Gregory And Huse Connections
- White Waltham
Looking for the origins Thomas Gregory and Charlotte Bagley. Thomas was possibly born in Hughenden bucks and Charlotte in Kent although her family could come from Bucks also. There are strong Romany connections, indicated both by their trades and their childrens names and birth places. They are the parents of of Dorcas, who married Henry Huse and lived in White Waltham. Dorcas dies but left three daughters, Martha, Julia and Ann by a previous relationship living with Henry and his own children by her in White Waltham and later Littlewick Green. Can supply details of the descendents of Annie Gregory, one of these daughters.Two married under the name of Huse even though their birth certificates name them as Gregorys and a third daughter had two children both of whom also were known as Huse.
