Hi Paul, I will look into those documents. Unfortunately as you say they can be costly to have copies made and may not turn out to be all that interesting! I have had some experience with 16th century documents and can generally read them provided they are in English. From Jenny Stiles -----Original Message----- From: Paul Hockie via DEVON Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2019 4:22 AM To: [email protected] Cc: Paul Hockie Subject: [DEV] Re: [EXTERNAL] Seymour family of Berry Pomeroy Jenny, Unfortunately, most documents held in archives and elsewhere are only catalogued and not indexed. The standard of cataloguing varies but most are just a brief description of the contents and very few have been imaged. For wills, most those that remain for Devon are those proven at Canterbury and held in the National Archive. These have been imaged and can be downloaded for a reasonable fee. Look at the Genuki Devon wills index for a comprehensive list of Devon Wills, mostly compiled from indexes made before the fire destroyed most of them. All I can suggest is you search the National Archives Discovery catalogue and the local archives against a set of keywords. They all seem to offer a digitising service but the prices may vary. Beware of spelling e.g. Probate lawsuit Seymour v Seymour and others, concerning the deceased Sir Edward Seymour bart of... Prerogative Court of Canterbury: Allegations. Described at item level. Probate lawsuit Seymour v Seymour and others, concerning the deceased Sir Edward Seymour bart of Bury Powenry, Devonshire but late of Maiden Bradley, Wiltshire. Allegation and 2 interrogatories. Held by: The National Archives, Kew - Prerogative Court of Canterbury Date: 1708 Reference: PROB 18/30/1 Subjects: Wills and probate This is not imaged but you can request a copy which will be priced on a per page basis. A search for "Berry Pomeroy" and Seymour 1500-1599 gives 75 hits 68 of which are in local archives. Also search google. Archive.org and jstor amongst several organisation that have downloadable records. Researching the 16c and earlier is a fairly specialised subject and I would advise reading up on the subject. This will help avoid costly mistakes. Start with https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/medieval-early-modern-family-history/ and check out the book list, Section 8. I think Devon FHS have an arrangement with Pharos who offer distance learning courses.

Amongst other things, this would agree the dowry of the bride. If it still exists, then it is most likely to be in the records office. It may be worth looking at the history of the residences of both families. Did they have a chapel or a muniments room. Probably not built looking at the history of the buildings may yield some clues, in particular what family papers may have existed. If they still exist they are probably not indexed and just catalogued as "records of".

From Jenny -----Original Message----- From: Paul Hockie via DEVON Sent: Monday, December 02, 2019 4:11 AM To: [email protected] Cc: Paul Hockie Subject: [DEV] Re: [EXTERNAL] Seymour family of Berry Pomeroy Jenny According to my Philimore the registers for Berry Pomeroy only start in 1602 although Boyd's Marriage index has entries from 1596. Prior to this you have, if they still exist, estate and family papers, wills and heralds visitations. Estate and family papers usually end up in the local archives but some may be in TNA. If the estate had its own chapel, those papers could be in the archives. I just google Heralds visitations on name and place. This will throw up sites like archive.org who seem to have scanned large numbers of 16/17c documents. Unfortunately many of these documents follow the male line but if the daughter someone of equal standing that could appear in her husband's line. Musters, taxes etc. probably don't help as they are name and place only, no lineage. Finally the Society of Genealogists and FamilySearch have books and documents related to assorted Seymour families. Cheers Paul -----Original Message----- From: Jenny Stiles [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 01 December 2019 04:52 To: [email protected] Subject: [DEV] [EXTERNAL] Seymour family of Berry Pomeroy Hi List, I am wondering if anybody can help me work out where I might find records for the Seymour & Farewell family? My 11th Great Grandmother is Mary Seymour [died 13 Dec 1660], daughter of Sir Edward Seymour & his wife Elizabeth Champernowne [who married 19th September 1576 at Dartington, Devon when Edward was only 13. . There is a memorial at Berry Pomeroy, Devon which gives the date of death for Sir Edward Seymour [10th April 1613] & records Elizabeth [dau of Arthur Champernowne] as his wife & the information that they had 11 children, but the MI doesn't mention her date of death. "Geni" gives her date of death as 6th September 1613, but I am not sure what the source of this information is. One of those 11 children was Mary Seymour who was married to Sir George Farewell [1579-14 May 1647] by July 1609 [George's father, another George Farewell mentions his son George & his wife in his will of that date & refers to the Seymours]. However, I can't find any indication of Mary's age, baptism or the actual marriage. I am hoping that they might be found somewhere in Devon records? Sir George & Mary's MI at Hills Bishop, Somerset confirms her Seymour parentage [as does her will which mentions her sisters Cary & Bruen]. It also mentions 20 children; Six are baptised at Bishops Hull, five between 1613 & 1620 & one in 1627 John, Thomas, Edward, Margaret [my line], Marie & Arthur], a further 4 from George & Mary's will & one more name from online pedigrees [so may not be correct] for a total of 12, so eight are missing and at least six are missing baptisms [Elizabeth,Jane, Dorothy, Nathaniel, George & James]. Mary refers to her daughters by surname only in her will [Norris, Farewell & Bruen] so they might be in addition to those in the list, but unfortunately I can't find their marriages either, so I can't work out which daughters married men with those surnames. Possibly some of their children were baptised in Devon before 1612? I also wondered in Edward Seymour [died 1613] might have left a will? That might shed some light on Grandchildren if I was very lucky!

Many old Somerset wills housed in the Devon Record Office were also destroyed in that WW2 Exeter bombing. In particular, those villages just over the Devon border. I was told this some 10 years ago by the Somerset Record Office when I was searching for my Brushford ancestor's 1799 Will. And yes, I'm speaking of Brushford Somerset which is a small village near Dulverton. cheers, pamela -----Original Message----- From: Jenny Stiles [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, December 03, 2019 5:17 PM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: [DEV] Re: Seymour family of Berry Pomeroy wills Hi Terry, Thank you -I hadn't realised that most Devon wills were lost in the bombing. (SNIP)

Be sure to look in the Devon Genuki. While many wills were destroyed, some had been sent for whatever reason to other Archives. I was very lucky to find the Wills of my 3xgrandfather and 4xgrandfather, and was able to order them and read them. I think I paid about 10 pounds each and they were copied and sent to me by email. So exhaust all your resources. My ancestors were tradesmen and one was an Excisor, but not "Sir" anything. You might find them.

Jenny, there may be some information on the 1593 will (Administration) of Edward Seymour as the reference against the FMP listing of it refers to the following comment: " Our set of JHA items has been created from the listings of Devon-related Prerogative Court of Canterbury Administrations, prepared by Jean Harris for GENUKI/Devon. Copies of most if not all of the volumes listed above should in fact be available in the reference section of any large library of a major city. However, if you wish to obtain a copy of the original administration, please contact The National Archives. It would almost certainly reduce the time the staff there have to spend locating a specific admon if you quoted both the PROB 6/xx reference, and the folio number shown in the GENUKI/Devon Adminstration pages mentioned above. The PROB 6/xx reference can be found from the TNA catalogue PROB 6 listing."

No, is the quick answer. Most Devon wills pre 1858 were lost in WW2. This index has been compiled to show what is available. Your 2 wills don't exist any more. A copy of the 1709 will should on Ancestry under the PCC Wills category. The 1753 one you'll need to scroll down to the source on the search result page of FMP With this index IT IS VITAL to scroll down to read the information on how it was set up and where the information comes from Terry On 03/12/2019 11:49, Jenny Stiles wrote: > Hi Terry, > I just checked on FMP index & they list wills for Edward Seymour 1593 > and Edward Seymour 1613-both mine.

Jenny, Unfortunately, most documents held in archives and elsewhere are only catalogued and not indexed. The standard of cataloguing varies but most are just a brief description of the contents and very few have been imaged. For wills, most those that remain for Devon are those proven at Canterbury and held in the National Archive. These have been imaged and can be downloaded for a reasonable fee. Look at the Genuki Devon wills index for a comprehensive list of Devon Wills, mostly compiled from indexes made before the fire destroyed most of them. All I can suggest is you search the National Archives Discovery catalogue and the local archives against a set of keywords. They all seem to offer a digitising service but the prices may vary. Beware of spelling e.g. Probate lawsuit Seymour v Seymour and others, concerning the deceased Sir Edward Seymour bart of... Prerogative Court of Canterbury: Allegations. Described at item level. Probate lawsuit Seymour v Seymour and others, concerning the deceased Sir Edward Seymour bart of Bury Powenry, Devonshire but late of Maiden Bradley, Wiltshire. Allegation and 2 interrogatories. Held by: The National Archives, Kew - Prerogative Court of Canterbury Date: 1708 Reference: PROB 18/30/1 Subjects: Wills and probate This is not imaged but you can request a copy which will be priced on a per page basis. A search for "Berry Pomeroy" and Seymour 1500-1599 gives 75 hits 68 of which are in local archives. Also search google. Archive.org and jstor amongst several organisation that have downloadable records. Researching the 16c and earlier is a fairly specialised subject and I would advise reading up on the subject. This will help avoid costly mistakes. Start with https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/medieval-early-modern-family-history/ and check out the book list, Section 8. I think Devon FHS have an arrangement with Pharos who offer distance learning courses.

I will check the catalogues for the relevant archives, but from Australia I can't check anything easily unless it is described accurately enough to be sure it is what I am after! I was hoping a family as well known as the Seymours would have been well documents already. There is of course a lot written about them, but it is short on dates and places, especially for the women.

Amongst other things, this would agree the dowry of the bride. If it still exists, then it is most likely to be in the records office. It may be worth looking at the history of the residences of both families. Did they have a chapel or a muniments room. Probably not built looking at the history of the buildings may yield some clues, in particular what family papers may have existed. If they still exist they are probably not indexed and just catalogued as "records of".

From Jenny -----Original Message----- From: Paul Hockie via DEVON Sent: Monday, December 02, 2019 4:11 AM To: [email protected] Cc: Paul Hockie Subject: [DEV] Re: [EXTERNAL] Seymour family of Berry Pomeroy Jenny According to my Philimore the registers for Berry Pomeroy only start in 1602 although Boyd's Marriage index has entries from 1596. Prior to this you have, if they still exist, estate and family papers, wills and heralds visitations. Estate and family papers usually end up in the local archives but some may be in TNA. If the estate had its own chapel, those papers could be in the archives. I just google Heralds visitations on name and place. This will throw up sites like archive.org who seem to have scanned large numbers of 16/17c documents. Unfortunately many of these documents follow the male line but if the daughter someone of equal standing that could appear in her husband's line. Musters, taxes etc. probably don't help as they are name and place only, no lineage. Finally the Society of Genealogists and FamilySearch have books and documents related to assorted Seymour families. Cheers Paul -----Original Message----- From: Jenny Stiles [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 01 December 2019 04:52 To: [email protected] Subject: [DEV] [EXTERNAL] Seymour family of Berry Pomeroy Hi List, I am wondering if anybody can help me work out where I might find records for the Seymour & Farewell family? My 11th Great Grandmother is Mary Seymour [died 13 Dec 1660], daughter of Sir Edward Seymour & his wife Elizabeth Champernowne [who married 19th September 1576 at Dartington, Devon when Edward was only 13. . There is a memorial at Berry Pomeroy, Devon which gives the date of death for Sir Edward Seymour [10th April 1613] & records Elizabeth [dau of Arthur Champernowne] as his wife & the information that they had 11 children, but the MI doesn't mention her date of death. "Geni" gives her date of death as 6th September 1613, but I am not sure what the source of this information is. One of those 11 children was Mary Seymour who was married to Sir George Farewell [1579-14 May 1647] by July 1609 [George's father, another George Farewell mentions his son George & his wife in his will of that date & refers to the Seymours]. However, I can't find any indication of Mary's age, baptism or the actual marriage. I am hoping that they might be found somewhere in Devon records? Sir George & Mary's MI at Hills Bishop, Somerset confirms her Seymour parentage [as does her will which mentions her sisters Cary & Bruen]. It also mentions 20 children; Six are baptised at Bishops Hull, five between 1613 & 1620 & one in 1627 John, Thomas, Edward, Margaret [my line], Marie & Arthur], a further 4 from George & Mary's will & one more name from online pedigrees [so may not be correct] for a total of 12, so eight are missing and at least six are missing baptisms [Elizabeth,Jane, Dorothy, Nathaniel, George & James]. Mary refers to her daughters by surname only in her will [Norris, Farewell & Bruen] so they might be in addition to those in the list, but unfortunately I can't find their marriages either, so I can't work out which daughters married men with those surnames. Possibly some of their children were baptised in Devon before 1612? I also wondered in Edward Seymour [died 1613] might have left a will? That might shed some light on Grandchildren if I was very lucky!
