hi Helen,
I am the youngest son (of six) from the Gascoignes of Sulgrave, where the family were blacksmiths and farriers, as in many surrounding villages. My twin still lives in the village. Frank over at Middle Barton was my great uncle.
Do let me know if you want more information.

Best wishes
Jon

Any dates to help us? Please!

Is the spelling correct? Gascoigne is more usual

If you're hoping for connections on here, start by looking under 'search all member trees'

I am trying to trace the Gascoinge Family from Sulgrave or Morton Pinkney.
Also Frank Gascoinges family who was a Blacksmith in Little Heyford Oxfordshire
I was in touch years ago but lost touch when I moved
Also any relative of Harry Shellard who married our Auntie Evelyn Louisa Barnes from Stratford upon Avon
I think he came from somewhere near Sulgrave as I remember the funeral was at Sulgrave village church
