Peggy et al, Please note that you should always specify that events after Jun 1837, unless copied from a church register, may have been REGISTERED in the Kingsbridge DISTRICT. They may not have occured in the actual PARISH of Kingsbridge( or the township for that matter ). There were over 30 parishes in the Kingsbridge Registration District and an event could take place in any one. This same proviso applies to other events that may be found in PRO indexes - e.g. Totnes. Ray Osborn Rotorua, NZ Sent: Sunday, January 15, 2006 9:11 AM Subject: [SOUTHHAMS] DINNIS/DENNIS I have a John Dinnis born 1743 probably at Hallwell, died at Hallwell 1822. He married Elizabeth (unknown) of Stanborough. Their son, Edward, was born circa 1786. He married Sarah Baker in Blackawton 4 April 1809. Sarah died and was buried in Blackawton in 1829. Edward and his children appear in the 1841 census of Blackawton but Edward doesn't appear in the 1851 census. Ray Osborn has a death for Edward Dinnis in Kingsbridge in March of 1848 and feels he probably was buried in the parish of his birth rather than his death. Does anyone have any information about John, Elizabeth or Edward Dinnis/Dennis? Thanks Peggy Henderson pjh44@comcast.net
