Hi Pete, I was trying to acess a parish in plymouth it is called st. andrews civil parish. but not having any joy, do you have to pay because thats the omly thing i have'nt done yet.
I was looking up a birth which wasin 1830 of one of my ancesters.

By pure chance I have a copy of the Devon FHS records that may help you!!!


What names do you have?

Pete

The Devon FHS CD of baptisms(1813-1839), marriages (1754-1837) and burials (1813-1837) for the parishes in and around Plymouth are on the CD "The Deanery of the Three Towns.

It covers:

East Stonehouse - St George
Pennycross - St Pancras
Plymouth - Charles the Martyr
Plymouth - St Andrew
St Budeaux
Stoke Damerel

Linda,

check your maths. The years of birth that you have given for John and Elizabeth look wrong.

In the 1851 census John is 69 = born c 1781
Elizabeth is 63 so born c 1788

and in the 1841, John is 58 = born c1783
Elizabeth is 51 so c 1790

Hi Pete this is really great of you to do this for me thank you so much for this help it is much apriciated

Sorry maths was really never a good subject for me when i was at school!! i appoligise, If their birth dates differ on cencus which ones are to be used then, do you know, and yes i will look on that site for the cd. Linda

As well as the Devon FHS CDs being useful, many parishes in Devon now have online parish clerks (OPCs).

Just seen your PM - so, for you and others interested in the OPC scheme -

It's always worth subscribing (free) to the rootsweb mailing list for Devon.
