Find Ancestors

Thanks for the extra info everyone, much appreciated... but i have all this.

It's trying to get back past George Weeks & Johanna (Joanna, Anne) that i'm struggling with.

That newspaper article Pam is very interesting, i'll have to try and find a copy that isn't gobble-de-gook lol.

Thanks again for all your efforts.

Have had another look and found this baptism on FMP, but maybe she is a different Joanna:

Forename(s):Joanna
Surname:Tickell
Sep 24 1786
Father's Forename:James
Mother's Forename:Mary
St Andrew, Plymouth

Hmmmm, Stoke Damerel.

Wonder why they went there to Marry?

That's back to Plymouth. The more recent Weekes family have come from there, makes it more interesting again.

Thanks again Adeline.... it's frustrating i couldn't find that!

I am having a bit of fun with this one, as Sourton's records are not widely published online!! (typical :-\)

A brief background to where i'm at....

George Week(e)s 1844 Sourton, Devon the son of :-

George Tickle Week(e)s 1822 Sourton, Devon & Agness Newcombe 1826 Sourton, Devon.

George Tickle Week(e)s is the son of:-

George Week(e)s c1791 Sourton, Devon & Joanna (Anne) Tickle c1801 Sourton, Devon.

All i have on George and Joanna is what i have gleaned from the census's. I have, with the help of Neil the Devon OPC, got the Baptism's for George & Joanna's children.

There are numerous tree's on A*y that have this family listed and i'm loathed to just blindly copy the details across without backing it up with facts.

To add insult to injury, i live about 4 hours away!!

So, my question is, does anyone have access to the parish Records for this area of Devon and would they mind doing some look up's for me or have the full Sourton Records on PC?

Neil has been a great help, but his data for this line is limited :-(

I have, before people start posting, all the relevant Census's and Baptism's moving forward from George & Joanna.... it's backwards i'm struggling on.

Many Thanks
