Many thanks to those who have responded to my plea re Searles. Although I had some of the information that was submitted I had missed vital clues until they were pointed out to me. I also hadn't appreciated the wide variations in the Searle name that were recorded. I hadn't spotted that Isabella was with George and family and described as sister in the 51 census. George was married twice. Equally I hadn't looked at the image of Henry and Elizabeth's marriage. Upon doing so I discover that Henry was described as Sarle but signed as Sarls. Elizabeth on the other hand was actually named as Elizabella (hence my confusion). George Sarls was a witness. There is a baptism recorded of a George Seardles b. Oct 24th and bp Nov 8th 1812 in Cadbury. Father Henery Seardles and Isabel. Finally there is a Baptism of Henry, son of George and Susanna Sorle Oct 12th 1788. I think it is safe to conclude that George was the son of Henry and that the family came from Bickleigh. Lessons learnt - to realise how wide the perceived pronunciation must have been in the Devon accent of a name like Searle and always look at the original and don't trust the transcription. Starting my 100 lines now!! Thanks again to a great list. (If anyone can transcribe the extra words in the Baptism record of Henry Serle, Bickleigh Oct 1788 I would be even more grateful). --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

Hi David – I think I've found the baptism you're looking for (the same one Tim has just found) and believe your wife's SEARLE family from Cadbury was originally from Bickleigh. Starting with a wild card search for Sea* b Cadbury 1810-1815, both Ancestry and FamilySearch find: England Births and Christenings Name: George Seardles Christening Date: 08 Nov 1812 Christening Place: CADBURY,DEVON,ENGLAND Father's Name: Henery Seardles Mother's Name: Isabel Indexing Project (Batch) Number: C05010-1 , System Origin: England-ODM , GS Film number: 916767 while FMP has both transcription and image. That strongly supports your implied father and son relationship in the 1841 census between Henry SEARLE, age 52, thatcher, husband of Isabella, and George SEARLE, age 28, thatcher, husband of Harriet. Next looking for SEARDLE(S), any event, any time, anywhere in Devon, FamilySearch finds 11 results with at least 7 sound-alike variant spellings, including England Births and Christenings Name: Henry Seardle Christening Date: 04 Jan 1775 Christening Place: SAINT PETROX,DARTMOUTH,DEVON,ENGLAND Father's Name: William Seardle Mother's Name: Mary Indexing Project (Batch) Number: C05078-1 , System Origin: England-ODM , GS Film number: 917191 and another 1793 Searle/Seardell marriage in Dartmouth. So, is it just a coincidence that we find two Henry with the unusual name SEARDLES, one baptised in Dartmouth 1775, the other fathering George in Cadbury in 1812? Or are they one and the same? Probably not, because the 52-year-old Henry in the 1841 Cadbury census would have been born ca 1789 and therefore much too young to be the Henry born 1775. That Henry is probably the same person whose Cadbury burial of Henry SEARLE, 01 Feb 1846, age 58, has just been advised by Roy E Drew, which precludes finding him in the 1851 census. FamilySearch replicates some of Roy's SEARLE events in Cadbury but has none earlier than the baptism of George [SEARDLES] in 1813. GENUKI says the Cadburyy Deanery of Cadbury CD includes Cadbury Bapt: 1813-1839, Mar: 1754-1837, Bur: 1813-1837, so can you tell us, Roy, whether you find any earlier marriages in Cadbury of any SEARLE/SEARDLES/etc? In the absence of any earlier records we would have to assume that the SEARLE/SEARDLES family arrived in Cadbury shortly before 1812. Take a look at the Ancestry public tree WorldWideWebbsetal (Owner: barry_key ) which includes: Henry Searle (age 23 = born ca 1788) marriage on 27 Nov 1811 to Isabella JENKINS (age 19 = born ca 1792) at Bickleigh, Devon [no source cited] Isabella JENKINS, birth abt 1792, Morebath, Devon, England [source = 1871 census, grandmother of the by-now married and widowed Mary Ann (Searle) Hannabass] No parents for either partner. that is consistent with the mysterious note you mention. FMP has JENKINS Isabella 1791 Devon Baptisms Morebath, St George, Devon, England transcription & image FMP has the marriage of SARLE Henry and JENKINS Elizabeth 1811 Devon Marriages Bickleigh, Devon transcription & image So is Elizabeth just FMP's mistranscription of Isabella? FMP has 43 baptisms of SEARLE-ish names from 1732 onwards, including SERLE Henry 1788 Devon Baptisms Bickleigh, Devon transcription & image who must be the Henry age 52 in the 1841 census. Sorry I cannot inspect any of the images – my FMP has expired. I think that confirms Bickleigh and eliminates Dartmouth. Have fun in Bickleigh!

Hi David, FMP have a George SEARDLES son of Henery and Isabel. Born Oct 24th bapt Nov 8th 1812. Would suggest that this is probably the correct baptism, especially as a an Isabella Searle is a witness to his wedding, whether this is his mother or sister I don't know.

There are several children bapt between 1817 and 1838 in Cadbury. Parents Henry Serle (sp) and Isabella. Also a Mary Ann Searle to Henry & Isabella 2 March 1817. Possibily brothers and sisters? Could George have been bapt elsewhere? Or it could be that the baptism record is missing or not recorded. There is also a Henry Serle 16 April 1820 to Henry & Elizabeth. I’m researching Searles in from Staverton, Devon. The spelling changes frequently, even between siblings.

Sir Alexander Campbell was responsible for building the chapel for the Plymouth Brethren (1839 from memory). However, they only occupied it for a short time and it was purchased by a Methodist group well before 1875.

Hi Richard, Thank you for replying. Since my message I did some work on this line yesterday and with the help of my Wife's cousin established Mary Jane 's ancestors by one generation. Also I found several Vinnicombes arriving at South Molton from 1834 who may have been sisters when at about that time they seemed to have settled when records end about 1934/5. Do you have any interest in this family? I would be pleased to send what I have on BDM's found on the free webstite. IGI does not seem to be a very useful source for them! It was an error on my part when quoting Mary Ann as it should have been as you rightly say, Mary Jane, who originally was to be found just "plain Jane". Pardon the pun! We do not appear to connect to Mary Jane's family however but it was good to have her details but which I briefly examined yesterday. I did not realise there was so many of this name and variants, spread all across in Devon in the majority. I remember P.C. Vinnicombe returning to St Thomas in Exeter from war service to rejoin Exeter City Police and admired his many medals on his Police tunic. He retired in 1946 so my Wife's cousin Reg volunteers, he also served and was able to look up his details for me on the Exeter City Police website. Reg volunteers at DFHS Tree House on Tuesdays which is very useful and was the source for David Vinnicombes and his Wife, Emma record. I can mail you this, better still I will send it now. Husband, David Vinnicombe born about 1820, His Wife Emma, born about 1821, one child traced so far :- Mary Jane Vinnicombe born 1847 in South Molton, died 9th March 1883 at Pye Corner, Upton Pine, married Christopher Vanstone May 14th 1870, in Whitstone. I went to Exeter fairly recently and also was in touch with his daughter now in her 90.s and still possessing all her faculties, however I have a feeling she may have " passed on". From memory I think she said her Father was from Plymtree. Others from Plymtree lived in Exeter Hill, Cullompton at some time on the old main A 38. Others were football managers for local teams and one a former member of Cullompton Bowling Club has his own bowls shop I think at The Derwent Hotel in Belgrave Road, Torquay. This may not be currently correct as I have not competed due to illness for the last two years. I have been following the thread of this topic and appreciate all the hard work gone into finding it appears the right John whose birth is recorded in Cullompton, where we have lived since 1976. Incidentally I worked with two brothers, both now passed on, who were in the building trade, played bowls as I did, were employed also by the Mid Devon District Council. Having consulted the phone book one widow of the brothers is still listed in the very recent publication! Another is commemorated on the Willand War memorial, John I think , as having returned alive from the Great War so the 1911 census should find him to which I do not have access. I am in the process of transferring numerous F/T. s to a Mac from Windows, a laborious job hence no subscription to Ancestry on FMP as yet. I have sent of for the South Molton CD from DFHS. My line is Hopper/Larkworthy and Hopper/Wyatt with a possible connection through Larkworthy/Vanstone and Hopper/Vanstone in the case of Ann and Nancy Hopper but both with John. The Shebbear parish records are my main and confirmed sources. Hopper/Wyatt trees has been confirmed with members of SOG also researching this line. sincerely Dave.

I think that you will find that this marriage was to Mary Jane VINNICOMBE under that bmd reference. In the 1881 census and married by then as Mary Jane VANSTONE, she confirms to have been born in South Molton. I can find no record of this birth un that district. Mary Ann VINNICOMBE, on the other hand, married in Tiverton District [Cullompton?] either James Hawkins in Jun 1868, John Henry Harding or Frederick John Willey in Dec 1872. I feel that she is the daughter of Robert VINNICOMBE and Mary COLES and granddaughter of the elusive John VINNICOMBE born Devon 1767, but more work needs to be done on it. I was informed today by the Devon Record Office that there is a 16 August 1767 John VINNICOMBE baptism in Cullompton, and there is a suitable one there too for his son Robert on 30 Nov 1800.. I am sorry to say that I have no record of a David VIN-N-ICOMBE. In fact, there is only one person who could fit the bill; David certainly was not a fashionable name. That person (not in my tree) was born David William Cappell VINNICOMBE Honiton Jun 1864. I cannot trace a marriage or death for him. Regretfully unable to help with this person. Thank you for approachinng me, With Best Wishes, Richard in Brighton ================= Hi Richard, My Wife grandmother was Mary Ann Vinnicombe born about 1848 in South Molton, she married Christoper Vanstone, 14th. May, 1870, and they had four children then settling in and around Exeter. We know no more about her! Two of us have extensive information about the Vanstone families and we both descend from what appears to be different branches which may be of no interest to you. I had a quick look at my aged Vinnicombe file and saw there are 13 in Exeter phone book. There is also Vearncombe and one Vinniecombe. We were looking recent for a David Vinnicombe who was supposedly a relative of ours aged u/k. Thought this may help!

Many thanks to Edna and Tim for coming to my aid in figuring out the minister's name. The name is not familiar to me, and the first two letters don't look much like T and R, but the evidence indicates Trengove alright. Thanks again for your kind assistance. Doug.

-----Original Message----- From: Jane Lucas via Sent: Saturday, September 27, 2014 12:55 PM I just wanted to thank all who helped to put together information for Susan Harvey, particularly Joy Langdon, and Tim Treeby. I have now gone through everything you dug up and put it together with what I had. The result is that, not only did I find several brothers and sisters for Susan, but also in-laws, nephews and nieces etc. Thanks to your work I was able to trace some of her ancestors back to pre 1700 and many of her extended family. Her parents did indeed have spouses who were brother/sister. (Betsey/Jane, William/John). Betsey followed Susan to Liverpool and is found close by. Her son Edwin was a witness at the marriage of my Gt. Grandfather. They seem to have been a close family as nieces and sisters come and go in the Census data staying with relatives, whether in Liverpool or Devon. The naval/coastguard link is intriguing. Tammy Solomon’s family appear to have come to Wembury possibly from St. Petrox. Her brother fought at the Battle of the Nile in 1798 on HMS Minotaur. He was awarded one of the Davidson medals. I am still following up much of this information. All set off with your help. Thank you again. Regards Jane Lucas Devon

On the genuki.devon website you will find that there is an OPC for High Bray .   Each parish in Devon has a separate page and you can obtain quite a bit of information from this source .     ________________________________ From: STUART BLAKE via <devon@rootsweb.com> To: "devon@rootsweb.com" <devon@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, 10 October 2014, 5:08 Subject: [DEV] John Blake and Jane marriage I am looking for a way to find this marriage around 1750 time frame.  We know they had 3 children christened in North Molton, but no marriage is listed there for them.  No date or place can be found for John Blake and Jane in any marriage index I have seen.  I am interested in the Twitchen marriage records, as well as High Bray marriage and Christen records, to see if the married in a neighboring Parish.  I cannot find any records online for these parishes that I can search. I have found a removal order for their youngest child christened in North Molton (also named John) from North Molton to Simonsbath which included his wife and two young children in 1800.  From what I can find, there was no parish in Simonsbath in 1750.  However, I am interested in the history of Simonsbath, particularly of any and all mention of the last name of Blake.  Any advise?  Your help is much appreciated. A sincere thanks from across the pond.  Stuart ************************************* ------------------------------------------ The DEVON-L mailing list is co-sponsored by GENUKI/Devon ( http://genuki.cs.ncl.ac.uk/DEV/ ) and the Devon FHS (http://www.devonfhs.org.uk/ ) List archive for Devon can be found at http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index/DEVON/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to DEVON-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Could it be Sir Alexander Campbell.... Check in the book: Nonconformity in Exeter 1650-1875 by Allan Brockett Edna - sunny Ottawa -----Original Message----- From: Doug Bray via Sent: Friday, October 10, 2014 9:46 AM To: DEVON@rootsweb.com Subject: [DEV] Providence Chapel, Northernhay St., Exeter Hello - I've got a baptismal certificate for Florence Roberts, 1875, at this chapel. I'd like to make out the name of the minister, but despite it being written twice, it quites eludes me. His first name is Alexander, but the second name is impenetrable. It looks like Isengore, but this is a guess. I do believe that it ends with the "gore" however. If anyone can shed some light on this person, I'd be very grateful. Doug (in Southport).
