Our Davy Family of the Philleigh Area


DAVEY—DAVY: The surname Davey or Davy has a number of various possible spellings which includes Davis, Davies, Davie, Daivy, Daivey, Daivie, Dayvy, Dayvie, Dayvey, Devy, Devie, and of course Davey and Davy. And when a 'Davey' family becomes difficult to detect, it is wise to suspect any such name variation needs to be looked for. The name is a patronymic surname of Hebrew origins, and much associated with Wales. It means 'the son of David', from the Hebrew male given name meaning "beloved". In one reference the name is said to first have appeared in Cornwall about the time of William and the Norman Conquest. At least that's were they first found it. It is an ancient name for sure and it the name of the patron Saint of Wales, St. David, who Nona of Altarnun was the mother of, which dates it back to the 6th century. There have been two Scotish king by the name of David and one of the most famous bearers of the name in Wales was David ap Gryffydd, the last Prince of Northern Wales who was exeuted c. 1276 by King Edward of England. Even our 'Hendower' name goes but to such as David de Hendower of Wales and from thence into the Walsh Princes of Powys. Oddly enough that we not only have two 'Davey' surname families in our ancestry but of late my father's sister, Aunt May married a Paul Davis. I don't know whether his family lines have connections to the 'Davey' family lines? It is possible.

   Though it is likely that at some distant point in time gone by the Davy family of Liskeard and the Davy family of Philleigh will find between themselves some common Davy ancestor, from the present information discovered, there is no immediate shared source of the two family's genealogy. Liskeard in more in the west and Philleigh is more in the east of the county of Cornwall as the displayed map does display. Already discussed in the Davy family of Liskeard is the Davy name's historical origins in the Celtic nations of England, namely Wales, Ireland, Scotland and Cornwall. And for futher such information I leave it at that and suggest referencing the Liskeard Davey page as well as ascerting one to look up Davy history in other sources as well. Certainly it is easy enough to do online by use of the internet.

On this Davy/Davey Family page I will begin with the most recent Davey family for there is no 'readily' provided connection to Davy family tie-ins as there were for the Liskeard Davy Family. As coincidence would have it, this Davey family also begins with a James Davey and his wife Anne/Ann, maiden name currently unknown. And this time for this first family, I will supply some of the 'transcribed' source data as from the first family there are conflicting bits of information here. And just because it is in 'print' on the internet, does not mean it is correct' as even what is said to be free is making it 'proprietary' if you read the small print of your 'free registration' commitment. How else to become 'in control' of what is out there and one's pedigree has always been such a dubious matter, often contrived to suit, and hide and manipulate. I can't even get one's email or at least they are warned about sharing it with others, as who knows, you favorite flavor of descent by be challenged. Anyway I will set out such sources as this 'pedigree' is based on and if you like my email is at the bottom, just be nice about it. Like Monk says, 'I could be wrong now.' I don't know if I'll ever join one of those genealogy facilitaing services, free or not, as it rubs me wrong that they seem to have a proprietary right to the 'shared' property one so willing provides them, though that has't stopped them from collecting such from countless other sources as well. Well off the soap box and on to the show:

James and Anne Davey Family ~ Fourth Great Grandparents ~


James married in Veryan where the name variation of Davies/Davis was in force. Though James signed the marriage entry himself as James Davey with a likely twist at the end, it was taken and entered by the clergy clerk as DAVIS. But there is a note to the effect as to how James signed his own name at the bottom of the extracted OPC marriage entry noting he signed as Daveys. The only other proposed canidate for this marriage is a 15/16 year old, baptism 1771 who has no children by Anne who they kill off in the 1790s without a solid burial entry in order to let their 'James Davis' to also marry a second wife, Susanna Thomas by who he has 5 children.
