Title: HELE family
Post by: keen17 on Sunday 02 December 07 18:33 GMT (UK)

I am trying to trace the parents of John Hele b. 1802 in Plymouth (i think). I have traced him to a marriage in Alphington in 1827 where he lived as Postmaster for the rest of his life. Can anyone help please?
Thanks ;D

Hi keen17,
Are we talking about the same John Hele who married  SUSANNA MOORE:
28 AUG 1827  in Alphington, Devon, Census's show him coming from Devonport in Plymouth,a Tailor-Postman then a Postmaster.
Susanna Name:  Susan Hele
Birth:  abt 1799      Death:  Mar 1870 - St Thomas, Devon.

He went on to Marry  Elizabeth Payne 1870 Oct-Nov-Dec    St Thomas  Devon. 
Volume 5 Page 71.
If you ordered this Marriage Certificate you would get his Fathers name and Profession,this would give you a solid base to work from, even there witnesses could shed further light on his family.
If You want the Parish Record you would need to contact :
