What I have so far (nothing really!)
The only Edward Geale in Abinger married there in 1641 - unless he lived to around 100, it isn't him in the above will. But, he appears to have had no children in Abinger, but 4 were born to an Edward Geale between 1641 abd 1651 in Great Bookham, including a Joanne. The reason I think there is a connection is because Robert Geale also had a number of children around the same years in Great Bookham and also died in Esher. I have long held the (completely unproven) feeling that Edward and Robert were brothers.
A Jane Gale married a Thomas Cobbett in 1669 in Great Bookham.
A William May married Mercy Dally in Esher in 1709 (the Dally family having had loose business connections with the Geale/Gale family). But I don't think they had daughters called Elizabeth or Ann.
This has been driving me bonkers forever.
