The Esaias Family The Esaias family became of interest to me due to John Esaias marrying Mary Gething in 1811, who is in one of my main interest groups. The family were established in Margam before 1700. The name is not of British origin. Only a handful of people with the name exist in the UK in 1881. The IGI shows Finland, Holland and Germany with this surname. From the records so far, there were three family groups producing children between 1731 and 1743. These could well have been three brothers. From that time Esaias's appear without baptismal entries, but time wise thay could all be children of the above three. As the name is so rare and localised, it is with a fair degree of confidence that these are all one family group, even if the records don't exist to support this fact.
The
following tree is a "best-fit" tree and needs more evidence
for the earlier part to be confirmed. |
