Hi all
I don't have access to ancestry at home but use my library's copy at the weekend but until then I hope someone can help me out.
I have been trying to find on the indeces 1841-1871
Nicodemus Bidwell bp 1800 at Thorverton, married Melly (Melley) 1823, married for a 2nd time June 1/4 1860 and finally died Mar 1/4 1877
He should be somewhere but where?
I've tried searching on just Nicodemus - nothing ??? with and without Thorverton or Devon
I've tried searching on Bedwell also - nothing ??? again with or without Thorverton or Devon
Sorry this is a big ask but if someone can find what name he is hiding under I can fill in the rest on Saturday when I go to the library.
Thanks in advance

Hi Nell and Mrs Doc
You're both stars ;D
and there I was thinking he would be so easy to find with a name like that!
I've gone back to Ancestry to see why I can't find hime now I know he's still in Thorverton
on the 1871 ancestry has him down as 'Meodemus'
I bet he's on the 1841 as Nicholas too!
Night all, sleep tight.
