I agree but in Anthony's case he does seem to have been there until 1773 as he has actually signed each page of the Register book along with the Church Warden of the time.

At this time it was most common to retain livings until death, but often curates were paid to do the work, . It's struck me before as a shame that our churches so often have lists of vicars / rectors, including those who held plural livings or were otherwise absent, and not the curates they paid (often a pittance) to do the work, who should really be the ones acknowledged. (The trouble is I think survival of records about who was present and even more about who the curates were who ministered in a parish are very patchy) See for instance the 1779 visitation replies for Thornbury - http://foda.org.uk/visitations/1779/Chanter232B/Thornbury.htm Teresa On 24/02/2017 08:00, [email protected] wrote: > From:[email protected] > Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2017 10:29 AM To:[email protected] > Subject: Re: [DEV] [STRAY] Anne w/o Richard FRENCHAM of Thornbury > > He was the Rector of St Peter's Church, Thornbury near Holsworthy in > Devon but I have his name as Frinsham but have not checked any > original documentation.

Terry, Apologies I used the example of Photoshop to emphasis the that the quality of the images compared to the old LDS microfilms is much improved. I should have used the term "Image Enhancement" which is both built in to high quality cameras and the accompanying software (and imaging microfilm readers). Usually this software adjusts contrast and brightness and can remove "stains". Personally I use a cut down version of Photoshop after a visit to an archive.

I usually only use the term when perhaps, as a result of knowing a validated death or burial record from a certificate or headstone, the age at death is also included and an approximate birth year can be determined.

Hello, Devon-listers My Devon great-great-great-grandparents arrived in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, in 1832. They settled in Kings County, New Brunswick. Here's what I believe I know, but supporting documentation would be most welcome. John CHOWN, baptized 07 Aug 1803 in Sidbury, Devon (Genuki?). I have his parents as Robert CHOWN and Jane WARREN. And Mary CARSLAKE, b. 05 Apr 1807 in Sidbury (England Births and Christenings 1538-1975) I have her parents as Richard CARSLAKE and Elizabeth (Betty) WICKER / WHECKER / WHICKER John CHOWN and Mary CARSLAKE were married on 06 May 1825 in Saint Paul, Exeter, Devon (Pallot's Marriage index for England, 1780-1837) Their son James CHOWN was born in Devon in 1831, and they went on to have six more children in Canada. I am descended from their son John CARSLAKE CHOWN, born 28 Apr 1834, in New Brunswick, Canada. It would be great to connect with anyone who is researching these surnames (including variant spellings). Thanks! Lynda Muir Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Heather -- I think you might well be right about variant spellings arising from F being pronounced as V. I recently posted that in the mid-1400s the Anglo-Norman surname BEAUFITZ was once recorded as BEVYCE "because that represents the Devonshire pronunciation" before the spelling morphed into BEAFICE and BEVYS. So the spelling of your ancestor's surname may well have changed from FOUND to VONE to VAUGHAN, depending on who heard it, while his own North Cornish pronunciation of it did not. Paul was evidently right about the Richard FOUND, baptised Morwenstow 1/11/1719, being a foundling. The Cornwall OPC Database has two duplicate records of his baptism, one of which states "Transcriber Notes: BTs. He was a foundling hence the surname and lack of parents". Searching more widely, it looks like he was the progenitor of the FOUND family of Morwenstow. That Richard is probably the father of the John that you mention, and grandfather of Richard FOUND/VONE. http://www.cornwall-opc-database.org/search-database/baptisms/ Martin Beavis --------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Paul Hockie Sent: Sunday, January 22, 2017 5:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [DEV] North Devon/Cornwall pronunciation Heather, There is something that does not ring quite true. . The navy recruited using shore patrols for both pressed men and volunteers. These men were then taken to a port where they were assigned to a ship. At this point their details were taken, including name, age and place of birth and they were entered on the musters. The musters were sent to the Admiralty on a regular basis and were summarised on to a service record (TNA ADM29) until 1855. A sailor could also authorise a deduction to be paid to family at home. He may also be awarded prize money from time to time. There was no real check on identity but once signed up A pressed man served for 7 years and a volunteer 21. Volunteers qualified for a pension and other benefits so pressed men often suddenly became volunteers. From time to time ships went in for refit, were decommissioned or were lost. When a man changed ship he was given a certificate of discharge to present to his next ship and the discharge was noted in the muster. This way his total service was built up and was a record to show his qualification for a pension. It is unlikely that a man served under 3 names. . In the musters of one of his navy ships my ancestor Richard VAUGHAN gave his origin as Morwenstow in Cornwall . He used his mother's maiden name ELLIOT in the navy . The navy heard and recorded him under the surname HALLET throughout his career to pension days Ancestry has an index and images for ADM29, but I cannot find a record for any of the above. You can search by ship. The name Found often means just that - a child of unknown parentage who was abandoned in the parish. This could be Richard Found chr 1/11/1719 with no parents given in Familysearch. I would check the actual registers for Found in Morwenstow for comments.

The navy heard and recorded him under the surname HALLET throughout his career to pension days. This I have proof of, after years of work. The only entry in Morwenstow baptisms which fits the correct age and mother's maiden surname is for a Richard FOUND, baptised 4 Jan 1778, son of John FOUND and Elizabeth. There is a marriage of John FOUND to Elizabeth ELLIOT on 23 Jan 1768, also in Morwenstow. My question is whether FOUND is a close pronunciation of VAUGHAN in Cornwall/North Devon. Any ideas?

Hi Joy and Terry, Well finally I got a copy of the will of Francis Harris and it is very very interesting. Francis does make bequests to his wife Frances and also his children, William, Betty and John Harris who are exactly the same names as the ones born in Oakford he also mentions a Mary Buridge does anyone have any idea who that could be, I searched online but couldn't come up with a name. As a matter of interest his daughter Betty has the surname Toby and I believe that you told me about her in the 1851 census where she is shown as being born in Oakford so that clinches it. Now it seems that the only Francis that fits the bill is the one born in Harpford in 1769 and the only Frances is Frances Heydon born in Rackenford in 1776 which is very close to Oakford I think one of your members already told me about her so why did Francis move to Oakford and marry a local girl have 3 children there and then pack up and move back to Harpford. In Francis' will he lists his profession as Thatcher but he has quite a portfolio, he owns about 5 houses, he leaves his "cows and other kinds of cattle" to his wife he has apple orchards, willow trees, nurseries, cider and casks, insurance policies that make yearly payments it just goes on and on. If any of you has an interest in seeing the will I will send it to you. Just thought of something, maybe he inherited all of these properties so that could be the reason he returned? Do you think we can safely say that Francis and Frances are the ones married in Oakford in 1792 and they also are the ones born in Harpford and Rackenford? Thanks for all of your help.

I didn't see it originally on FreeBMD because the surname has been given an extra s - Harriss. The death falls in the March quarter of 1841 so it was before the census was taken on June 7 1841. It does look as if Francis and Frances may both have moved to Harpford. It might be worth ordering a copy of the will to see who is named in it which will, hopefully, confirm his children's names. Also, if you obtain the death certificates, they may have the name and relationship of the person who notified the Registrar which could also verify that they are the Francis and Frances who baptised children at Oakford. The age at death is consistent with the Francis Harris baptised at Harpford 26 Nov 1769, parents William and Priscilla.

I agree with everybody's analysis that William Harris must have had family ties in Aylesbeare and moved there after the death? Of his first wife although I can find no marriage or death record for Mary. One thing is a bit strange William and Caroline Harris had two children with Caroline's maiden name Dyer for a middle name (Ann Dyer Harris 1831 and Sarah Dyer Harris 1829) I would have thought that the parents were not married but they did marry in 1829 it sounds so 21st century. I did see the 1841 census showing Frances Harris aged 60 in Newton Poppleford and also a burial for Frances aged 63 in Harpford. So could it be possible that after the death of her husband Frances moved from Oakford to be close to her children William and Betty?

Hi Heather, I'm no expert, but I'd say that if anything, the "ow" part of "Found" is more exaggerated in the Cornish dialect than in " received pronunciation", making it even less like the "awe" in Vaughan.
