Hi Richard, I have checked with the senior family member and what you say about Christopher Vanstone and his two marriages is correct, we have all the dates Mary Ann Martin who would have been my Wife's grandmother's step Mother. Christopher and her had seven children, a line not followed up. Thank you for pointing out the Mary Jane and Mary Ann connection. We have have sparse information for Mary Jane Vinnicombe, found in the workhouse in South Molton with her Mother. We are unsure of any further connection on the male line! Good luck with Robert and hope you find what you are seeking. sincerely, Dave. ======================================== Message Received: Oct 25 2014, 06:55 PM From: "Richard Jones via" To: devon@rootsweb.com Cc: Subject: [DEV] Christopher VANSTONE married Mary Jane VINNICOMBE Hallo Dave and All, Thank you for your message. If I remember rightly, when you first came on line, you were talking about a Mary Anne VINNICOMBE being the connection between the VANSTONEs and the VINNICOMBEs. I pointed out that the person that married Christopher VANSTONE was Mary Jane, not Mary Anne VINNICOMBE. I have the suspicion that you were confused about these first names of, what turns out to be, Christopher’s first wife. This being so, might you have had her second married name, Mary Anne VANSTONE, in mind when you spoke of South Molton as her place of birth, instead of her maiden name Mary Jane MARTIN born South Molton Mar 1843 10 19. A Mary Jane VANSTONE was born South Molton Sep 1860 10 203 but this, I think, is a red herring. Details of the Mary Jane VANSTONEVANSTONE/MARTIN marriage are – Exeter Mar 1885 5b 174. Christopher’s first wife, Mary Jane born VINNICOMBE, died St ThomasMar 1883 5b 45 Comparing Christopher’s appearances in the 1881 and 1891 censuses confirms the change that has taken place, and although some of the dates are a bit wobbly, I am convinced that this is the same family with a different mother. Christopher’s second wife was born in Tedburn St Mary, so there I think that the confusion was brought about by using the wrong names. Pease let me know what you think. I am going to order a copy of the VIINICOME/VANSTONE marriage certifcate to ensure that the bride’s father was Robert VINNICOMBE who I am now convinced was baptised in Cullompton on 30 Oct 1800 as were one of his brothers, William, and his father, John.

I have been working with the North Lew parish registers on FMP quite extensively and ran across this baptismal record. Because some pertinent information is buried in a note and liable not to be indexed, I wanted to bring it to the attention of this list. "William son of a Travelling woman, who names herself the wife of Andrew Pymm of Huxham [baptized] July 3 [1768]." FMP includes the marriage register of Huxham, which states that Andrew PYM married Joan RUCKLEY, both otp, on 12 October 1767. I have not followed further, although the name of the bride interests me. I have been working on a ROCKEY one-name study and sometimes the name shows up as ROCKLEY. So I wonder whether RUCKLEY might be another variant. David Langenberg Newark, Delaware, USA

Hi, in the 1851 census John Hill , b Haddenham , Bucks and his wife Sarah , 52, are living in Gillingham in Kent.........he is a saddler and Greenwich Pensioner, she is born Devonshire , Clonerly , or Cloverly ? My money is on Clovelly ??? At his Attestation in the Royal Marines , John HIll is paid 2shillings and 6d by Capt Philips who recruited him. He seems to have been paid a further 10shillings on Approval which leaves £2.7s.6d credit per ledger. 10th March 1821 . The Attestation form says " he voluntarily enlisted himself for the Bounty of Three Pounds ." Can someone explain this further .......how would John Hill have known of the Bounty , and would he have this credit to draw on during his service ? He was a saddler by trade and from Buckinghamshire . life is hard . soften it with a cat \\\=^..^=///
