(1) Thomas Speed-Andrews
born 1771 died 1859 (This is how the Speed-Andrews or Andrews-Speed family came about)
It is unclear why there are Speed-Andrews and Andrews-Speed families, but I am sure they are the same. They all came from Castle Cary after the marriage of Ann Speed and Thomas Andrews. Ann Speed was eldest daughter of William and Sarah Speed, and they had no surviving son. Ann would be heiress of William Speeds estate. It was common practice at the time for an estate to pass down the female line provided the family name was passed on also. This could be a clause in a will, or as in the case of Lady Henrietta Speed and son "count Henry de-Viry" (Henry Speed) by Act of Parliament or Royal licence.
