Hi Alan.My late wife's grandmother was Jessie Gadd whose father was Ephraim James Gadd born 1863 in Boothby Graffoe and died 1.5.1924 in Wellington N.Z. Ephraim was the son of Benjamin Gadd born 6.6.1780 and he was the son of the Benjamin that you mentioned who died in 1802.
My records show that Benjamin's father as Benjamin Gadd born 1727 and the mother as Bridget born 1725.
I can give you further info about Ephraim and his family if required. Please feel free to email me direct at
