Hello All, I have recently joined the list to see if I can find out more about my JEFFERY family and the village of Medstead itself. My GG Grandfather was Henry JEFFERY born 1823 s/o Paul and Hannah Jeffery. Henry moved away from the family quite early on and married Mary ROBINS in Wootton, Northants in 1852 before settling in Walsall, Staffordshire in the mid 1850's. My GGG Grandparents were Paul JEFFERY born 1776 s/o James JEFFERY and Mary BUDD. Paul married Hannah. I have no definite proof yet but he may have married Hannah MARSHALL at Froxfield. James Jeffery was born c1739, perhaps in Alton. He married Mary BUDD who was the d/o William BUDD and Mary GARDINER. I would love to hear from anyone with connections to the families mentioned. Regards, Judy
