(does info. on above relate?)

Chris :)

Many thanks for all the really useful replies. I am a little bit confused now :(
I thought Francis Bovey married Eliza Harrison (born 1857 in Bristol)
It doesn't help that he named one of his sons Francis.
I think that Francis Henry Bovey whos fathers name is John Bovey fits with what I have.
Think I need to digest this info and try to find out who was married to who!
Once again many thanks. I am going to try to find out his birth info so I can order the birth certificate and hop[e that it shows John Bovey as his father.
Really appreciate all the help.

Good grief! I just read the previous thread where Lesley says she has her grandfather's birth certificate. Evidently he was Samuel Bovey born 28 April 1887, father Francis Bovey (waterside labourer) and Eliza Bovey formerly Harrison.

So is everything that we've posted here a different family?

I think it is all the same family - he was a waterside labourer in 1891!

Emma's marriage gives her father as General Dealer:

AND, you will remember that the 1911 I posted above shows grandson Ernest Payne (even though he was not transcribed) which woiuld fit with Sarah's marriage (already posted above) and her father was also a general Dealer.

Margee, I think it's all the right family not necessarily in the right order ;-)

OK, understood, I didn't read that previous thread all the way through.

Neither did I :-) I went off and asked GR ( on FB) if the advanced search would ever be fixed in order to check whether there were old threads before going over the same ground. :-)

The information below that was put on by Rose is correct as far as I know and the Samuel Bovey Son Male 13 1888 would be my granddad.

I am now going to try to locate Francesese Bovey's birth cert to see if his father was John Bovey.

Again many thanks Lesley

Lesley just in case you missed it, Margee has already posted the baptism details which give his birth date and matches the birth reg...there's only the one birth for F H Bovey at that period and place so probably not worth you paying out for the birth cert for the same detail?

Thanks Chris I didn't know how to look up old messages.

Francis Henry Bovey year of birth is 1843 and in other searches it comes up at 1851. Would this be the same person?
Thanks Lesley

Lesley there is no birth showing for 1851, it's not unusual to find people have knocked a few years off their age especially if they marry someone younger.

Many thanks for all the advice. I am going to try to move on to Francis Henry Bovey's dad who I believe is John Bovey, eventually taking me back to the Bovey roots in Devon.
Thanks
Lesley
