I'm Alan Gagg & I come from a large extended Gagg family which we thought came from  the South London area of England. Early research

 showed that  members of our family were living in Westminster, London in the late 1700's. Since the late 1700's our family  have lived in the city of

 London & spread out through London - Kent - Wales - Ireland - Canada & various other parts of England.
The earliest Gagg we have found so far in London was born in 1540 approx. Ralph Gagg born around 1280-90  in Leicestershire is the earliest Gagg

I have found so far.
Other members of the 'Gagg Family' are in Yorkshire - the Midlands - The West Country - Australia & The USA, Germany, Canada, Brazil, Switzerland & were

in Barbados and France . We are all working to find the common link so please help with any info you can.
Alan M Gagg.

Since I wrote this at the beginning of 1999 a lot more info on the various families has been found out and  now in May 2006 with the invaluable help

of Joan Mason in Canada and the members of the rootsweb mailing list who have given me so much help I have  the Topott link to my family which in turn

 gave us the missing link to  the Misterton Gagg family. John Gagg born in 1759 in Misterton married Elizabeth Topott  at St Marys  Notts in July 1783.

Their son John Gagg  was baptised at St George Hanover square London on March 6th 1786.I still have not found when their other son ( my gt gt gt grandfather)

Thomas Topott Gagg was born but we have narrowed down the time span  to 1793-5. The London family is linked to  the Devon families & the Misterton families.

Which includes the Sheffield, Hull & Grimsby Gagg families.

Thomas Topott Gagg a Landscape and Portrait painter moved Back to Nottingham with his  second wife Ellen. One of their sons Edward Topott Gagg with his

wife Jane also moved back there.

It also appears that the Gagg name was in Devon in the early to mid 1200's.

 

I'm Andrew Gagg, I come from what I used to think was a small bit of the family, which originated in Misterton in Nottinghamshire, England where there are Gagg's going back to the 1600's in the parish records, according to my late father's information.

I now live in Worcester, UK & I have a brother Michael who lives in Halesowen, near Birmingham UK.
Please contribute anything you like that's connected with the Gagg family.
I would love to think that we are all related - 
We are well on the way to proving this!

I recently contacted Linda (Gagg) born in Dulwich.It seemed strange to see Linda's name and know  that my cousin Linda Gagg was born in camberwell a couple of miles away from  Dulwich  a year earlier.

Exchanging information we found that Linda's family belong to the Torquay/Stoke Gabriel family.

I will soon be updating the family tree for that part of the family onto the website.

Maxine Graville also got in touch and gave us some more information on the Misterton family.

Carol (Gagg) daughter of George Robert Gagg of Misterton contacted me recently, her father  is now living with Linda and her family, she added a lot to the Misterton tree which will be updated soon.

March12th 2007, Tony Warner and Naisby Noble both got in touch recently at that point neither knew of the other. Since the initial contact they find they share the same Misterton Ancestors  and have been adding much information to the family tree.

Tony visited his mother and got much more information including photos, letters, sketches postcards and certificates which he is sending over to add to the site.

Some are already on the site others will be added over the next few days.

The main link for these is: family photos sketches and letters

We are most grateful for all of the help that Tony and Naizby are giving. There will in due course be updated family trees in PAF and GED formats on the site for you to download.
