How bizarre - glad you could connect I just came across a match within my own family that matches with a distant family of my husband's - no there is definitely no blood relation Just goes to show you how close in proximity everyone lived in those days. I constantly come across matches that were on the same census as children and then years later got married Judy BC Canada ________________________________ From: Nancy Frey <[email protected]> Sent: November 2, 2019 12:04 PM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Cc: Bill Hancock <[email protected]> Subject: [DEV] Re: BRICK WALL - BREND/DAVEY - BARNSTAPLE Hi Judy, Would you believe that I am in the middle of sorting out my HAMLYN families from Bideford & Clovelly?

Hi Bill I was just wondering, are you sure Sarah's father was called William? I have a Sarah Jane Davey in my family tree. She was born in Barnstaple in 1846 to Emma (nee Scriggins) and James Davey, a tea dealer. In the 1861 census the family lived in Bear Street, Barnstaple. James died in 1864. It's possible Sarah 'adjusted' her age at her marriage if she was a few years older than her groom.

Hi! Judy, Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I don't have any information on William Brend's or Sarah Davey's birth or the wives of John Brend and William Davey. Like yourself, I am also guessing that this is the correct entry for William Brend. I came across this entry as well in the 1990s at the LDS. Due to health reasons (TIA) I was unable to continue going to the LDS and I was unable to research it any further. Regards, Bill

Don't know about FreeREG corrections but Ancestry's correction system works for me as much as Ancestry's main system works for me - i.e. 99.9% of the time. (Statistics not to be taken literally!) Ancestry will *never* replace the original (because it's often a matter of interpretation, I guess) but add a new, alternative index value, which can be searched on. FamilySearch have only very recently started to add correction facilities to their indexes of Historical Records - the only thing that can currently be corrected is the name item, whereas Ancestry can correct birth-places, etc. Not every index has even that facility for various technical and / or legal reasons. I think that I'm right in saying that FS corrections are also additional, alternative values. No doubt other items will follow. Adrian

Hi Maureen, I just fished this out of my spam folder, so forgive my delay in responding. There are two parishes called Woolfardisworthy, one is near Bideford, the other much farther south. The one near Bideford is called Woolfardisworthy West so I suspect the one under E for East Wookfardisworthy is not what I am looking for, but I will go check it out. Thanks for pointing this out. As a researcher I would have looked for both of them under Woolfardisworthy.

Sorry to disappoint you but there are no musters after 1888. Additionally the Artillery was broken down into batteries, brigades etc, and unless you know which battery you want the chances of success are low, even when musters were kept.  John Sly On Thursday, 31 October 2019, 20:45:30 GMT, Paul Hockie via DEVON <[email protected]> wrote: There is a chance that the regiment was preparing to move or even in transit and the registration was not top priority.

Thanks Nancy, Things have changed a lot with Family Search & now I go to the Church which is just around the corner from where I live & we search for a film & if it has been digitized then we can look through it. The 2 films that I want are obviously not digitized as there is no picture of a camera next to the film. We cannot order films anymore. Never mind I have done what I can do & will now have to leave this research for awhile. Thanks for the help from others I do appreciate what you have done for me. Liz Langford. -----Original Message--- From: Nancy Frey Sent: Thursday, October 31, 2019 9:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [DEV] Re: Surname MARTIN Hi Ann, It has been a while since I visited one of the LDS Family History Centres but to my recollection if there is a film that they don't have in their library it can be ordered in for you from Salt Lake City. There is probably a charge for the service now. My suggestion would be to go to the Family Search website and read some of their tutorials on how to look things up in their catalogue. Ensure those films are what you want and then contact your local FHC and ask about ordering in. Have you searched the FS site online for the records you are looking for. I believe you can search by film number. If they haven't been indexed you will have to see the microfilm. Hope this is helpful.

To: Sher Leetooze <[email protected]> Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Message-ID:     <[email protected]om> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Hi Sher, I  like your thoughts on this and agree wholeheartedly.  I wrote an article on GENUKI -- what it is, what it does and how to use it -- for publication in the newsletter of a group I belonged to. Unfortunately they ceased to publish before my article was used.  If anybody wants it I'd be happy to contribute. GENUKI was one of the first places I learned to search, other than the IGI, when I was a novice.  Unfortunately, not all counties are as well done and informative as Devon. As for the OGS -- I was a member when I lived in your bailiwick but because my genealogy was all in the UK my work was of no interests to my fellow members, nor were any of them able to assist me in my research.  Going back before the arrival of an ancestor in the new world, at least at that time, wasn't something they were inclined to do. Since the various Societies such as DFHS and S&DFHDS and many others have moved to Facebook, I feel we now have the audience to do some promotion, don't you?  But then there are the usual naysayers who feel that joining Facebook will be detrimental to their health.  To my mind, like any other place in the world, Facebook is a safe place to be if you use your head.  You need adequate security on your computer/cell phone, don't accept as friends people you don't know, keep your page private, and most important, don't post information that would allow someone to steal your identity or otherwise interfere with your life.  I've been on Facebook since 2009 and have never had a problem.  I cringe every time I see people posting photos of their children, and if you click on their info you can find out exactly where that child lives.  These are the people who have problems with Facebook. Its raining here in Windsor as well, Sher. Cheers, Nancy Frey, Windsor, ON, Canada OPC for Ansford & Castle Cary, Somerset [email protected]

Hi Joy, Re: > Nancy, I am surprised at your comment that experienced genealogists on > Facebook were withholding advice because they felt it was beneath them > to reply. They are probably failing to help people who need it the > most. What a pity. I didn't mean to imply that anyone felt it beneath them to reply -- I just noted that they didn't. And I am not a mind reader. Perhaps they, like me, are getting tired of responding to novices who post nebulous questions with insufficient information. I belong to a number of lists and groups. On one occasion I responded suggesting we might be able to help if we had more information and advice as to where the person had already searched. Imagine my surprise when, rather than responding with the requested information, I found this person had posted the original enquiry to another group the very next day?
