Gordon, Be careful on assuming this John Bennett is your ancestor. John Bennetts born in England in the 1820's exceeds 3000 with 180 born in Devon (Familysearch) and Sailors "run away to sea". You say "print outs", is this an index and can you get the original records they may have more information. There may be information in the National Archives BT series but I could only find references to a Euphrates for the 1880/90s Cheers Paul ________________________________ From: Gordon Bennett via <devon@rootsweb.com> To: devon@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, 21 January 2015, 6:44 Subject: [DEV] JOHN BENNETT Hi list, After suggestions from the very helpful list I have found a JOHN BENNETT baptized OCT 12/1823 son of JOSEPH and ANN BENNETT in the parish of Stoke-Damerel  ,abode Dock.

I have a Bridget Voisey who married Robert Ebdon on 12 Oct 1742 at Ottery St Mary. Despite many years of searching, I know nothing more about her although I would think she was probably born between 1705 and 1728. Robert Ebdon was baptised on 10 Feb 1708: the son of Robert Ebdon of Ottery St Mary and Isaat Franke of Sidbury.

Hi Peter; Many thanks for your message and the enclosed information. Since sending my original message, I have also received a copy of the Mary HAMLYN/George HEYWARD marriage register at Chagford and come to similar conclusions as yourself. However, the names of the Josias siblings you provided may prove very useful once I obtain the will of George. It may positively identify George and Mary knowing at least some of their offspring. Regarding a baptism for George, I am tending towards the first on your list; ie: North Bovey on 16 May 1762 son of Richard & Honour. Many thanks once again.

This was at Chagford on 5 April 1807. The register records it as "Josias son of George Heyward (of Withecombe in the moor) and Mary his wife". Secondly, looking at the marriage of George & Mary. The register entry shows: "George Hayward, Sojourner and Mary Hamlyn of this parish married by banns 4 February 1793" He signed she made her mark. They were married in the presence of Nicholas Smerdon and John Tremills (he was witness to others on the page so probably a church official). Thirdly, Josias' siblings seem to be: Ann in 1793, Peter in 1796, George in 1798 and Mary in 1801 all baptised at Widecombe in the Moor. Possible baptisms for George Heyward are: North Bovey on 16 May 1762 son of Richard & Honour. (about 4.5 miles from Widecombe) Colebrooke on 21 September 1761 son of William & Ann. (about 15 miles from Widecombe) Colebrooke on 29 March 1767 son of John & Frances Probable baptism for Mary Hamlyn is at Widecombe in the Moor on 25 June 1770 daughter of John and Grace. Regards Peter Hi Listers; Since the list is fairly quite at the moment, I thought I would post one of my long standing brick walls to do with a branch of the HAMLYN/HEYWARD family. It has been suggested by another researcher that the head of a particular branch here in Australia is a Mary HAMLYN and George HEYWARD of Widecombe in the Moor. No date of birth is known, however they would need to have been born approximately 1770 as they were married in Widecombe on 4 Feb 1793 and had at least a son and a daughter. This is all the information we have on this couple. They had a son Josias George HEYWARD born most probably in Widecombe in 1806. He died in Tasmania, Australia, in 1886. After previously going through my HAMLYN and HEYWARD data looking for these two without success, I am now resorting to posting on the list hoping someone may be able to assist. My data on these two names is extensive but I cannot pin-point those in question. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Len I've been lurking for quite some time on this list. Mary Louise and i share Ann Hamlyn as an ancestor. I've been looking on the map and it appears Chagford is only about 15 miles from the Cookbury region. Also, as few generations back, it appeared the Jeffery's had come from a tad further east in Devon. I suspected Tiverton and Sandford if I recall, but couldn't make a connection. Anyway, in my own searches for Hamlyn's in Devon just now the next closest I can find is in Bideford, about 15 miles clear the other direction from the Cookbury area. Given that, outside of checking the Bideford woman out, your Mary in Chagford seems to be the next best thing from our perspective!...:) We have Ann estimated to be born around 1777, but that is simply a guess as far as i know, the marraige date less 20. Her husband was born in 1758. Ann could just as easily have been born about 1767, putting her only 3 years from your Mary. Well, that isif Mary-Louise has not located something in the years since we wrote...:) Can someone tell us where to find other children John and Grace Hamlyn of Widecombe in the Moor? Or any ann Hamlyn from there about that time? It's been a few years since I did any Devon research...shrug Hi Mary-Louise, hope all well with you! p.s. If I recall, Mary-Louise thought Elizabeth Davey may have ended up in Plymouth, I think it was, which shows travel or 30 or 40 miles wsn't out of the question. Any help appreciated.

If you browse on for a couple of pages to May 7th 1843 entry 349 William Crocker his abode is shown as Blindswell Cottage.  I am sure there will be other earlier and later references. This was probable an estate labourers cottage that may appear on some contemporary Ordnance Survey maps or the various parish and estate records, including Tithe records. Enter Doddiscombsleigh into the National Archives Discovery Catalogue http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ to see what records are held in national and local archives. I noticed that his birth seems to have been registered in St Thomas, Devon. What does his birth certificate say?
