Oakley-Ambrose-Jarmin family

Over the last few years, a fascinating discussion has been taking place concerning the possible Romany-Gypsy links with Glemsford family names. A new entry has just been made - follow the link from the title.

Ince, Oakley and Jarmin families

Jack Ince has been in touch:
I moved to Thetford 6 years ago and started researching my ancestors 2 years ago at the age of 78.

I was sursprised to find that my roots on my father`s side were in Clare, going back to John Inch 1660 and Glemsford.

In Glemsford my ancestors go back to Jarmin Oakley 1773-1847 via his daughter Elizabeth1817-1881

Through Jarmin his father Samual 1742 who married Elizabeth the Jarmins..
Looking at the web I came across your web site.

I wonder if there are any Oakleys or Jarmins still living in Glemsford? I have about 300 on my tree but I come to a dead end around 1900.
Any information about your society any the Oakleys and Jarmins in particular will be most welcome.

As usual, if you can help Jack, please get in touch via me.

Can someone answer a question for me?

During research into my Jarmin family history I have identified an ancestor that is recorded on ancestry.co.uk as "Johes Jarmin, son of Sir Ambrose who married Alice Elliot".
I have no documentary proof that Johes is the father of my ancestor other than the numerous entries on many online family trees.

I have tried to find 3rd party confirmation of the lineage and have checked the Jarmin entry in "The baronetage of England by William Betham" published in 1803. However, it makes no mention of a Johes as a son of Sir Ambrose but it does mention a John who married a Margaret Stanley and it also says that John died without children.

I know that poor entries on ancestry.co.uk can be replicated at speed and soon become 'fact' and I wondered if this mysterious Johes is one such entry.

Can anyone shed any light?

Rory has added a fascinating comment to the Oakley, Ambrose, Jarmin family thread.

He also refers to an earlier comment he made about the origins of Little Egypt. I've included that on a page of its own, which you can find at this address.

Oakley, Ambrose, Jarmin family

Jane Davey is looking for info on these families:

"My granny was Elizabeth Oakley (1891) and her mum was Eliza Jane Jarmin (1864) , daughter of Jane Jarmin (1845). I can't find any record of Jane's marriage to anyone. Jane's parents were William Jarmin (1792) and Martha Boreham (1802). My great grandad was Henry Oakley (1831) who married Emma Ambrose (1840), but I've come to a halt with Emma's family. Any info would be great.

I'm also interested in a particular christian name that keeps appearing in the census and family info - Mahala. Several of my female ancestors had this name and it's reallly unusual even today - if anyone knows why this name was so popular in Glemsford I'd love to know too!"

As always, if anyone can help, please make your initial contact through me.

Jarmin, Everitt families

I am looking for info on the Jarmin & Everitt families from Glemsford.

I have recently discovered this family name in our tree & notice that for many generations they lived there.

Some names are: Thomas Everitt B 1755, Elizabeth Everitt B 1784, Dorcas Jarmin b 1725, Thomas Jarmin b 1702.

Anything would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.
