Title: Lookup - WILLIAMS in Devon
Post by: TasG on Sunday 05 July 09 10:01 BST (UK)
G'day Everyone,

This is a just-making-sure:

James Williams was born May 02 1840, Stowford, Tavistock, Lifton, Devon (I hope that makes sense!)

His father is recorded as being Matthew Willliams, mother Susanna Pengally/Peagdley. Marriage of these two was August 20 1839, Cornwall.

Any record of siblings for James?

Wendy 47 and Amber 39,

Thanks.  That fits in quite well with what I had.  Thanks for that information.  It is brilliant.

My forefather was a tailer at age 11 ... at least it was a livin'!

Cheers

Hi,
I know it is a few years since you were searching for Matthew Williams & his wife Susannah Pengelly (Daniels) but they are my gg grandparents & I have an amount of research on their family.
