Amanda Report 24 Mar 2018 01:08

I am currently trying to locate any information on my 8x great grandfather John Pomeroy. He was born around 1665 and married Rebecka Cleave and lived in Devonshire, UK. I believe that he had 6 children. I am looking for details on his parents or any siblings or children.

I am also interested in any other Pomeroy family members from this time.

I think many of these children died ................ the first 2 Williams at least!

A Public Family Tree on ancestry has Rebecka dying in 1829, I haven't found that record!!

Look at FreeReg


I also found several John Pom*r*y born in Holsworthy in the 1650s/60s on ancestry or FMP

Needs very careful work that far back.
