Just found your very interesting site. I have just 'arrived' in Devon with my husbands gt gt grandfather William Jacobs marrying Selina Cross in Tiverton in 1843. William lived in Culmstock, a schoolmaster as was Richard Cross Selina's father. On the 1851 cenus for Culmstock Hannah Cross Selina's mother is shown as schoolmistress. Would you be able to tell me how to find out where they taught? In 1851 Q3 Jul/Aug/Sept three daughters died in Culmstock all with the same reference number, I assume at the same time - a tragedy of some kind - would there be a local paper recording such events? Any information would be gratefully received. I shall enjoy exploring your web site further.

What a wonderful web site! I am searching for information on my seventh great grandparents, William Tricky (son of William) and his second wife Angis Pumery (Pomeroy?), who were married at the village of Broad Clyst, Devon, in 1725. They had three children: Christopher (c.1729), Giles (1731-1802) and Elizabeth (c.1736). Giles had evidently come to America by 1764. His wife Agnes was mentioned as the step daughter of David Pinkerton in his 1764 Orange Co., NC will. The area where they lived became Caswell Co. in 1777 and Person Co. in 1792. Giles made his will in Person Co. in 1795, and died there in 1802. He mentioned four children: William, John, Annis and Elizabeth. Annis (1767-1844) married Hezekiah DeWeese (1760-1839) in 1784, and Elizabeth married Hezekiah's younger brother Jonathan DeWeese, Jr. (1767-1849) in 1788. I am descended from Annis & Hezekiah's first born son, Jonathan DeWeese (1785-1841). I would be most grateful to anyone who could provide me with information on the Trickey and Pumery (Pomeroy?) families and the village of Broad Clyst.

Hi Sue,
Nice site. My wife's gg grandmother was Elizabeth Trude, m. 1847 Thomas Gunn. Oddly I can't find Thomas in the 1841 census (at Ancestry.com);even more oddly I can't find in the 11851 census any of the 5 people with whom Elizabeth lived at Poughill in 1841. Are you aware of a terrible plague at that time or a mass decision to emigrate or anything?
Best wishes, Jamie.

I've traced my family back to my GG Grandfather William Waldron who married Ann Howard in Bow, Devon in 1854. <br> <br>The marriage certificate gives william's father as John Waldron but he did not witness the marriage. According to census records and his death certificate William was born between 1826 and 1834. <br> <br>I've found John Waldron who married Elizabeth Heard in Bow, Devon in 1836 and the subsequent baptism of five children (John, Elizabeth, Mary, Jane & Susan) but this marriage was after my GG Grandfather's birth. Was he born to this couple prior to their marriage? <br> <br>I was particularly interested to read your comment in the Bow Web-Page that one of your ancestors William Heard was a tanner's labourer living in the parish in the 1881 census. <br> <br>My GG Grandfather William Waldron is quoted as being a tanner's labourer in the Bow Baptism record of his first child Gilford in 1861. <br> <br>John Waldron (who married Elizabeth Heard) - the possible father of William - is also quoted as being a tanner's labourer in the Bow Baptism record of his first child John in 1837. <br> <br>There seems to be several co-incidences here. Could I be correct in thinking that John Waldron and Elizabeth Heard had a son William (my GG Grandfather) before they were married? <br> <br>Or is there another, separate connection between the Waldrons and the Heards? <br>

To whom it may concern,
I am a teacher who has fregularly taken children on school visits to Wembury to do Rock pooling as part of class topic work, over a number of years. As with a number of schools in and around Plymouth, it is a topic that really interests the children. I recently took my class, along with my colleagues to Wembury, and for the second time in a number of years, had the weather against us. What I fail to understand is why nobody seems to have considered or made accommodation for school parties and where they could leave their belongings AND or shelter! Although this is not such a problem during fine weather, there is still nowhere for the children to leave their belongings when they go rock pooling. Schools want to give children a varied curriculum and where possible, 'hands on experiences'. The cost of coaches in an expensive one and it is extemely disappointing when fascilities such as those missing at Wembury, are not available. Teachers work long hours and it is often difficult for prior visits to be done. I come back to my main point: I feel there is a missed opportunity at Wembury for making this a better educational place to visit for large groups from schools.
The Rock pooling activities have always been excellent! Thank you that this is still on offer.
Best wishes.

Huxtable Farms, the current Bed & Breakfast in Buckland, North Devon, was the farmhouse that my gggg grandfather George Heddon grew up in. His parents, Thomas & Mary Heddon, supposedly rented it from the Earl of Fortescue in 1798. They had 4 children, William, George, Ann and Richard. In 1831, they auctioned off all their posessions and arrived in New York on the Brig Apollo 6/13/1831. If anyone knows anything about the genealogy of this family, please contact me. I have a very interested 84 year old Grandma, and a Mom who is visiting Devon in July 2005. Would love any information! P.S. The son of Richard is the James Heddon who started the now famous Heddon Lure Company in America. Thanks!

Dear Sue;
Firstly, congratulations and THANK YOU for the lovely information your research has provided us. Much appreciated.
Secondly, I am wondering if we are related. My research goes back to Andrew Webber (b 1650) m.1673 in Cadbury and later living in Cheriton Fitzpaine - children: Mary (1674), Christopher (1675), John (1678) Andrew (1683), Andrew (1685)and possibly John (1709).
Im actually stuck on Andrew and am trying to see if he is the same Andrew born 1650 in Barnstaple. Do you know anything about this lot?
Thanks again for wonderful information and research.

Really interesting site. Well done. The people who I am researching in Devon are:-
AVERY - from Tedburn St Mary.
Managed to get bits and pieces of information back to FRANCIS AVERY or CROCKER who married CHRISTIAN SKAINS in 1718 in Tedburn. There are about 3/4 Thomas Avery's who married a Mary, makes life quite confusing!
ROLLE - from Tedburn St Mary.
Haven't got any further back than ABSALOM ROLLE who married ELIZABETH GUSCOTT in Tedburn - Jan 1819. Their daughter JOANNA ROLLE married THOMAS AVERY in Tedburn c1847.
GUSCOTT - from Tedburn St Mary.
Not got much information here, just ELIZABETH, and more recently a CHARLES GUSCOTT born 1858 in Tedburn, need to know the connection.
PLYMSELL - from Tedburn St Mary
MARY PLYMSELL married THOMAS AVERY in 1819 - in Tedburn,would love to have more information about her family.
SKAINS - found three female marriages in Tedburn St Mary, Ann married in 1706; Elizabeth married in 1712 and Christian who married Francis Avery/Crocker in 1718. No information about where these three Skains ladies came from, or about their parents.
SAUNDERS - Exeter and Moreton.
CHARLES SAUNDERS born in Exeter c1852 (occupation Brass Finisher) married MARY ANN AVERY born c1852 in Tedburn St Mary. Marriage took place in Exeter in 1878.
Father of CHARLES was WILLIAM SAUNDERS a Cabinet maker, most likely candidate for this is a WILLIAM SAUNDERS born Moreton, Devon c1810, whose wife was Mary, from Middlesex. Would love to get more info about these people.

Good morning everyone,
I have a brick wall built at the marriage of my 3xgt.grandfather JOHN WOOD, and his marriage to MARY HADDON 6th. March 1789 in CULMSTOCK, Devon.
One of their children was JAMES WOOD, born Aug. 1794 and babtized in Culmstock 28th. October 1794. By 1832 James was living in London (Islington/Finsbury) with his first wife, as a boot maker. fROM THEN ON i'M O.K.
I would very much like to try and track back through his parents marriages but it is complicated by the large numer of Wood living in the district, and several of them in the same shoemaking cottage industry.
Perhaps you might like to copy any reply to me off line.

Name: Rick Bowden <rbowden@talk21.com> Date: 2004-02-28 Country you Live Hants. , UK Surname Interests MAUNDER , COURTIS Comments:
Hello Sue,
My 2G Grandfather was probably the Loxbeare farmer John Bowden listed in your entry from Whites 1850 directory. I say probably because he died in Dec 1849 and his son John , my 3G uncle took over the farm , so it could be either. John Bowden senior was married to Susannah Venner , who was in turn the daughter of William Venner and Anne Maunder of Stoodleigh. Anne Maunder was my 4G Grandmother and had a brother Roger Maunder who married Jenny Jordan in Stoodleigh 22/4/1772. Roger and Jenny had a son Roger , baptized in Stoodleigh 27/2/1773.
I could not see a marriage of Roger junior to Ann in the Stoodleigh marriage transcripts but do see the baptism of Jenny Maunder which you list. It would seem likely that this Roger Maunder is the son of my 5G Uncle with his daughter having the same name as his mother.
I have little information on my COURTIS link. I found an entry in the LDS IGI for a marriage of David Bowden of Stoodleigh to Susanna Courtis in Exeter Cathedral on 4/4/1728. The Stoodleigh parish records show a William Bowden baptised on 19/5/1728 ( which is a bit close ) but the parents are David and Susanna Bowden.
John Bowden (the Loxbeare farmer , my 2G Grandfather) was born in Stoodleigh , the son of William Bowden and Alice. William and Alice named their first child Susannah and their first son William , second son David. William Bowden , who marries Alice Hatsel in Stoodleigh in 1759 seems to fit the age profile to be the William Bowden born to David and Susanna in 1728.
If you have any other research information which would clarify if we are related please let me know.
Rick.

Fantastic website. Just found it today, 22 Nov. 03. Scrolled through all the posted surname queries that pertained to me but will take more time to read messages later. My grandfather,Reginald Oliver Pridham Farthing,lived at 23 Chedworth St. Plymouth, Charles the Martyr, Devon with his parents, six brothers and one sister. I believe they called it Farthing Hall. The father, James Farthing was a merchant seaman b.1832 but died in a shipwreck. He was 49 during the 1881 British census. The home had to be given up during the great depression. The mother was Emma Huxtable O'Kelly (or Selly) Farthing. I am interested in finding ancestry of James and Emma but also am seeking grandchildren or great grandchildren of the six brothers. Their names were Edgar Albert Farthing b.1867, Alfred Doudney Farthing b.1869, Francis William Farthing b.1872, Frederick James b.1874, Arthur William b.1879, Samuel Farthing b.?, Reginald Oliver Pridham Farthing b. 1881 d.10 Oct.1960 Ontario, Canada. I knew him as he was the only one to come to Canado. The sister was Lilan Grace Farthing Pike b.1878 d.6 May 1966 in Zimbabwe, Africa. Some of the brothers may have relocated to Australia but am not sure of that. I would dearly appreciate any information or leads for both the family and the homesite via e-mail.

They emigrated to Australia in about 1888 and WJB Ball returned to thorverton in 1907 and ran the subnewsagency until his death in the early 1920's. He is buried in the Baptist chapel Church Yard. Before they left for Australia the Ball family rented land adjacent To Court Barton from the Dean and Chapter of Exeter Cathedral. I have the lease in my possession.

For many years, finding the birth / marriage / death of BALTHAZER MOCK c 1640 has given me a great deal of trouble. Balthazer / Marrian were the parents of JOHN MOCK who was baptised 1st November 1666, BRAUNTON, NORTH DEVON, and later SUSANNA MOCK baptised 2nd July 1674 also at BRAUNTON.
Any info on the Mock surname, or the Balthazer / Marrian partnership would be gratfully received.

Hello there,
My g.grandfather,(maternal) James Hulbert, was born (or came from) Bath. At the age of 18 years, in 1836, he was convicted for stealing meat and transported to Australia. Does he fit into anyone's Hulbert line?
My father was born in East Stonehouse, Devon in 1913. His father, Alfred Evans, was a police sergeant stationed at the Dockyards before and during WW1. They lived at Devil's Point and then at Bull Point. In 1998 we had a visit to England and found Bull Point but we think the cottage they used to live in is now part of the gaol. The cottages were used for coast guard members as well as police. Does anyone remember this place? My grandfather retired from the police force in 1920 and they moved to Catford until 1928 when they emigrated to Australia.
All the best to fellow researchers.

He was born circa 1775, but there is no note, in the parish marriage register for 7 Feb 1798, (in Portsmouth City Record Office)where their parishes of origin were, so I can't look them up!

I am looking for further information about the many greats grandfather, John Pardee b.1567, Uffculme, Devon, England. He died 1656/7-Feb 7 in London England.
This information came from the published "Pardee Genealogy" by Jacobus in 1927. This information was discovered just before the book went to print so no further research about the roots of John has ever been published. The information discovered listed his children who were baptised in Uffculme. This included George Pardee's father, Rev. Anthony Pardee bp.1591 July 25. The Rev. Anthony Pardee was a priest in the Church of England and lived in Pitminster, England where his son George was bp. 1623.
His grandson George Pardee came to New England in the early 1600s.
I am interested in locating descendants of this Pardee line and learning more about the ancestors of the early John who lived in Devon,England.

An inspirational site-congratulations!
Louisa's Album prompted me to get out of my bookcase:
"A JUBILEE ROMANCE" or
"A BUNCH of YELLOW ROSES"
by ARTHUR S JOSLING, Arkley Lawn,1887
ASJ was one of my late husband's g grandfathers.
Just in case it attracts passing interest-it was privately published.Of course,they had so much time ie if they were reasonably well off.What would they have thought of us fanatical genealogists and the internet?!!
Best regards
