Hi Bev: Could I ask you to do a little more to help our Devon Wills Project task, by pulling together into an occasional single document for us the information from your various individual messages that concern actual wills, in each case providing full details of your source of the information. We are very busy readying the Devon Wills Project for inclusion in the National Wills Index, and spotting will information in your stream of messages, and identifying the sources you are using, is time consuming and error prone. Your recent messages: > Another find, and not mine > > 2 July 1664 > > Mentions > George FOXWELL in the Citty of Exon, in Deavon [sic] England > > Something to do with New England. > Again, he is not mine. > > Middlesex Probate Files > > Simon SHEPARD of Newfoundland, formerly of Budley [sic], County Devon - > Admin 1696 > > Bev are examples of ones that are difficult for me to deal with on their own, as your message stream gets rather scattered among the mountain of email I have to deal with each day.

Hi Jane, Sorry it wasn't The Freedom he was granted - I expect they were given another sort of civic honour - there should be a book in the reference section of the city library listing those honoured for bravery during the war by E.C.C. In the 20c roughly only one person a year was made a freeman of the city, these were visiting dignitaries or men entitled "by succession". Kind regards Roz -----Original Message----- From: devon-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:devon-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Jane Hope Sent: 25 November 2013 19:17 To: DEVON@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [DEV] Exeter people/groups granted freedom of the city Thank you all for trying to help re the people who've been granted the freedom of the city. I'll explain how my quest has come about. Many of you may know of a website Exeter Memories - rather a good site where people have added their memories of Exeter (I've done so myself). Anyway Exeter Memories now has a Facebook page and a number of us were "chatting" and remembered a bus conductor who was a real character and his name was Archie. I went on to say that my mother had told me that he'd been granted the freedom of the city along with a couple of other men for bravery during WWII. If you could help Roz, I'd be most grateful, but I don't know anything other than the man's name was Archie (short for Archibald I assume) and would have been given sometime around 1945 I would think. Most grateful Best wishes, Jane PS - sorry for delay in response but I've been away for a few days. > From: RozMH@talktalk.net > To: devon@rootsweb.com > Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2013 07:15:35 +0000 > Subject: Re: [DEV] Exeter people/groups granted freedom of the city > > Bev I was offering to look-up for Jane - I have the book. > Thanks anyway. > > Roz > > -----Original Message----- > From: devon-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:devon-bounces@rootsweb.com] > On Behalf Of B.

Hi Bev I have a lot of Coffin/Coffyn names in my family tree, but this one is new to me. I would like to know where he fits in to this family. I also have the Pine Coffin name from a Pine to Coffin marriage. Can't help a smile when I see the likes of John Pine Coffin in the family tree.
