Thanks Reggie, will do. I contacted the library at the researcher's suggestion. |

You need to contact Devon Records Office...........not a library |

I have been told by a FHC that the Mormans were not allowed to have all the Devon parish records. Because of this I contacted a library in Devon to see if they could help but unfortunately they haven't replied. I also checked with a researcher in the UK who thinks I am probably correct regarding George Gosling and would check the parish records ... for a fee. Does anyone have any suggestions of what else I might try? |

I thought about that but he and Joan had 10 children I think so he'd be getting on a bit when he had the later ones if he was born 1720. |

I'm still having doubts about the George Gosling on my friend's tree. On my friend's tree George Gosling is shown as being born in 1720 in Membury. If that George did marry Joan Elliot in 1851 then that would make him 31 when he married and that's unusual for back then. I took on board what Reggie said about Membury being a long way from Plymouth and looked for other births but I haven't found any. I did find a couple of deaths, one in 1797 and one in 1812, but no details were given other than they were in Devon.. Any suggestions how I could find details or if I can find details. |

My friend's tree was done by another family member who I think might be deceased. I was trying to verify some facts before trying to go further back. It looks like I might have to look into it more carefully. It does indeed look as though the George Gosling on this tree is the wrong one. I picked on this one to check because I had my doubts ... this George was born in 1720 but the line I'm following gave his son as born in 1770 making George 50. I'm thinking I'll have to start a bit later and check backwards, just in case. |

Children all baptised in Ermington which is close to Plymouth. |

Membury is on the border with Somerset...................a heck of a long way from Plymouth |

The marriage took place at St Andrew's, Plymouth on 3rd May 1751. |

Advise your friend to check his facts............staring with why he thinks that George was born in 1720 |

I'm looking at a family tree for a friend. On his tree George Gosling's birth is given as 21 Sep 1720 in Membury, Devon. He apparently married Joan Elliott in 1751. The only birth reference I can find for George Gosling born in 1720 is a baptism (in familysearch) for 21 Sep 1720 in Membury but his death is given as 27 Nov 1720 (parents John & Elizabeth). It looks as if the birth on my friend's tree is wrong. I have found baptisms for children of George & Joan dating from 1757 to 1776. |
