Gale ~ Second Generation

    Issue of Joseph Gale and Grace Davenport  
1.   Ann GALE
Bap of Ann Gale 8 Apr 1752 at Oadby, Leicestershire, dau of Joseph & Grace (ref fmp Parish Registers image).

Marriage 24 Jun 1776 at Burton Overy dist, Leicestershire of Ann Gale to John LANGHAM; John was of the parish of Wigston Magna, Ann of the parish of Burton Overy; Banns; witnesses "William Southworth Lee Gregory Southworth Whyley" (unsure of split of names), also George Lee, John Matlock (ref fmp Leicestershire marriages image). There are three John Langhams baptised at Wigston Magna within a few years; the earliest, baptised 4 Nov 1753, son of John, seems most likely. John baptised 1756 died young, and John bap 1757 seems a bit young compared with Ann.

This Ann is the only Ann Gale baptised near that time in the vicinity of Burton Overy. For the purposes of this tree I have assumed it is the same person.

Probable burial of Anne Langham 2 Dec 1803 at Wigston Magna (ref fmp). The record states "Anne W. of John Langham".
