Analysis of how the records could be arranged in a pedigree

Overview

  • There are three early marriages (of Thomas, John and Simon Pavey)
  • Florence Pavey could not be a legitimate child of either of the three early marriages but she could be a sibling of Thomas, John and/or Simon, she could be their mother, she could be a child of a sibling who married earlier
  • We have several more burials with no preceding marriage or baptism: Elizabeth (1544), Robert (1546) and Elin (1575). These could be children of Thomas and Joan since baptism records started after marriage records. Or they could be siblings or parents of Thomas, John and/or Simon.
  • It seems reasonable to assume that the Thomas buried in 1549 is the Thomas who married Joan.
  • We have 13 baptisms between 1548 and 1561. We can not be sure but it seems reasonable to assume that these are all children of one of the three preceding marriages. Only the first 3 could have been children of Thomas and Joan (but they could equally well have been children of John or Simon).
  • Not all of these 13 baptisms look like they could be children of a single set of parents since some are too close together (assuming that children were baptised soon after birth)
  • Simon and Rawlen were both buried in Westminster. It seems likely that they moved away from Yarcombe at some point. This makes it likely that the later baptisms are children of John. It might imply that all of them where there are further records showing them in Yarcombe are children of John since one would expect that Simon and Rawlen's children would have moved with them. There are two baptisms at the same church where Simon and Rawlen were buried: John and Edward. These could be children of Simon and Rawlen. Since Simon and Rawlen died young what would have happened to their young children?
  • There are 11 baptisms between 1577 and 1596. These all seem probable to be children of Charles. There could be a missing marriage or another married Pavey could have moved to the village but the most likely is that they are all children of Charles and the spacing of the baptism dates fits with that.
  • The missing burial records between Mar 1592 and Feb 1597/8 mean that many of these baptism records could be people who died in that period.

How the 13 baptisms between 1548 and 1561 fit with parents

  • We know that at least two fathers (John and Simon) most likely had some of these children
  • There is no need for Thomas to be a father - indeed Thomas could have been an older widower when he married
  • Since Simon moved away the inclination is to assign children who remained in Yarcombe to be children of John
  • Simon may have had two children in Westminster

This is one assignment that works (all dates New Style):

John (married 25 Apr 1547) Simon (married 28 Oct 1547)
John (16 Jan 1548) (d. Yarcombe 1555) Elizabeth (22 Feb 1549)
Hugh (2 Jul 1549) (d. Yarcombe 1550)
Charles (1 Oct 1550) (m. Yarcombe 1576 ) Alice (17 Jan 1551) (d. Yarcombe 1579)
Robert (20 Aug 1552) Christopher (20 Feb 1553)
Peternell (13 Oct 1553) (d. Yarcombe 1555) Thomas (4 Jul 1555)
Thomasin (29 Jan 1556) (m. Yarcombe 1579) Elizabeth (4 Sep 1556)
William (27 May 1558) John (9 Mar 1559, Westminster)
Margery (8 Jan 1561) Edward (2 Feb 1563, Westminster)

Note that both Charles and Alice remained in Yarcombe but they are baptised too close together to likely have the same parents.

Other spellings and similar names

Pavey was often spelled Pavy, Pavye, Payve or Pavie. Pavier in neighboring villages might be the same name.

It is often mistakenly transcribed as Paney or Parey. These are not names that appear to be in use in the area.

There are families with names that can look similar:

  • Parris, Paris, Parrish, Parrys
  • Pavys, Pavis. It is not obvious if this is an unusual spelling of Pavey or a separate name.
  • Pearce, Pears, Peers, Pers
  • Pane, Pain, Paine, Payn, Payne (Payne in particular can look like Payve)
  • Pane - sometimes a poor transcription of Sane or Zane.
  • Davy, Davey or Davie. This is a separate name that is in use locally but sometimes a Pavey is mis-transcribed as a Davey.

Possible origins of the Paveys in Yarcombe pre 1540

Prior to the start of parish records we have no knowledge of whether the Pavey family had lived in the Yarcombe area for generations or whether they were recent arrivals.

The Pavys of Bristol in the 1400s

William Pavy was an MP and merchant in Bristol. He died in 1466. He probably had a brother Thomas and both of them had children. One or more of these children might have moved to Yarcombe but we have no evidence of that so far.

It is even possible that the Robert Pavey who was a son of this William Pavy (mentioned in his will written in 1461) could be the same Robert Pavey who was buried in Yarcombe in 1546. But that seems unlikely, he would have been pretty old.

The forenames of the earliest Paveys in Yarcombe have some similarity to those of the Pavys in Bristol (particularly the name Hugh) but it could be coincidence.
