I wonder if there is anyone who is familiar with the Devon Militia, I have an interest in William Hammett who served in the North Devon Militia, he was a Cpl in 1800 and a Sgt in 1819, and I beleive he was born in Barnstaple C 1777. Can any one help with any info on this chap ....partcularly with his place/date of birth and any marriage(s) and children. He appears to have been a long time member of the militia, so would he have received a pension when he was discharged .... and did Militia men qualify as Chelsea pentioners ??? Thank you all for any help .... and Best Wishes for XMAS ..... Peter Hammett in UK

I think you're right Terry. Ts are different. The name does end with ll. I retire, confounded....

I'm just catching up on emails and couldn't resist this. I don't believe the surname is Snell. I don't recognise the first letter - maybe a G, not dissimilar to George - but I'd say the later letters are erett. Could it be Gerett? Good luck with it.

Hi Martin The PRs for Chawleigh have been indexed as Chagford.... It's a bit tricky searching and identifying the correct pages as it seems that the Chagford registers are also there, but start a little later and a search under the village name results in entries for both. The digital images are so much clearer than the originals but the Serrell/Snell interpretation will give me some hours work I think. I agree that it certainly looks like Serell, and there are several entries earlier that are also Sereall, Small, Smale, Scott as well as Snell. What is causing confusion is that some of the Serell entries actually do appear to be Snells, based on subsequent wills and other records. I am going to go through my list and note down each entry and then any corroborating evidence for the accurate identification of the individual as a Snell or otherwise. My interest is in the SNELL families in mid Devon and with another researcher, have amassed a huge amount of info on these families - of course, piecing it together is the challenge!

                      Hi, thanks Daniel I didn`t find a bapt either but this is the difficulty with a huge coast line, marines, war or invasion always on the horizon, and a seafaring entrepreneurial population.   They could have married anywhere but I am hoping the answer is more ordinary and prosaic and that Sarah and John married in Kent just prior to the birth of Priscilla in 1829. I am somewhat exercised by the gap between Priscilla in  1829 and Jane in 1837 though I think there may have been a John .   I am quite surprised he was permitted to marry whilst still serving .   I have had to resort to crossing a palm with silver to get a skim search of the Greenwich pensioners records in the hope of finding a more detailed record of his service , but how many John Hills are there !!!!!

Youngman is certainly an interesting description - with all the available resources there doesn't seem to be any other Georges (Sarell or Snell) in Chawleigh that would be older - the next entries are baptisms and the first burial after 1599 is of a man born after 1599.

Hello Marlene - Whereas you have a particular interest in the SNELL family of Chawleigh, I concur with Elizabeth and Daniel that your image looks more like SERELL (the -LL ending being consistent with the month of "Apritt"). I'm curious to know where/how you found it on FMP because FMP does not appear to have any Chawleigh burials until much later. Did you find any other recognizable rendition of "Snell" or "Serell" in the Chawleigh PRs around 1600? Upcote appears as the placename Upcott (hamlet/farm?) on the Chawleigh parish map on Genuki. You are probably familiar with the many SNELL/Chawleigh entries from 1585 onwards in the Devon Wills Project (also searchable on FMP) but there are also several SEARLE/SARELL/SEARELL entries from 1590 onwards, and similar names appear in adjacent parishes such as Lapford and Chumleigh. Diane suggested a different reading as ERROTT but DWP also has the will of a George ESCOTT of Chawleigh, proved in 1580 - probably the same man who bought Court Castle in Winkleigh in 1550 (google it) so could that be the name in your image?

I have come across something similar to this describing a "young man". That is someone who was not an infant but not yet an adult, possibly a pre-teen and indicating he had no children. As the name pool was small at this time and it was important to manage lineage for residence and heritance purposes. The "younger" and the "elder" are fairly common but in Halberton at this period the name of the farm was added where there were a number of families with the same collection of forenames and the same family name, one of whom was an incomer. When research reaches this period, I recommend a copy of Palaeography for Local and Family Historians by Hilary Marshall which has examples of script variations together with worked transcription. For the record I believe the name is a variation of Sorrell.

Can't help with the marriage but in 1861 John is a widower, occupation licenced victualler living at St Margaret St, St Nicholas, Medway, Kent with daughter Matilda aged 19.

Elizabeth, I suggest mapping out his movements using the musters in the National Archives together with any discharge documents. I have found that servicemen on the move often married daughters of their colleagues as well as local girls. You can then check the local records. There is a record on Familysearch England and Wales Non-Conformist Record Indexes (RG4-8), 1588-1977 Name: John Hills Event Type: Marriage Marriage Date: 21 May 1825 Marriage Place: Paris, France Affiliate Publication Number: RG33_063 The details and image are available on The Genealogist, who also have other non-conformist and overseas registrations. I also noticed that Priscilla was baptised in Manner Street Wesleyan Chapel and that she seems to have a sister, Jane baptised 1837 in the same place. The LDS have a microfilm of this church.

There are some MOSS baptisms at Clovelly around 1800, though I don't see a Sarah. How about that for "Clonerley"? Doesn't necessarily help with the marriage, though.

Thank you to all who kindly looked at the image - and to all your comments. Leads to more research....

I agree with Elizabeth that the surname is Serell, not Snell. Compare the ER pairs in RychERd RattenbERye in the last line. I also agree with Elizabeth that John is thelder (the elder) of Upcott and George is yoongman (young man). I don't think I've seen the comment "young man" before. I wonder whether it implies there was another George who was older, or is it just descriptive?

Based on other entries in the same hand over several years (and corroborated by the transcribers at FMP) we think the surname for both gentlemen is SNELL I am wondering if a. John Snell _________ of UPCOTE? was Buryed the xviith of June FMP have John Snell Senior but I don't think so. I think it's a ff and ending in r but could it be widdow? Or ye elder? George Snell _______ was Buryed the xxth of June - the unknown word seems to start in y but could be lower case g/ There is a y directly below it in Rychard Ratteberye.
