The Gloyn Family in Devon

This page lists those members of the Gloyn family whose origins we are researching. Entries in italics are inferred or uncertain, or have been supplied by other researchers and not personally verified by us. The list does not include children known to have died in infancy. In our line the usual spelling is Gloyn, but the name appears as Gloyne in many records. Please contact Chris Warren if you feel that the family listed here is connected with your own research.

This Gloyn family lived in the area around Holsworthy in north-west Devon. The earlier generations were found in the registers for several nearby parishes. We have traced the line back to the marriage of John Gloyn and Joan Gilbert in 1714, but we have not found anything before that in the surviving records. Our direct Gloyn ancestors moved from Pyworthy to Plymouth around 1800. The later generations on this page also lived in the Plymouth area.
