Thanks Alan,
My wife is descended from the marriage of Thomas Joy and Mary Parsons. They had four children; John c/b 2 Feb 1721 in Hindon; William Nicholas 28 Jul 1723; Edward 14 Jan 1726 and Elizabeth abt 1727. It is through that John Joy that Thomas is her 6th Great grandfather.
It would be interesting to see your Joy family, please. I do not have mine on any site though, but can always send you a report directly if you wish.
