Member Since: March 2005 Posts: 19 Send Message	I'm hoping somebody can point me in the direction of the family of a Walter Pyke who by 1651 had sons: John, Walter, William, and Thomas. I don't know where they lived, but they are named in a will dated 24 May 1651 by Robert Guy of "Dington" Gloucestershire [I reckon this is modern-day Doynton]. Robert's father was John Guy, a Bristol merchant and Member of Parliament. Between the wills of Robert and his father John, I can say that Robert had brothers William, Thomas, and John. As for sisters, the will of Robert's father John (written in 1625) refers to Mary Guy, Elizabeth Guy, and Margaret Petre. Robert's will only states surnames Cutt and Peidr [without giving his sisters' forenames], but also states that Walter Pyke (whose family I'm trying to locate) is his "brother". If anybody might have come across these people in church records, or know where they lived, etc., it would be much appreciated if you would let me know about them. Thanks, - David.
