There is a Thomas ACLAND of Hemyock, age 99, buried 17 May 1827 at Dunkeswell. He is the right age to be my GGGG-Grandfather who was probably born at Hemyock ca 1728. Most researchers assume that Thomas was buried at Sheldon in 1784, with his wife Elizabeth buried there the next year. But there are no ages against the entries so it has always been a guess. Now I think Elizabeth might have been buried at Dunkeswell in 1791 and then Thomas married Mary SMYTH in 1793. She was buried there in 1823 age 93. I checked for baptisms after the marriage and found none. Does anyone know about this Thomas? Best wishes from Diana
There was a Thomas Acland buried at Sheldon on 12-12-1874. Elizabeth Acland was buried there also, on the 11-4-1875, source is listed as DFHS. I can if you wish me to check this out further on the Microfiche, I can do, as I have it available. I have not got this far into transcribing the microfiche, as of yet have made no notes against these burials. There are a number of other Aclands buried at Sheldon. Regards Terry Blackmore O.P.C.
