Morning, My mission this year is to look for all those odds and ends and try to see what I can find that might just link some families. Trouble is I have tons of them. Having given up on William PEARSE and Grace for the time being I have turned my attention back to Stokenham. Thomas WIDGER married Margaret EDMONDS 8 Dec 1617 I have not been able to find a baptism in Stokenham for this Thomas, however there is one on Famsearch at Wolborough & Newton 14 Jul 1594 s/o William who would fit. There is also a Thomas WEEGER who married Margaret SHEY at Paignton 30 Dec 1589 which is closer and could have had a son Thomas. The majority it seems come from Ilsington though. Oddly enough I discovered some WIDGER'S in the early records which match names from Ilsington on famsearch. They being the ones below. Stokenham Jno: s/o Peter WIGER married Grace LYST?? in 1577 John STONE married Grace WIDGER 3 Jul 1581 Thomas PYNWILL married Margery [crossed out] Tomsine WIDGER 30 Oct 1581, her name a little hard to get the correct spelling, but it is meant to be Tomsine. John had a son Arthur in 1578 but this baby died. Has anyone done an depth study of the name WIDGER? Please be in touch. Bev

Hello Bev, nothing about WIDGER, and you and I strive to find our EDMONDS connections, but I do wonder if it is possible to piece together any of our families back that far - 1600s. Especially if they were "ordinary folk" without workhouse, parish relief, offences or even connections with those of the "middling people". I'm no expert, but it seems that so often not all people were recorded - a bit of a hit and miss situation. Can anyone provide more positive advice? Regardless, we don't give up easily do we and like you, I will keep on trawling through any records that come to hand. cheers, Diane - Western Australia On Fri, Jan 24, 2014 at 7:50 AM, B.

Hi Bev I have John RADFORD, of this Parish, marrying Rose EDMUNDS/EDMONDS, o.t.p. at Colaton Raleigh, 2/2/1769: John made his mark & Rose signed her own name. Witnesses: John Pike & Martha ???ffcott (not Radford or Edmonds) Their 9 children were all baptised at Colaton Raleigh. John Radford & Rose nee Edmonds are both buried at Colaton Raleigh: John on March 19 1820, aged 73 years & Rose on May 2 1824, aged 80 years. Rose's baptism does not appear in the Colaton Raleigh records, so she may have come from somewhere else, in spite of what her marriage record says. They are my gt x 6 grandparents. Do you think she fits into your family anywhere? Regards Judy South Australia -----Original Message----- --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
