Please can anybody help me with this problem. My ggg grandfather Robert Paramore was born c1811, on the 1851 and 1861 he says was born South Molton, Devon. He is not on the IGI, Suzanne kindly looked up the parish records but he wasn't there either, my parents today have gone to the records office in Devon (whilst there on holiday!) but have found nothing, I'm a little unsure of where I can go to next, is there any kind soul out there who could suggest anything. Many thanks Michelle:(

Have you found him on 1841 census? 1841 there is this family in South Molton Joshua Paramore abt 1783 Devon, England Catherine Paramore abt 1783 Devon, England Mary Paramore abt 1816 Devon, England Could be related? Maureen

1841 Robert Paramdue abt 1811 Somerset, England George Paramdue abt 1839 Somerset, England Ann Paramdue abt 1816 Somerset, England William Llish abt 1838 Somerset, England Guessing this is him in 1841 Has wife Ann and son William in 1851 in Somerset Maureen Not sure now I have viewed the image - William belongs to the family above Maureen

Hi Michelle - Is Robert's mother alive (and can you find her) for the 1851 census? If so, you might see where she was born and look in that parish for his baptism. From what I understand, it was not uncommon for women to 'go home to mother' for the birth of their first baby, and then go back to rejoin their husbands. If Robert grew up in South Molton, he may have just assumed that he was born there. Good luck - Tim

Hi Sorry but I had to have a giggle about the subject line, at first I thought it said 'Paramour'!! LOL!! Is this his marriage: 1835 in Wilton Somerset, to Ann Sharp? Rgds Maggie

Could be this family in 1841 Richard Parremore abt 1811 Somerset, England Willim Parremore abt 1836 Somerset, England Ann Parremore abt 1802 Somerset, England Got to leave it as computer is playing up Good luck with the search Maureen

It looks like he could have been from Somerset, he was there in 1841 & he married there in 1835... ROBERT PARAMORE Male Family Event(s): Birth: Christening: Death: Burial: Marriages: Spouse: ANN SHARP Marriage: 07 JUN 1835 Saint George, Wilton, Somerset, England Georgina.

Hi again – I found these names in South Molton for 1851 – they’re old enough to be Robert’s parents: Catherine Paramore abt 1783 Winkleigh, Devon, England Wife South Molton Devon Joshua Paramore abt 1784 South Molton, Devon, England Head South Molton Devon Margaret Paramore abt 1781 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Pauper South Molton Devon Catherine and Joshua are husband and wife (same couple Maureen found in 1841), while Margaret is in the Union Workhouse. Are any of these names familiar (e.g., given to Robert’s children or grandchildren)? If so, you might try looking in Winkleigh or Birmingham for baptismal records (hopefully Winkleigh, as there is presumably only one parish there). Tim

Was there any occupations that were common amongst other family members.........I found this record on genuki Name Listing from the South Molton Section of an 1822-23 edition of Pigot's Directory Paramore, Wm: Bookseller, Stationer & Printer Market Place Paramore, Wm: Linen & Woolen Draper Market Place Deb
