Hi Anne Thanks for your contribution. The Elizabeth COLES that I mentioned was born Elizabeth HURLY and married William COLES of Churchstanton. I hadn't been able to find William's baptism at Churchstanton and now believe that he was the son of Samuel COLES of Culmstock who was baptised in Churchstanton in 1699. I am still trying to check all the options. I will let you know if I come across your Elizabeth COLES of Tiverton.

I have been watching this one go by. I have a Mary Coles who married Edward Coles in Halberton in 1770. Both the Register and the banns describe her a sojourner. I have not yet found where she was sojourning from although there are a number of possibilities in Devon. Halberton is also near one of the main routes from Plymouth/Exeter to almost anywhere. The only other (adult) Cole event around this time is the marriage of Joseph Coles to Mary Drew in 1768. Joseph Coles is described as a sojourner in the banns but a Cooper of Bishops Nympton in the register. Bishops Nympton registers show a Joseph born 1747, son of John and Margaret. They have children between 1737 and 1749 but no Mary. The nearest Mary daughter of a John born 1741 in West Worlington. This date fits in a gap between 1739 and 1742 in the Bishops Nympton family. West Worlington is about 8 miles from Bishops Nympton and I have not found any siblings for Mary. Washfield is close to West Worlington. Any Thoughts Cheers Paul -----Original Message----- From: DEVON [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Colin Rosewell Sent: 01 September 2017 11:02 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [DEV] William COLES (c. 1744-1829) of Washfield, Devon Hi Anne Thanks for your contribution.
