That makes me smile! Yes.. I certainly won’t be using Tree Vault.. I haven’t really taken notice.. is it running in the background? I’m worried now that somehow data is being shared. I did find just recently that someone had information I had definitely not made public. I complained to Ancestry who said I must have shared it via a link. Maybe. I have given ’trusted’ people a link to my tree. It’s rather a downer.. I like sharing information with people researching in the same area. But I really don’t want to make my whole tree public.. some of it is almost pure conjecture. > On 25 Oct 2019, at 17:55, blackmore terry <[email protected]> wrote: > > I still use what I'm used to which is FTM 2005.

I have FTM 2019 and I don't ever use Ancestory, nor have I installed the Tree Vault as it a free way of obtaining people's research for free if the subscription isn't taken up after the first free year. I've never used Ancestory even when it's a free weekend. There is nothing like reading original documents (or photocopies) to obtain information. Despite having FTM 2014, 2017, and 2019 available I still use what I'm used to which is FTM 2005. > On 25 October 2019 at 16:01 Ruth Appleby <[email protected] mailto:[email protected] > wrote: > > > I really don't see the point of having a genealogy program that you can't control.

I really don't see the point of having a genealogy program that you can't control. With FTM (it seems to me) you have to link it to Ancestry and now, it also appears, you will have to pay for back ups. I'll stick with TMG and Roots Magic so I backup to my PC (or in my case my personal cloud) and won’t have to rely on paying a subscription to keep my tree "alive".

Thanks Jane, Very interesting. Our Cornish families moved to Devon for the mining boom around 1800 as did many others. Marg.

Thanks Jane, for sharing this CORNISH NAMES link. I noted some names (Pullin / Pullen are in my maternal line and I see Cornish spellings that are likely,)... ** but it is the WIDLAKE name of interest in this query. I am always looking for more confirmation that my paternal line great grandfather's WIDLAKEs were originally from Cornwall. My great grandfather was Charles WIDLAKE SKEMP (sometimes S'kemp or Scamp) when he immigrated with his parents from Devon (lived in Barnstaple) about 1870. So far, I am only finding Devon locations for Skemps and for the WIDLAKE family. More background follows.... The SKEMPs were (many were) stonemasons. Charles Widlake Skemp after settling in Dubuque, Iowa married Laura Catherine CAIN and he was in the building trade. He and his son, Frank, and family were brickmasons who built many of the historical buildings in Dubuque, Iowa. (in library, bios on the family). My father's mother was Ivy Laura SKEMP, a daughter of Laura CAIN and Charles WIDLAKE SKEMP. Ivy Laura married Heinrich Joseph WILMS (Joseph Henry WILLIAMS) b 1883 Blankenheim, Germany who immigrated with his WILMS parents May 1, 1883 from Hamburg via Le Havre to NYork on the SS Gellert and went to Glen Haven, Grant County Wisconsin, but in 1898 crossed the Mississippi River into Iowa. Those WILMS are my gr grandparents and their son Joseph Henry Williams is my paternal grandfather who married Ivy Laura SKEMP, my gr grandmother. My father was their son Arthur Joseph WILLIAMS b 1914 Dubuque. ***WIDLAKE ...I have 3 in my tree with the name, Charles WIDLAKE SKEMP. My great grandfather Charles got his WIDLAKE middle name from his grandmother, Susan WIDLAKE born 1791 His parents were John Harold SKEMP b 1814 Barum Braunton, North Devon and wife Harriet BENNETT b abt 1814 Barnstaple first went (are found) 1870 in Cook County Illinois (think Chicago) but then went into Dubuque, Iowa. John Harold SKEMP's mother was ***Susan WIDLAKE who married William Pascal SKEMP. I'm showing that Susan WIDLAKE was born 1791-1797 in Barnstaple and died there 1837. Her parents are shown as Grace MUMFORD and Thomas WIDLAKE b 1760 Heanton Puncharden, Barnstaple, Devon and died 1836 Braunton, Devon England. I am showing Thomas' parents as Mary RUMSON and Pasker / Paschal WIDLAKE b 1732 Charles, Devon England, died in Heanton Puncharden, Barnstaple, Devon. **To continue...Pasker / Paschal WIDLAKE was born to Mary COURTNAY and Edward WIDLAKE (WEDLAKE) b 1707, North Molton, Devon England. Just found marriage 1829 that Edward was married in Highbray, Devon where both were living. Just found burial record...he was baptized Sept 7, 1707 in Charles and was buried as a widower on March 20, 1792. HighBray, Devon, England. Edward may be the same man, shown as a **son of John (new info to me) served as an apprentice, per Ancestry's archives, as follows: Sept 5, 1743 Payment Date Master Richd HODGE, of South Molton, barber ? Apprentice Edwd WEDLAKE, son of John Residence: South Molton ** this above Apprentice info showing Edward as a son of John (WIDLAKE / WEDLAKE) is new info I would like to confirm. Who is John, born maybe circa 1685 as a father to Edward in 1707, and who did this John marry? Was John WIDLAKE also born in Devon or was he the ancestor (per family memoires in USA by Paschal Widlake Skemp) from Cornwall? Family lore also says we are connected to the RIDD family of the Lorna Doone stories. Sure would be nice to find some proof. Thanks for any help available as to origins of my WIDLAKEs...

A huge thank to all who replied to my Cornelius ROOKS query - you have all given me much to consider and follow up on. Many thanks for your time and generosity.. it is truly appreciated. Cheers Jenny Gambirazzi

I came across this record in FMP: Royal Military Asylum Apprentice Ledgers 1803-1840 / Royal Military Asylum (Chelsea) Admissions 1803-1901 First name(s) Cornelius Last name Rooks Supplied full name ROOKS Cornelius Birth year 1802 Age 9Y 4M Address Co. Wicklow, Ireland Father's first name(s) George Mother's first name(s) Elizabeth Year 1811 Admission date 26/9/1811 Rank Private Regiment Oxfordshire Light Infantry - 43rd & 52nd Light Infantry Trade Shoemaker Apprenticed to HALEY Thomas Master's occupation Shoemaker Apprenticeship end date 13/4/1823 Discharge date 13/4/1816 Place Chelsea County London Country England Source Royal Military Asylum Apprentice Ledgers 1803-1840 / Royal Military Asylum (Chelsea) Admissions 1803-1901 Record set British Army Schoolchildren And Schoolmasters 1803-1932 Category Education & work Subcategory Schools & Education Collections from England, Great Britain Following on from John in Oz, it would seem to me that Cornelius was an army child born in Ireland, his father was George, a soldier in the Oxfordshire Light Infantry. The record seems to sat say Cornelius father died in 1811,at which point Cornelius was admitted to the Royal Military Asylum. He stayed in the Asylum until 1816 when he was apprenticed to Thomas Hayley, a shoemaker in London. His standard 7 year apprenteship ended in 1923. Cornelius may have been baptised in the Regimental Church and may not appear in Irish records. My guide to Regiments tells me the 43rd and 52nd were part of the same brigade in the Peninsula War which is probably where George died. The two regiments probably had a flexible arrangement to cover for casualties. Cornelius Rooks b 1778 may have been an Uncle/Dating Agency. I couldn't see a service record on FMP or Ancestry. Next step would be to work your way through the Musters and Payrolls for George's military movements and also Cornelius in the Chelsea records. Unfortunately this would require a trip to the National Archives at Kew.

Hi Jenny, There is a Cornelius Ruck in London in 1841, shown aged 40 (rounded) and not born in county, so I'm wondering if this could be he? He has with him a Cornelius Ruck aged 20, so probably his son - would that stack up with your Cornelius? However, there is also an Elizabeth Ruck, aged 45, who is likely to be his wife, so perhaps that makes it less likely to be right. The place is Surrey - St George the Martyr - London Road - District 4 and the reference is HO 107/1086/2 f.34 p.20 (Ancestry image 11 of 13). If Cornelius had to tell his details to either the Enumerator or the owner of the place where he was lodging, it would not be surprising to find that Rooks got heard as Ruck.

An interesting archive of photos by James Ravilious and Roger Deakins showing Devon's landscape, communities and agricultural practice over 20 years starting in the early 1970s. There are also some oral histories. https://beaford.org/archive Joy

I did say in the original mail, Meg, "At the moment there isn't much else on the civilwarpetitions website relating to Devon but it may be worth revisiting occasionally as the project progresses". The "About the project" info on the website says keep checking their Facebook and Twitter accounts for news about what had been posted. The project ends in 2021 and they intend to publish a five volume book series of transcriptions then.

Is this an ongoing project that will have more information added over time?
