Hello Listers; Apart from the many other Devon families I have in my data, I also descend out of HAMLYN. I am trying to find out more information on William HAMLYN who was born in Widecombe in the Moor about 1833. It is possible his parents may have been Thomas HAMLYN and Elizabeth COLEMAN. In 1856 he married Ann Jane McVITY (numerous spellings) in South Australia. I have a list of their children. Currently I can't link this HAMLYN line in with the 'main' HAMLYN line in my data. Looking for any information on Thomas and/or his parents. I would be grateful to receive any data from any other 'searcher' interested in HAMLYN. Regards Len Heyward

Len - Not a family of interest to me but I searched around and found no record of such a William's baptism, not in FMP's Devon Baptisms, but Ancestry has William Hamlyn in the 1841 England Census Age: 9 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1832 Where born: Devon, England Civil Parish: Widecombe in The Moor Piece: 229 Book: 15 Folio: 6 Page Number: 6 Household Members: Name Age Fancras Hamlyn 45 Blacksmith Elizabeth Hamlyn 40 John Hamlyn 15 Sarah Hamlyn 15 Aaron Hamlyn 11 William Hamlyn 9 Sibylla Hamlyn 5 Avis Hamlyn 5 Mary Hamlyn 2 Image reads as Pancras. Have you perhaps found him mistranscribed as Thomas elsewhere? See http://blacksmiths.mygenwebs.com/devonhm-1.php#H That William is still living with his parents in 1851, when all of the family are recorded as born in Widecombe. I don't find any of those siblings baptised at Widecombe but FMP does have Pancras baptised there in 1795, but no Elizabeth Coleman born there. It seems rather unlikely that Pancras and family lived elsewhere before he returned to Widecombe very soon before 1841. Perhaps he became nonconformist so not in the CofE parish register? Or is this perhaps enough for you to eliminate this William?

Hi List I am having all sorts of trouble getting this computer to talk to Rootsweb, so am trying to piggy back off Martins e-mail to Len. This is what I sent Len about 10 minutes ago. I do hope it gets through. Bev I had previously sent Len this e-mail > Speaking of HAMLYN, I notice that a John HAMLYN, aged 54, Single, > Mechanic, immigrated to Queensland, Australia on the "Royal Dane" having > left London > 16 Aug 1871, arriving in Brisbane 4 Dec 1871. The 10 minutes ago this reply to Len Len I took a wild guess and came up with this which is a possible match [not sure if they are yours or not, but just in case.] John HAMLYN died 27 Mar 1895 Toowoomba buried 28 Mar 1895 aged 77 - at Toowoomba & Drayton Cemetery s/o Wife Sarah died 2 Nov 1904 aged 76 Toowoomba buried 3 Nov at Toowoomba & Drayton Cemetery They could have died near Toowoomba, because at that time there were not too many cemeteries around and lots of people who lived nearby gor buried in Toowoomba & Drayton, which is the oldest Cemetery here You will note that John's age matches almost with the immigration one I sent. Maybe the " Single" bit was a mistake. See other deaths here https://www.familyhistory.bdm.qld.gov.au/ and https://www.familyhistory.bdm.qld.gov.au/ The John Drewe HAMLYN who died 18 Nov 1890 died at Mayborough, after a long and painful illness, was the eldest son of John HAMLYN, of Harley Vale, Geham. Geham is about 20 klms from Toowoomba, so it maybe that the John who died 1795 is that John and that he would have died geham [perhaps] then buried in Toowoomba.

Thanks folks. I think I now have the message arriving via different routes. Will be replying to Bev later today. Thank you all. Len Heyward -----Original Message----- From: B.

Have you tried finding them at Pancrasweek Parish?  My Hamblyn/Hamlyn/Hamlin/Hambley/Hamley (all five kids had their surnames spelled differently at their baptism)  My Hamlyn family comes from there.
