EIGHTH GENERATION
Matthew (Matthias) VEUZEY / VAUZEY.
His occupation has been recorded as :-
- Gentleman's Servant (Marriage
1770)
-
Labourer (as guarantor on his son James' daughters Bastardy Bond
1790)1
His recorded addresses :-
-
Sunninghill, Berkshire (Marriage 1770, Children's Baptisms 1770 & 1772)
-
Winkfield, Berks (Childrens' Baptisms 1774 & 1789)
His son James was committed to paying child maintenance by the
issue of a Bond of Indemnification (Bastardy
Bond) by the Sunninghill Parish Officials.
Mathias was also
bound by the Bond, presumably as a guarantor for his son.
NOTE - at one stage the recording officer in the parish of
Sunninghill recorded the surname as WHEESY, a phonetic spelling of what
he thought he heard no doubt.
Matthias VEUZEY married Elizabeth BROMLEY on the 29
of May 1770 in St. George Hanover Square, London :-
"Matthias Veuzey
of the Parish of Sunninghill in the County of Berks Batchelor and
Elizabeth BROMLEY of this Parish Spinster were married in this Church by
Licence of the Archbishop of Canterbury".2
- The Marriage Licence & allegation record Matthais as per the
marriage entry with the additional information that Matthias was a
Gentleman's Servant, and they were both aged twenty one and upwards.
[Faculty Office Marriage Licence,
Archbishop of Canterbury, Lambeth Palace, London issued 28 May 1770.3]
Matthias is possibly the son of John VASEY however this
has not been confirmed :-
Saint Andrew, Holborn, London Baptismal Register -
23 May 1750 Mathew son of John & Jane Vasey, Saffron Hill.
A marriage of
the above parents is recorded in the marriage register of St. James Clerkenwell,
London :-
- John Vasey of the parish of St. Anne Blackfriars London batchelor
& Jane Flavill of St. James Clerkenwell spinster - married by Licence of the
Archbishop of London.
The licence gives John's occupation as a taylor aged
22, and Jane of age upwards of twenty one.
The fact that Matthew was a gentleman's servant and married a London
girl, combined with the proximity of London to Sunninghill, then it is
quite possible that he was originally from London. Together with the
uncommon surname combined with a first name that was not one of the
popular set then the above baptism is quite possible, however there is
no evidence at present to definitively connect the two.
Elizabeth BROMLEY was buried on
7 Apr 1790 in Winkfield, Berkshire. 2
Her recorded addresses :-
St. George Hanover Sq, London (Marriage 1770)
