I’ve asked for help so often with this man, I feel embarrassed asking again. But here goes! I have my 3 x great grandmother’s(Agness Horswill) marriage and the baptisms of her children and her husband’s burial. All are before 1837, so no certs available. All have been checked by Parish Records. I’ve got Agness’ tree back more than three generations. But I can’t find anything on her husband’s birth. I’ve emailed everyone with that surname(Huband) on the boards, and nobody has him. I’ve checked with people doing Agness’ family and nobody knows him. Their research all stops with Agness’ birth. I’ve googled. I’ve put ads on Curious Fox, Rootsweb, Ancestry, etc. I’ve been in touch with Devon Family History, as he was married in Devon. Huband is not a Devon name, but more from Warwickshire and Worcestershire. I’ve tried those family history groups as well. Does anyone have any ideas of where to go, when I have his marriage, children and death, but no idea when or where he was born??

Poor kid, Im much the same - 3 years now chasing one couple. I guess you have checked all the Husbands at it would so easily be written down as that.

Hi Elizabeth Sorry i can't answer this one,just bookmarking for my own reference,similiar problems for me with a couple of direct lines. Glen

Yes Heather, I've checked Husband, Hubbard etc. I really think it is Huband as it wasn't common in Devon and it is in all the Parish Records, baptisms, burials, etc.

This is probably no help, but have you tried Hogben?? Barbara..xx

Hi Elizabeth...I'm a member of DFHS..looked to see detailed dates etc but the message must have gone. if you want you could give me Agnes' birth date and parish and husbands name. I'll have a nosey around..not doing much else this af...to hot regards Cynthia

Snowdrops, I'm in Australia so relied on others to look at records. But Agness came from Ugborough and many generations prior. William, her husband apparently was not from the parish. Cynthia, thank you. Agness Horswill born 1796 Ugborough, Devon married William Huband 14April 1818 Plymouth St Andrew. Children: Sarah 1819; William 1822'William 1824; John 1831; John James 1833. William (senior) death 1833. All children born East Stonhouse.

Have you tried EWBAND? OC

This is an old thread, dating back to 2006.


It is very probable that Elizabeth is no longer keeping an eye on it, and GR does not send messages re new postings on threads.

May I suggest that it would be better if you sent her a pm (Personal Message)

Just click on her name, type your message in the box that appears, then click Submit


GR will then send an email to her home address to say there is a message waiting in the on-site system.


Then all you have to do is hope that she has the same email address that GR has on file ............... and that she is still active.
