Title: Looking for Jane HALL - born "Plymouth Dockyard"
Post by: rodelremsi on Thursday 28 October 04 11:16 BST (UK)

Jane Hall married David Wiseman in 1832 at Horsham St Faith, Norfolk.  Her place of birth is given as "Plymouth Dockyard" (probably about 1804).  I've found no Jane Hall in Stoke Damerel parish for this period.
Any help appreciated.

Hi,
I have been trying to find the Christening of William Chapman late 1790s, in the same area.
I have had professional searchers look as well.
There seems to be lost records , I think from the second world war.
Yet no one can say from which Churches or Chaples.
You could also try Torpoint Cornwall, A lot of ship builders
lived there and travelled across the river, to Devonport.
Good Luck.

Thanks for that, Kenjo, I'll follow it up.  I did find a "possible" hit but father was a soldier, married outside the area and that was that!

Me Again,
Why can't the father be a soldier?
They were everywhere in Plymouth. I see the IGI, have only got Stoke mentioned. It just proves again there are missing records, also you must remember they haven't been allowed to film all the records yet.
Also Stoke Damerial, is Devonport, not Plymouth.
East Stonehouse, is part of Plymouth.
I can't remember, off hand other districts.
IF Dad was a soldier, you could try,Births, Deaths and Marriages, they now have searchable indexes for the Army back from 1760s, for Births in england and overseas.
I found my GGGrandfather Francis John Brooks, a Marine
lived most of his life in Plymouth, born in Quebec, and thanks to the Army indexes found his birth, in 1837.
So you never know.
Good luck again. ;)

Devonport had a lot of non-conformist chapels as well. Have you tried looking in th IGI section of 'FamilySearch'?

St Georges at East Stonehouse was where all the records were lost in the war. I was looking in the same area but fortuantely my lot got married at the Register Office in E. Stonehouse so it was ok.

Plymouth Dock not dockyard was the original name for Devonport
