Title: Eggbuckland Parish Records
Post by: Dizzygirl on Thursday 18 August 11 11:48 BST (UK)
Hi

I was wondering if anyone had access to these as they aren't on IGI and I can't get to the Devon Records Office.

I am trying to trace back from Honor Williams born approximately 1815 and married William Counter in approxiamtely 1820.  According to an index of headstones in Eggbuckland Church she died in 1829.  In the same grave were her son, Richard, and Anna Williams (who I'm assuming to be her sister).  Anna's parents are given as Henry and Jane Williams.

I'm interested in any further information on Henry and Jane - other children, their marriage.

Thank you

Jo

Hi  :)

This might be her. She could have moved to Eggbuckland later in life.

Added - this doesn't match Anna's parents but see next message

Hi again

I've just noticed the other dates  - she was born 1815, married in 1820 (aged 5) and died 1829 (aged 14) and had a son  :-\

The dates don't seem quite right.

Hi

Sorry, the birth date should be around 1805.
