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 .Since I wrote this I have found another reference to a Gagg living in Cornwall in the mid 1200's.

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!
