Hi again BC,
we corresponded on this site some time ago no re: the Notts. Since then I have, with help from some "new cousins" managed to get back as far as circa 1500. Mostly in the Nymet, St George, area but also George Nympton, Chittlehampton and Chulmleigh areas. Please get in touch if you think I could help.

I too have Nott forebears in Chittlehampton - I can go back to Elias Nott born there in 1688, and would be very interested to hear from anyone who would be happy to share any information about Elias and his forebears.

There are photographs of members of the Nott family on the Dolton website at: www.dolton.org.uk 'People past and present'.

It looks like a popular name in Devon mine are all between the Torridge and the Taw
I wonder will they all meet up if we go back far enough? :)
Trees with Notts in Fremington, Topsham and Beaford though strangely not in Dolton Bill how odd is that?

Hi Trees,
The Nott family owned a traction engine and combine harvester and living in the village, did the threshing for all the local farmers in and around Dolton, it was not unusual to see the traction engine towing the combine harvester, a trailer, a small caravan and an austin seven hitched up behind on the roads. You can see them all in one of the photographs with the traction engine.
Bill.

I'm also descended from James NOTT and Joan COLMAN, via their daughter, Joan NOTT, who married Daniel JENNINGS on 1 Jan 1816 at Pitminster, Somerset.
I don't have an exact date, but I was told that James NOTT (born circa 1782) was baptised at Holcombe Rogus, Devon, as was his sister Sarah (1783), while his brother, John NOTT was bap 16 Jul 1780, Ashbrittle, Somerset.
