a male in Gloucestershire and i've also looked UK wide. One did come up in France for the time period but I can see no links back to the UK and it's way too late to have the family migrating from France! We know from history that that comes much, much earlier.

Francis' Father is Richard Talboys. Again, interesting, the only Richard Talboys Baptism that actually fits is one on 13 Dec 1644 at Saint Clement Danes, Westminster, Middlesex, England. So, is the link before Gloucestershire actually London.

Any thoughts, no issue with being disproved!

Thanks :)

Interesting read. Suspect I am descendant from the Coventry branch. Father Malcolm Talboys and grandparents Alfred and Margaret. Little more known I'm afraid but looking to trace it back.

Thanks,

Wonder if they are the parents of Malcolm Talboys born 1947 and married Geraldine Talboys 1977. Seems possible from the dates.

Thank you,
Matthew Talboys

Look at Malcolm’s birth on freebmd……that was my starting point

Malcolm Talboys married Geraldine Harris

Alfred Charles was living in Ashby de la Zouch when he died on 2nd Feb 2002, He was buried in Yardley Cemetery on 15th March 2002

Awesome thank you! Yes that is correct. Malcolm was my father and then married Geraldine. I look forward to delving deeper. I've vague recollections of my grandmother assume it's rose talboys from above stating she got back to 1066! Lost in time now sadly but will try my best. Thanks for helping me get started :-)
