Joyce. Will email you in morning. Sally.

Hi there, I am looking for anyone with the name of SOUTHWELL in Devon. My great uncle and his family are on the 1881 census, but nothing after that. George J. Southwell, age 25, he was a sailor in the Royal Navy. Lucy Southwell (nee Blight) age 23 born in Gt Torrington, Devon. William H. Southwell, age 1 born Gt Torrington They were living at 45 Cambridge Street, Plymouth, Devon in 1881.

Gloria. There are 86 Southwell member's but, not George, Lucy or William the age you gave me were they at 1881???

Joyce. sorry I have not emailed you but, there are 6 mcdowell's mainly around Exeter. Eliza 1821 Elizabeth 1845 J.B. 1825 James 1785 James B 1848 Robert 1834 any of these ring any bells???

Hi Sally and all I'm looking for: JENKIN (originally from St Columb, Cornwall) WHEELER EVELY ANGEL Cheers Kelvin JENKIN

re HOUCHEN I spent a happy (1972?) Summer Uni-Vacation trawling the (original - what a privilege - my father was Rector!) Parish Registers of Fincham on behalf of a family in NZ. There were lots there. I could try to find the NZ info, in case they've got anything of relevance, if you like. Christine

My husband's family comes from Devon/Cornwall and I'm doing an ancestral chart - that means lots of Devon/Cornwall names. CHAPMAN (Black Torrington/Sheepwash) - got 1871/81/91/1901 but nothing earlier HALL HORN There should be some BEALEs here somewhere, but they haven't surfaced yet - unless I've made a wrong connection somewhere. RUSE (nr Saltash & Devonport) - got 1841 & 1871 onward, not '51 & '61 WADLIN(G) - have found the excellent Wadlin(.)com website - HICKS - RICKARD - BUNNY - GIMBLETT - OLVER - ALLING - KENSPEARE - JAGO (pretty much all in East Cornwall) GOULD (Devonport/Stoke Damerel/Morice Town/Compton Gifford) got 1881 & later, nothing earlier PRYNN (Devonport) got 1871 & later, nothing earlier COKE (Devonport) got 1871 for Prudence (Saml Prynn's wife) and 1881 for Prudence (Saml Prynn's M-i-L). COCKS (Plymouth/Devonport) but as they're mariners / RN, I can't be sure where their base is supposed to be! - could be Portsmouth/Gosport/Alverstoke - or Liverpool! - or... If anyone is researching any of these, I can (obviously) be more specific about first names. I just thought a whole essay here would be too much! Christine

MELHUISH MOYSE RODD LOCK MALET/MALLET/MALLETT I have a lot of info on the latter but would like to connect together anyone from these lines, to help others and fill gaps. Also particularly interested in Rodds from the North Devon (Barnstaple) area. Thanks Richard

Hi Sally, thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Going from the years i think that the 1839 maybe the one i'm after, do you have any other info on him? sorry to be a pain! As for Eileen Thorne i thought she'd be the tricky one but thanks for trying anyway. I'm new to this could you tell me where you get these census cd's from please? regards, Lesley

Richard, Just to let you know that I have a Frederick Lock born Barnstaple in my tree.He and his father were butchers. There is also a large firm of electrical good suppliers in Ilfracombe and maybe Barnstaple called Rodds at the moment. I also know that there are still Moyse and Mallet families in Barnstaple too.

Hello Is there something odd about this thread? On the list it says the latest post is today, 4 Sept, but the last entry I can see says: Added by Debbi Says Goodbye on 29/08/2004 10:45:17 Is there a black hole? The other thing that puzzled me is when the number of posts shrinks. Does the system chop off the earlier ones or something? The same has happened to the Leicester one. Or are people just pruning out the "nudges"? Christine

Christine, It's me nudging. No Black hole. trying to save space Sally.
