thank you so very much for all your help , i have another question iam planning to go to devon in feb because i want to get this part of my tree done for my mums 70th birthday so my question is do i look in newton abbot or in buckfastleigh where my great grandfather was brought up or can anybody recomend any where else to look i dont mind paying thanks again nigella x

tracy how do i do that scan direct out of pm

well... it's hard to know where to start.

The family i have thrown up, if the father was a Verger, there may be a scandal printed somewhere?

His daughter being an unmarried mother would not have done his reputation any good.

You could always start at the Library and search for the address in the ER's. Altho only males were listed, it might throw up some clues... or even the family history mgiht be there.

You've not really got much to go on, however the Library would be your best bet. Someone local might know what the address is on the birth cert.

tracy need you get the message

Hi There i did :-)

I've had a look and i'm not convinced it says Summerfield tho?

I cannot also find anything else other than what we have already established.

If i were you when you visit Devon goto the local Library to Newton Abbot, they will be able shed some more light on it.

Have you considered calling the registry office? They might be able to relook at the original entry for you and tell you what they believe it to say (again local knowledge helps) The registry office will have the original entry, the GRO have a copy of the original books.
