Title: PARSELEY or PARSLEY, north Devon, 1700
Post by: john_w on Tuesday 27 November 07 20:53 GMT (UK)

I have come to a dead end with William Parseley (born about 1699)  of Chittlehampton who married Joan Areleigh (born about 1700) also of Chittlehampton in 1720. Possibly 7 or 8 May.

Any help or ideas of where to look next would be very welcome.

I have a list of all the Parsleys taken from the indexes in the Barnstaple record office.

In Chittlehampton William and Joan are the earliest records but I have a William christened on 16th April 1691 in Swimbridge which is only 3 miles from Chittlehampton. His father is shown as William. I have several Williams back from there but it's hard to tie them up

An excess  of Williams is the same problem I have, but thanks for the reply.
