In the 1980s there was a programme on family trees which was broadcast. My Auntie made some rough notes. The programme showed Michael Gandy and 2 daughters Isobel and Rachel living in London and 2 boys from Warrington also appeared - you may be able to trace them and find out whether you are related to them.
Gandy tree started with William de Gandy who was fighting at the battle of Gecy or Cecy. Records showed William Gandy a Quaker born in 1625 in Frandley Cheshire. Was a farmer sold the farm. Had a daughter Ellen who sailed 1682 on the "Welcome" with William Penn and & descendant of Richard Nixon.
Mary Gandy lost on Mountain in the Isle of Man Dec 1909
Thomas Hardy and Leo Sayer are both descendants of the Gandy family.
I was born in Liverpool and as far as I know, there were 3 Gandy families listed in the phone book in the Liverpool area in the 1980s -which one do you want to find out about?
Hope this helps
