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.
