The family groups are more or less in chronological order, based on the birth date of the eldest child.
If a name is preceded by a number, this is a generation number. Generation numbers are consistent between family groups between which links have been established, but cannot be guaranteed to be consistent for family groups which have not been linked.
There are many couples called Joseph & Mary Jeggo and they take a little
disentangling.
Joseph & Mary Jeggo/Jagger (and
Joseph & Maria Jagger formerly Jeggo) (all res Bocking) are easy to
separate from the rest.
Some comment is needed on the deductions I have made regarding the
Gosfield ones. There are three marriages: 1803, 1822, 1830;
in each case the Joseph is a batchelor. There are baptisms of children
of Joseph & Mary from 1804 to 1845. The 1733-1812 register does
not give the father's occupation, but the 1813-1854 one does. The
first six Joseph & Mary children in the latter are all to the tailor
(m 1803), and all the ones in the former are presumed to be. The
children born (1825-1836) to labourer, labourer & shopkeeper, and shopkeeper
are all assumed to be of Joseph the labourer
and Mary the shopkeeper (m 1822), except that Maria Ann bap16/10/1836
is known from the 1841 census, etc., to be the daughter of Joseph
(the farmer) & Mary Ann. The children born (1829-1845) to
the farmer (m 1830) are assumed to constitute the third
family, except that Mary Ann bap 5/4/1829 is probably the child of
the labourer. There is a Mary Ann Jeggo age 22 in 1851 daughter of
Mary Newman, who is probably the remarried widow of Joseph the labourer.
Is this one couple or two? There is a long gap in the baptisms, and the spellings change. If there are two Thomases, is one the son of the other?

Thomas is probably the son of Joseph & Hannah; he is the right age, and this is the only Thomas with a sister Susan. He was a wealthy man. See also the story of the silver watch.

The marriage entry for John & Mary (q.v.) states that Joseph was a broom maker. It thus appears that Joseph, wife Mary and son John were all broom makers, with Joseph regarding tailor as his main occupation. (Would a village like Gosfield provide full-time occupation for a tailor ca 1840? Probably not.)
Who were Joseph's parents?
There were two elderly Josephs in Gosfield in 1841, the tailor age
"65" (ie b 1771-6) and the labourer and father of Henry age "70" (ie b
1766-71). There were two Josephs born in this period who survived:
son of Joseph & Hannah bap 12/2/1775 and son of Matthew & Elizabeth
bap 20/12/1772. It seems more likely that the tailor was the son
of Joseph & Hannah and the labourer (Joseph
& Susannah) the son of Matthew
& Elizabeth, but the converse is possible.
The balance of probabilities is therefore in favour of Joseph & Hannah being Chris's great-great-great-great-grandparents, and being Chris's and Penny's common ancestors.
This family appears as Jeggo in the 1841 census and as Jagger in the 1851 and 1881 censuses. Joseph (senior) could well be the son (b 1775) of William and Sarah, whose surname is given variously as Jeggoe, Jigger and Jegger in births registered in the parish of Bocking 1764-79. Although Joseph did not start life as a Jagger, he and his descendants certainly finished up bearing that name. This change was not a tidy process. In Bocking parish registers there are births of children of Thomas and Emma Jeggo up to 1861, but in 1858 Honour was born to Thomas and Emma Jagger. All the burials (1862 onwards) are in the name of Jagger. In the Bocking marriage register (1837-1870) there is a letter dated 2nd September 1920 from the General Register Office, Somerset House, to the Rector of Bocking stating that it had been represented to the Registrar General that the bridegroom's name should be Jagger, not Jeggo, in Entry No. 216, the marriage of Joseph Jeggo/Jagger and Maria Willett on 23rd December 1848. It also states that in the duplicate register held by the Superintendent Registrar the bridegroom's surname appears as Jeggo in column 2 but in the signature to the attestation as Jagger. Nevertheless, a GRO copy dated 20/5/1996 of the certificate clearly shows Jeggo in both places, and so does the parish register itself (microfiche copy at ERO). However, Entry No. 248 in the same register, the marriage of Thomas J to Emma Butcher on 5th May 1851, gives the bridegroom's name as Jeggo in column 2 and his father's name as Jeggo in column 7, but he signs as Thomas Jagger, and a Joseph Jagger also signs as a witness. Finally, the birth certificate of James (1860, son of Joseph & Maria) states "Jeggo otherwise Jagger" in columns 4, 5 and 7 and "Clerical error in cols 4, 5 and 7 corrected on 13/9/1920 by me Fred J. Wiles, Superintendent Registrar on the authority of the Registrar General".
A search of the Public Record Office's online catalogue has so far failed to find any details of Joseph's military service.

There are some uncertainties here: are Sarah and Sarah Anne one
and the same? likewise Eliza and Elizabeth Ann? were they baptised
twice, or the baptisms recorded twice, or the first baptisms invalid for
some reason? There are a Sarah, Eliza and Mary Jeggo living with
Mary Newman in 1841. The 1841 & 1851 census entries for Naaman
& Mary Newman show that they were not very good at ages; possibly
Mary was better than Naaman. Mary Ann Jeggo daughter of Mary Newman
was age 22 in 1851, which suggests (i) that she is Mary Ann bap 5/4/1829,
(ii) that she is the daughter of Joseph the labourer, Joseph the farmer
not being married by then, and (iii) that Mary Newman is the widow of Joseph
the labourer. There was a Joseph buried 19/9/1832 @ Gosfield age
33, and Naaman Newman married Mary Jeggo (widow, of this parish) on 24/9/1833
@ Gosfield. Further evidence is needed to prove these conjectures,
but they seem probable enough to be adopted as a working hypothesis for
the time being.
Further evidence comes from the marriage of Mary Ann Jeggo, daughter
of the late Joseph Jeggo (labourer), witnessed by Naaman and Maria Newman.

Notes:
(1) Emily Jeggo, daughter of Isabella Jeggo,
appears to have been brought up as a daughter by her grandparents Richard

(2) In Halstead Holy Trinity marriage register,
the father of James Symonds (m Emily J 18/5/1862) is Thomas Symonds, tanner,
and the father of Eliza Simons (m Alfred J 25/12/1866) is Thomas Simons,
tanner -- probably one and the same.

This marriage matches the only entry in the GRO index of a John Jeggo during 1841-51. Mary Jeggo has the identical GRO reference, which is entirely expected because the Gosfield register shows that she is a widow, daughter of John Lewis, and also that John is the son of Joseph Jeggo, broom maker.
The Gosfield registers also contain:
the marriage of William Jeggo & Mary Louis 8/7/1823,
the burial of William Jeggo 17/9/1834 age 33, and
the baptism of William, son of Joseph &
Susannah Jeggo, 6/9/1801,
apparently a brief history of Mary's first husband. This first
marriage seems to have been childless.

Thomas B Jeggo was the farmer @ Iron Peartree in 1851, steward to S. Courtauld and parish officer @ Gosfield. The 1881 Census records him as a stationer at Pewsey, Wiltshire, but other evidence (186 KB) suggests that this might have been Jane's business. The 1901 Census records him as a hostel caretaker in Kenwyn (Truro), and I have come across a website which gives the same information in respect of 1891, but I haven't checked this myself yet.

The only Georges born in the 1850s (according to GRO Indexes and Gosfield parish registers) are the sons of Henry & Sarah, George b 1850 d 1850 and George William b 1854. This agrees with George William's age of 22 in the 1876 Halstead St. Andrew marriage entry for George William and Emily Ann, so he seems highly likely to be the son of Henry & Sarah. The only snag is that the marriage entry gives his father as James Jeggo (deceased, labourer). However, Henry died in 1858 (probably), so maybe George William was brought up by his uncle; James is probably the son of Joseph & Susannah, who were Henry's parents.

Mike Beadle has emailed: "Ernest Henry was in WW1 - he was in the Northants Regiment and a Lewis gunner - he was at the Somme and experienced the trench warfare although, quite naturally, he would not talk about it. After the war he became an apprentice grocer working up to be the manager of the local Co-op."

'Jeggo Identity Parade' (1.1 MB) includes a photograph that almost certainly features Golden.
The report of the funeral included: ".. among the mourners were Mrs. Jeggo (widow), Messrs. E. F. and L. Goodram (nephews), Mrs. Weaver (niece) and Mr. E. Smith (cousin)." Also given were the names of those attending, and a somewhat fulsome description, including the fact that there were "many blinds down in the village" as a mark of respect.

My great-great-grandmother was Sarah Ann Jeggo born February 3rd, 1829 in Spain, according to the International Genealogy Index [but see below]. Sarah's father was a Thomas Jeggo who was a farmer in Gosfield. Sarah married William Newton in 1853 in the Parish Church, Parish of Gosfield, in October 1853, according to a Certified Copy of an Entry of Marriage issued March 1, 2001. Sarah and William (whose father was also a William) went to Canada in about 1870 with a family of seven boys, namely Frank Herbert, Ernest Alwyn, Seville Martineau, Albert Angus, Louis Victor, Leonard Plato and Sterling Jeggo (my great-grandfather).
Her marriage was probably not a happy one. William Newton, who was ordained an Anglican minister in Canada in 1871 in Toronto, Ontario, left his family in Lindsay, Ontario, in 1875 to be a minister, financed by the Society of the Propagation of the Gospel, to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada for 25 years. He never returned home even though the Bishop thought he should! Two of his sons moved west as adults. One son became a mayor of a city in British Columbia; I have no information on the other. My great-grandfather, Sarah's son Sterling Jeggo Newton (she gave him her maiden name), stayed in Lindsay, married Harriet Bean October 1, 1890, and fathered my paternal grandmother, Neta Gladdis Newton (b May 28,1893). She married Russell Bell and they had five children of which my father, Donald Louis Bell (b February 6, 1916 in Lindsay, Ontario) was the only survivor. He is still alive and well in Whitby, Ontario.
I have the shawl Sarah wore on the voyage to Canada in 1870-1871. I also have quite a few photographs of Sarah as a young woman, alone and with her children.
Sarah died in Lindsay, Ontario, Canada on January 4th, 1901. The cause of death was Bronchitis & Catarrha of the stomach which she had for 4 years.
