I do hope a joint group will be formulated. My ancestors came from the BORDER of the two counties, i.e. Clayhanger, Devon and Chipstable (and more) Somerset. An index of surnames for that area can be found in the Descendants chart for Richard Stone 1579 on the Stone page at the website shown below. -- John C.

Morning folk, Can anyone please tell me what the initials P.C. & P.V. are after marriages in early 1700 would mean. Would they be Parish Church and Parish Vestry? Would people get married in the Vestry I wonder!! Cannot think of anything else. Bev

Some odd notes can be found in the Registers. I am posting this purely out of interest so that everyone can see what sometimes happened. Top of page faint and hard to read, but I think Vicar DAVY'S was referring to these entries. Which do not make sense to me given that I am sure the entries are dated 1690-1692. Stokenham Marriage abt March 1690 John BENEDICT? and Mary ANGELL? Baptism 1692 August 2nd... Elizabeth daughter of John BENEDICT? and his wife Mary [could be May 9th] then.... I refused to grant certificate to the above entries as I consider them not [underlined] to be authentic entries. A. DAVYS Vicar of Stokenham March 12 1925 [yep, that's the date] Vicar then writes PS. They were not in the Book when I searched it for them myself in 1925: March [word under here I cannot make out] The same applies to the entry " Mary ANGELL " Baptised May 18 1672 Mr. William Adrian ALLERY, of London, was inadvertently in private [underlined] examination of the Register at the Vicarage here a few days previously to the appearance of these entries. I refused to grant him the certificates on the ground of there being forgerie's. [sic] Signed A. DAVYS Vicar Witness: W.J. MOORE Churchwarden W. PENGELLY, Churchwarden March 12 1925 Now, why would Mr. Allery of London be wanting a certificate from 1671 and 1690-1692? Bev Monkey business maybe

Hello, My 2 x great grandfather, Samuel Hammett, married Mary Puttam in Beer (Seaton & Beer) Parish in 1804. The register says he was from Axminster. We never found any records of him there. There were several generations of Hammetts in Kingsbridge and Dodebrook from the mid 1700s, and Hametts in Exeter also. I found a couple of Hammetts in Harpford also back there. Wish I could connect up with Samuel's forebears. Take a look at the Kingsbridge/Dodebrook Hammetts. Some people think our Samuel came from that location.

Hi List, This is the first time I have posted to this list, in response to Bev's challenge, although I have been watching and reading for a long time. I have learned a lot. So, basically I am researching a Knight line back from Hatherleigh, North Devon. They parish-jumped from Black Torrington after the marriage of one Henry of Black Torrington to Grace Westlake in BT in 1777, when their children were born in Hatherleigh. I have sort of felt my way back to another Henry in BT born 1664, and possibly even his father, John, but could not be 100% sure that it is all correct. Perhaps someone else out there is researching the same lot? I should also mention that I found five early family wills on the Devon Wills Project which may help to clarify the early generations and I was thrilled so thanks all round to those who contributed. I am very grateful. Carolyne Sydney, Australia [on a gorgeous summer's day] Now press Send and hope this works.

Thanks for this too, and thanks to everyone who contributed. Incidentally, the Mary HOWARD mentioned in the will that Joy posted was doubtless Mary STOOKE who married Peter HOWARD at Mamhead on 14 May 1799, and had at least 6 children, some of whom I've now been following up -- any possible connection with your HOWARD family? I think I've now identified every person mentioned in the will, and have been able to make or confirm a number of other connections between families that lived in Ashton, Ashcombe and Mamhead: STOOKE, ELLIS, HOWARD, ROWE, ATWILL/ATWELL and others. -- Keep well, Steve Hayes Blog: http://hayesgreene.wordpress.com Web: http://www.khanya.org.za/famhist1.htm E-mail: shayes@dunelm.org.uk

Morning, The name ATWILL/ATWELL mentioned on the list reminded me of my chap. I have an Andrew EDMONDS who married Alice LUSCOMBE 13 May 1579 at Stoke Fleming No children appear to be named after this Andrew However there is a Cicilia [or Ciceley] in 1587. Before the marriage of Andrew to Alice LUSCOMBE there was a Sicillia EDMUNDE buried at Whitchurch 12 Mar 1579 who may have been either Andrew's mother of a 1st wife. A Cicilaia EDMUNDS of Whitchurch has a marriage licence to marry Phillipp ATWELL of Walkhampton 10 Dec 1628. I am not sure if they married at Whitchurch though. Ciceley/Cicilia is a very unusual name for me so I figure it is the same Ciceley who is bapt at Stoke Fleming. Anyone with a Philip ATWELL/ATWILL at all anywhere? Bev

Carolyne, I don't know that there is any connection, but I'd be interested in finding out more about your line of Knight's as I am also researching the name. My line goes back to a Robert Knight & his wife Agnes who baptised several children in Wembworthy starting in 1695. I have been unable to find a birth, marriage or burial record for Robert.

Bev, I wonder whether they could be Latin abbreviations "per" [by] and then either "vicario" [by the vicar] or "curato" [by the curate]. Don't quote me on the exact Latin forms for the equivalent of the English "vicar" or "curate." in English-speaking countries the term "curate" is commonly used to describe assistant clergy to the parish priest, the vicar.

Joy, Thank you for your suggestion about Cole Town being a farm in Tavistock parish; I think it must be correct, because this 1715 document refers to it: http://www.foda.org.uk/militia/1715/tavistock/tavistock.htm As far as the document at the Devon Record Office is concerned, I am a little confused by the Devon Heritage Services website. I seem to be going around in circles about how to obtain a copy. The only method I can see to order it is to print out a PDF and then mail it in! Which leads me to wonder how I am supposed to know how many pages are involved and therefore to determine in advance how much it costs. The National Archives has a much better system of first getting an estimate of costs and then either proceeding or not. Perhaps you can enlighten me on the Devon Heritage Services policies.

It's more complex than just "foreign sources" . E-mail headers carry much more information that just to, from and date. Spam filters test for a number of variables including whether the sender is who they say they are and if the "list" is a cover for bulk spam mailing or a potential denial of service attach. This includes verifying the senders IP address. Spammers/Hackers spend a lot of time trying to evade filters and it is always a risk adding to the safe senders list. Every now and again somebodies e-mail is compromised and we get an invitation to follow a dubious link.

But emails in my junk folder have been from inside the uk and from people usually go straight to my inbox..... cheers, jane -----Original Message----- From: Lance L. Piatt Sent: Sunday, January 26, 2014 5:44 PM To: devon@rootsweb.com Subject: [DEV] Junk Email Folder Dear fellow list members, I figured out why some emails from the list go to the Junk email folder and others do not. It appears that Windows Live Mail determines that emails from foreign sources are automatically junk. In the Junk emial Folder, if I right click on the sender and select “Junk email” and then select “Add sender to the safe sender list”, and all following emails from that sender stops going to the Junk Folder. I hope this helps some of you.
