Find Ancestors

Whoever else asked for the info must be a board user

The link Christina posted was for the FHS...................contact them, and see what they can offer

Thank you Reggie I did do that but have not had repiles from the 2 people with a "match". I wait in hope.

And thanks to Christina for the advice re the Records Office. We would really love to go in person but no leave left this year...

As I have previously accessed the info for someone, you would do well to look in 'search all trees', and find out who else on GR is looking for these people. When you identify them.....get in touch

They may have more info.....................

Zena, I'm sorry the above link advises that they no longer undertake searches re family history and refer you to the Devon Family History Society who will search, for a fee.....

No I have not as did not realise they would do it for me. I will do that thanks. don't mind paying a fee.
Very grateful

Have you been in contact with the records office? Some will search for you, but there may be a fee?

Edited to post the link instead as there is an enquiry form linked to the page.

Pam, I am finding the census info ok. I need to go back further.
REggie tells me that ages were rounded down so that explains the different birthdates on census.
You are right I need to visit Devon record Office and I will do as soon as I can but am working 5 days a week and we live quite far away. we will need to book a holiday next year!

Many thanks

Reggie,
Many thanks. I have not asked for this before.

Newton Abbot would appear to be the answer to "which Newton?" Address is Broadhempston Village, Newton Abbot.

IN 1841, ages of over-15's were rounded down to the nearest '5'

You are very unlikely to find birth info........the best you can hope for is a baptism.

Try...............

Although very little in the way of Devon info is on the site.................

When did he marry?

Think you may have to contact Devon Records Office, but do you know which Newton in Devon it is?

Newton Abbot
Newton Bushel
Newton Ferrers
Newton Poppleford
Newton St Cyres
Newton St Petrock
Newton Tracey

I am trying to find a birth record for William Charles born either 1806 or 1810 in Newton Devon England.

I can find him on the census for 1841 onwards. His age seems to change from one census to another.
Any help would be appreciated.

I do not have a family tree on Genes but it can be viewed on Ancestry at the moment. :-(
