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 and Linda 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 any earlier ancestors in the surviving records. Our Gloyns moved from Pyworthy to Plymouth around 1800, where the later generations were found.
Some of the names below are linked to a more detailed record in the on-line family tree (people marked with an asterisk do not have a full record).

There you can see the family relationships as we understand them, together with notes on what we have found in parish registers, census returns and other records. All the places named below are in Devon unless otherwise indicated.
