Hi, We are reseaching a James Gay who was said to be a rector at Upton Pyne during the early 1700s. There is however a James Gay who is listed as
father to four children [no wife named] in Meeth around this time and we wondered if it could have been the same person. He appears to have
married in Braunton in 1694 and was related back to the famous Gay family of Frithlestock. Our ultimate hope is to find a link to Martha Gay who was
born in Upton Pyne in 1791 who is in our family line through marriage.

We have also hit a brick wall with the Tozer Family. We have a William Tozer b. abt. 1755 in Devon. He married a Richorde Ferris b. abt. 1760 in Devon. They married as sojourners in Harford Church in April 1780, they were married by banns and the Vicar was also the vicar of Cornwood. We have been trying to find both William and Martha's parents without success. Any help would be much appreciated.
