I am not related to them in any way but as I am researching the history of the village of Garlinge I do have references to a number of them in my records. These are the census records of all the people who lived in Garlinge 1841-1901 and the Sayer family are the fourth largest group in the village after the Solly/Solley family who are the third largest. Part of the Solly family are part of my family history. The local history aspect is my main interest, I haven't really researched my family history yet. I have also researched details regarding Garlinge at the records centre at Whitfield, and the family of Sayer are the earliest known (so far) residents of the village, they are first recorded in 1530 as Sayer/Sayers, they seem to have disappeared by 1600, mainly due to female heirs only and their marrying into other families. Thank you for the information that Emma Anne Solley became Emma Anne Sayer through marriage and that Mary Ann Wellman became Mary Ann Sayer through marriage. I can update my records for these because obviously the census does not contain that information, single women who suddenly disappear from a census are probably still there, but under their married name. I note that Emma Anne Sayer was still living in the village in 1901, alone at 1 Kemps Cottage, in the High Street. If any of this is of interest to you or you want to know anymore about these Sayer's who have Garlinge connections please get in touch and I will see what I have on them.
