Of all the Gee in all the families, perhaps none is more interesting than HenryL6’s eldest son and heir, Sir WilliamL7 (1562-1611). HenryL6 died in the final year of Elizabeth I’s reign.

There were Gee in the Draycott/Cheadle area of Staffordshire from at least the mid-1600’s.

Gee of Dukenfield
Gee of Dukenfield
The earliest reference found thus far to a Gee in Dukinfield is Thomas Gee of Dukinfield, who recorded the baptism of his son George on 17 Feb 1599. One line of Gee of Australia, descendents of Alban Gee, trace from Joel c 1773. Joel’s son Ira was christened in Dukinfield, but Joel apparently was not. This line shows a Stockport connection,…

Sometime after the mid-16C the Gee family left Rothley. (See history of Gee of Rothley.) One group became Gee of Hull, which gave rise to Gee of Bishop Burton, Gee of Orpington and others. The heir inherited land through his wife, sold the Rothley estate and moved to Sutton Bonnington. In the mid-18C, one line moved to Leeds.

The earliest known ancestor of this line is George Gee (1780 - 1843), resident in Macclesfield (Cheshire). His descendants moved north successively to Norbury (Cheshire) and then Ardwick (east central Manchester). A good example of 19C population movement from country to industrial town. 
 
15
Gee of Manchester
Gee of Manchester
There were other Gee in Manchester besides HenryL5’s descendents. He seems to have owned land immediately adjoining the Cathedral. This may explain the Gee of Manchester in both Deansgate and Smithy Door, which were in that immediate area. It is difficult to trace ancestry through ownership of land as records were not kept as they are today.
