    2. Paul Hockie
    3. Blaine, According to Phillimore's Atlas and Index of Parish Registers the registers for Yealmpton exist from 1600. They are held in the Devon Records Office in Exeter and are in the IGI, the forerunner of Familysearch, and so will be in Family Search, although there is a risk of transcription errors. Although it was possible to delay or avoid baptism it was difficult to marry without a baptism. The parish was also the civil authority and baptism was the equivalent of a US social security number and the basis for local taxes and parish relief. You use the word "Farmer". A farmer leased or owned the land he farmed and was considered minor gentry. It would be difficult to avoid baptism. They leave a trail of wills and land transaction which can often be found by searching http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/ , the national index of archives. More likely is he was an Agricultural Labourer. I have found that agricultural labourers moved around the local parishes following the work. This had the effect of replacing aging populations and mixing the gene pool. Many towns villages held annual hiring fairs. Start with the surrounding parishes. Try http://maps.familysearch.org with the Ordnance Survey maps. There was a book but this seems to be out of print.

    3. Hi Jane, The Devon and Cornwall Record Society published "Exeter Freemen 1266-1967" in 1973, edited by Margery Rowe and Andrew Jackson both archivists at the Devon Record Office. This was a members only publication so I am not sure how easy it would be to get hold of a copy, certainly the reference section of most libraries in Devon would hold one. If it is just one name you are looking for let me know and I will look it up for you - it is indexed.

I sent an email to Exeter City Council asking if there was a list of people/groups who had been granted the freedome of the city - on their website there is mention of some groups but not a proper list. I've not heard back from them, so I thought I'd ask this list if anyone knows.
