Terry, Apologies I used the example of Photoshop to emphasis the that the quality of the images compared to the old LDS microfilms is much improved. I should have used the term "Image Enhancement" which is both built in to high quality cameras and the accompanying software (and imaging microfilm readers). Usually this software adjusts contrast and brightness and can remove "stains". Personally I use a cut down version of Photoshop after a visit to an archive.

They have not been processed in any way but are the result of using high quality cameras and equipment.

They have all been "photoshopped" to give a much higher quality than the microfilms. The contents vary over time and place. Burials are usually name and date but occasionally include age, Wid(ow) of, inf(ant) or son/daughter of (children under 12).

I usually only use the term when perhaps, as a result of knowing a validated death or burial record from a certificate or headstone, the age at death is also included and an approximate birth year can be determined. This of course assumes the details provided in the death certificate or on a headstone are correct, and we all know this can be an incorrect assumption! > > Will contact the Buckfastleigh OPC. > > Thank you once again. > > Len Heyward > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: DEVON [mailto:[email protected]] On > Behalf Of Paul Hockie > Sent: 9 February, 2017 7:51 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [DEV] Thomas NOSWORTHY of Harberton > > Len, > > I am always suspicious when I see "about" without knowing where the underlying information came from.

Thomas b 1748 Harberton is a strong contender but I would be concerned that lack of evidence from the researcher is leading me to accept Harberton. > I also found on FMP/Ancestry/Familysearch Thomas Nosworthy England > Births and Christenings, 1538-1975 > christening: 8 February 1742 BUCKFASTLEIGH, DEVON, ENGLAND > father: Phillip Nosworthy > mother: Mary > > Thomas Nosworthy > England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975 > christening: 24 August 1746 > BUCKFASTLEIGH, DEVON, ENGLAND > father: John Nosworthy > mother: Ibbett > > Buckfastleigh is 6.2 miles from Diptfold and so within reasonable walking distance for a young man in love. > > I would recommend contacting the OPC for both parishes to check possible subsequent marriages and/or deaths or entries in the parish accounts, unless you are passing this way soon. > > Cheers > > Paul > > > -----Original Message----- > From: DEVON [mailto:[email protected]] > On Behalf Of Len Heyward > Sent: 08 February 2017 06:00 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [DEV] Thomas NOSWORTHY of Harberton > > Paul; > > The info was provided by a 'professional' researcher in Devon engaged by a NOSWORTHY cousin of mine here in Australia.

There is a Sarah buried 1779 and Thomas b 1748 is the only child of a Thomas and Sarah. There is a John and Mary Norsworthy producing children in the 1760s. I suspect the Thomas buried 1748 may be the father, leaving Sarah a widow looking after Thomas the son. > > I noticed that Thomas was a husbandman when he married in 1768, so I am guessing the family were not wealthy. If they still exist the parish accounts/chest may show a paupers burial, financial support for the widow and perhaps Thomas jun. was found work in a neighbouring parish. > > Question , what is the source for " Thomas NOSWORTHY born about 1748 in Harberton" > > Cheers > > Paul > > -----Original Message----- > From: DEVON [mailto:[email protected]] > On Behalf Of Mike Rendle > Sent: 07 February 2017 16:59 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [DEV] Thomas NOSWORTHY of Harberton > > Hi Len > > FMP has the baptism of a Thomas NORSWORTHY at Harberton on 30 March 1748 whose parents are given as Thomas and Sarah.
