Hello Andrew,According to the Genuki Devon 1841 census it states (looks like) Hartestone. You stated Harleston which is close to East Allington. How far would that be in miles?I have Partridges on the maternal side of the family.

Just had an afternoon at the Devon Record Office, & thought I have a look for John & his mother Elizabeth. Hope it helps ! Chris Whitehead John Yeats Smith Baptised 25th August 1776 (from microfilm of the original register) I looked at the accounts of overseers of the poor for East Budleigh - If Elizabeth needed financial assistance, or medical help which she couldn't pay for, the parish would have stepped in. The accounts book is held at the Devon record Office reference 1180a/PO2. Started search Jan 1776. N.b. the accounts year ran Easter to Easter; accounting months were 28 days. The March 1777 payment by John Yeats was a large sum of money – more than a year's wages for a labourer. Because John Yeats was an overseer he was a member of the vestry, and, probably, a tenant farmer. Afa him being in the BMD registers, I've noticed that often under the "three lives" tenancy agreements which were common at the time none of the tenants are baptised in the parish where they farm. month ending 30th June 1776 "Charges concerning Mr Yeats 4s" 25th Aug 1776 "To Eliz[abeth] Smith £1 6s 6d" "To Defichasene of Mr Yeats Money 1s 6d [Deficiency?]" 22nd Sep 1776 John Yeats signs the account. He continues to do this intermittently throughout the period searched.

These payments continue through to 1783 John Yeats Smiths payments stop at the end of this year, while Elizabeth's pay ends with her death in month 8 of 1784. (the entry in the burial register for 21st Nov is marked P for pauper) I looked through 1783 & 1784 but didn’t find any payment for John Yeats Smith to be taken on as a parish apprentice. -----Original Message----- From: Elizabeth Howard via DEVON Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2018 10:41 PM To: devon@rootsweb.com Cc: Elizabeth Howard Subject: [DEV] DEV] Re: John Yates Smith bpt 1776 East Budleigh Or now I think of it.

Looking at the image, I think it reads Barnstone and is possible Barnston farm on Bing Ordnance Survey Maps. The previous page references Coombe which is just down the road.

If you look at your root directory you will see amongst the directories "Program Files" - 64 bit programs and "Program Files (x86)" - 32 bit programs. If you have problems you can always right click on the exe file and run the compatibility troubleshooter. This will solve most problems but there will always be an exception but I don't think the 1881 census is one of them. I think the 1851 test release was one that didn't make the 21st century.

Many thanks to Cher and all who have contributed to my question about war memorials. It rather came to what I thought-I shall have to go back to the record office in Barnstaple and ask there-which I should have thought of in the first place! I think the process of asking in the local press is how they went about asking for names in the local area and then found it hard to turn down anyone whose family asked for their son, father, brother to be memorialised. The master stoker is memorialised in Plymouth where they have a large memorial to lost sailors. I have found out more about him, just no link to Atherington! Jon PS can I suggest the thread on Devonshire Regiment and Soldiers Died in the First World war should warrant a new thread or Terry will be making noises . . .

It is, so far as I checked, a text only collection. It's also on FindMyPast as a text-only collection. In both cases, the collections appear to be basic text items only and do not include any narrative. I'm sure - and would welcome contradictions - that I have seen and used the SDGW CDs at my local library and some of the entries had small narrative entries, like you sometime get in the CWGC database. I might be wrong. Theoretically there should be a match in terms of who was covered between the CWGC site and the SDGW books / CDs / collections. But a match in narrative - *if* narrative appears in SDGW - may be unlikely.

Dear Sher, I don’t have details of that book but I do have two volumes of ‘The Devonshire Regiment 1914-1918’ It was compiled by C.T.Atkinson and first published in 1926.It is a very detailed account of the operations the Devonshire regiment took part in.

Where I used to work (in Somerset) our company still had an air-raid siren. So it used to be sounded for the two-minute silence. The company was on the outskirts of the town, but you couldn't help hearing it right in the town centre, and it was quite eerie to see folk standing stock-still in the middle of the pavement.
