John Voysey (1788-1878) is the earliest Voysey in our family tree that has been identified. Little is known of him, other than that he was a cobbler. The grave of John and his wife Mary (1791-1844) is on the right side of the path leading to the south side entrance to the All Saints Parish Church, Kenton.One of their children John Payne Voysey (1824 – 1869), was married to Sarah (nee Pidgeon). It was this couple who emigrated to the colony of Natal (now the Province of Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa).
