During my early genealogical research looking for my dad, Robin Gregory’s ancestors I traced a branch of Gregory’s to Elton in Derbyshire. They were also found in the nearby villages of Stanton, Birchover and Youlgreave.
Joseph::Yeoman
He Bought Botham’s house in 1773, and died before 1801
The oldest son called Abraham

Gregory, Charles::Smokehouse Deeds-1867
Owned land at the North side of the old smokehouse. This land previously belonged to Mr Barnatt.
1780

1802

but written in 1822.
Regarding the allocation of enclosures.

William-126,132,44,5

Mrs Burnett also researched some of the Gregorys from Baslow. Amongst her notes were details that::-
in the will of Robert Gregory, The Elder.
Humphrey owed 7+6pence to James of Baslow in 1691. (whether or not this is our James is to be decided). Also, this draws attention to a strong possibility that these Baslow Gregorys could well have been in contact with my (birth family ancestors) the Marsden’s who lived in Baslow for many generations before leaving for Ireland.
