There is a connection between the White Waltham Blays and Cripplegate London. For instance Richard Blay and Sarah baptised Richard Daniel Blay at St Giles Cripplegate on 31/12/1848 Richards father was Richard Blay born 1786 and married Anne Weston at Bray 12/11/1808. His father was Thomas Blay born 1761 and maried to Ann Ayres ion 1784 at Bray.His father was Richard Blay born 1725 at Hurley and married Martha Cordery at Bisham 8/5/1753. Finally his father was Walter Blay married to Elizabeth.
There is also another London connection. John Blay born 1743 and married to Winifred Ravening in 1767 at Bray had a son also called John born 1770. He was apprenticed to Samuel Joseph Threadkeld a fishmonger of Peddlars Ave, Westminster, for 8 years in 1784 he obtained freedom by servitude in 1792 and in the same year married Mary Carter at Stepney They had at least 3 sons William born Bermondsey c 1796, a fismonger, Thomas Blay, born c1801 a brushmaker and John Blay a taylor in Bermondsey.
London was a strong draw for the White Waltham and Bray Blays. Several got married in London and eventually returned to their home village. I strongley susupect that there are more family ties betweewn London and Berkshire.
