Unconnected Amey's of Cambridgeshire and Essex ---------------------------------------------- The following branches of Amey's have not yet been connected to the main tree originating from Great Abington, Cambridgeshire, however given the rareness of the name and that almost all these occurances are in a small geographical region, it is likely that they are related.

The relationships below between the first three generations are speculative. Richard and Roger are almost certainly brothers. Thomas may be their father, or he may have been a brother who died young. Laurence is almost certainly the son of either Richard or Roger, the latter appears more likely given the christian names used amongst Laurence's descendents. 1. Thomas Amey. Probably born before 1470. Was sworn in as a juror in the Linton Court 1509/1512, 1513 and 1514.[4] Was crossed off the juror list in 1515 and was noted to have 'died since the last court'.[4] Thomas was a landowner (held a tenement).[4] Roger Amy was present at Thomas' deathbed, where he was given a message (presumably of some legal nature since it is mentioned in the court rolls) to be given to Henry Clement alias Boucher.[4] Henry and his son, John, had subsequent dealings with Richard and Roger.[4] Was Henry a son-in-law or brother-in-law of Thomas? Children of Thomas Amey: i. Richard Amy,[4] born before 1494.[4] Was sworn in as a juror in the Linton Court 1509/1512, 1516-1518, 1523, 1533-1536, 1538 and 1540.[4] He was 'essoined' in 1513.[4] Referred to as a property owner in 1515.[4] In 1524, 1525, 1527, 1528, 1529, 1531 and 1532 was listed in the court rolls as "Richard Amy capital pledge: Roger Amy homage".[4] In 1528 Richard bought just over 8 acres of land from Thomas Kerto for the sum of 10 marks.[4] He was fined 4d for allowing his cows to trespass in 1531.[4] The same year he "and his heirs" received from Roger Amy an acre of land formerly the property of the late William Cartram.[4] In 1534 he was fined 1d for keeping a pig against an ordinance.[4] In 1535 he appeared in court over a quarrel with John Boucher.[4] In 1540 Richard transferred 1/2 acre of arable land to John Bentley.[4] This was the last reference to Richard being alive. In 1550 he was referred to as the "late Richard Amy".[4] * ii. Roger Amy,[4] born before 1497.[4] {1.1} 1.1. Roger Amy,[4] born before 1497.[4] Was a baker and brewer.[4] Was sworn in as a juror in the Linton Court 1518, 1519, 1540, 1547 and 1551-1553.[4] He was 'essoined' in 1534 & 1539.[4] He was present at the deathbed of Thomas Amy where he was given a message (presumably of some legal nature since it is mentioned in the court rolls) to be given to Henry Clement alias Boucher.[4] In 1524, 1525, 1527, 1528, 1529, 1531 and 1532 was listed in the court rolls as "Richard Amy capital pledge: Roger Amy homage".[4] In 1527 Roger "and heirs" aquired a parcel of land (tenement), used as a garden, from Henry Clement alias Boucher.[4] In 1529 and again in 1531 Roger was fined 3d for 'breaking the assize by baking and brewing'.[4] In 1519 he aquired an acre of land from William Cartram, which he transferred to Richard Amy "and heirs" in 1531.[4] In 1532 Roger appeared before the court for trespass with animals (fined 2d), breaking wood in Lynton Wood and for owning a 'ferocious' dog, which he was ordered to remove from the town or keep it safely under a penalty of 6s 8d.[4] Children of Roger Amey: * i. Laurence/Lawrence Amy,[4] born before 1530.[4] {1.1.1} 1.1.1. Laurence/Lawrence Amye,[4] born before 1530.[4] Possible son of Roger Amy. Laurence's will was dated 17/4/1575 and executed 28/9/1575.[4] 'Held a parcel of a tenement and of land late Colls and afterwards Gardyners.'[4] The majority of Laurence's estate was left to his son, Roger.[4] An additional sum was left to his widow 'for 12 years charged with £6.13s 4d. to [daughters] Anne and Margerye, with the remainder to Arthur.[4] Married Alice.[4] Alice, formerly of Hinxton, Cambridgeshire,[4] had died by 11/10/1581.[4] At the time of her death she was the holder of a tenement, upon which was a 'Kylhowse' (kiln house?) which had been allowed to 'fall into disrepair and become a ruin.'[4] Upon her death, the tenement was transferred to her son, Arthur.[4] Children of Laurence and Alice Amye: i. Roger Amy, born 1551.[4] Heir of Laurence Amye.[4] Upon the execution of Laurence's will, Roger surrendered the property so that it could be granted to Alice, widow of Laurence, and Arthur, the second heir & son of Laurence.[4] Roger was alive 24/10/1616 when he appeared in court as the co-owner with Elizabeth Moore, deceased, of a tenement in Fullingmill St, Ickleton.[5] Roger was listed as a churchwarden, Great Chesterford, Essex, in 1616.[8] Died 27/9/1632, Great Chesterford, Essex.[8] Married Elizabeth.[8] Elizabeth died of the plague, 28/9/1625.[8] ii. Arthur Amye.[4] Born before 1560. Was sworn in as a juror in the Linton Court 1583-1585, 1587-1590.[4] In 1586 he appeared before the court and was ordered to repair a fence between his yard and that of Richard Whyskyn, under a penalty of 5s.[4] In 1587 Arthur transferred part of his land to Reginald Trygge and in 1592 he transferred 'half' of the remainder to William Coke.[4] Latter that year Arthur and his family had relocated to Ickleton.[1] He was 'essoined' in 1592.[4] In 1598 Arthur sold the remaining part of the Linton lands to Robert Brand.[4] Married Alice Williamson, 16/4/1581, Linton, Cambridgeshire.[1] Children: a.

Hugh Amye, died before 1616.[5] Hugh's widow, Elizabeth Moore (did she remarry?) was co-owner of a tenement with Roger Amey.[5] **************************************************** Ickleton, Cambridge: ------------------- Ickleton lies near the Essex-Cambridgeshire border, to the west of Great Abington. From shared christian names and also the connection with one branch of the Hildersham-Linton Amey's, it is probable that this family is connected to those Amey's. Henry is possibly a younger brother of John of Hildersham. 1. Henry Amy, born about 1550/1555.

Of the three known sons, Charles, Edward and Mark, Mark would seem to be too old and the name Edward does not appear amongst the descendents of Charles, c.1730, leaving Charles (1702) as the most likely candidate for Charles (c.1730)'s father}.

The Bottisham-Burwell region is nearby and it is possible that family is connected with those of Gt Wilbraham and Teversham, however no obvious link has been found.
