Hi all happy new Year
Looking for the Parents of George Davey dob 1790 Witheridge Devon he married Elizabeth Pope 13th April 1813 . I believe his parents was William Davey & Joan. Any information would be most welcome. Brian

Baptism at Witheridge 1790- George son of William Davey of Tholbridge Alms person by Joan his wife baptised October 24th

I have a George Davey from more than a century earlier, in the same part of Devon (Calverleigh rather than Witheridge, about 12 km walk). I know almost nothing about him (no dates, no birth or death place, no wife, no occupation) beyond the fact that his daughter Elizabeth married Humphry Bidgood on 23 June 1680 in Calverleigh. I'm more interested in Bidgood descendants than Davey descendants, but if there is any information about George Davey's origins I'd be interested to know.

athel_cb - the problem you have is that parish registers for Calverleigh only survive back to 1679, so if your George was baptised there you won't find a record. FYI - the 1680 marriage between Elizabeth & Humphrey BIDGOOD does state that George Davey's wife was Margaret - very unusual at this time to have so much information included in a marriage entry.

Thank you all for your help, But I am a bit confused because DOB7 said the 1680 Marriage but George was not born until 1790 where did you find this info I have used Ancestry, Family Search, & my Heritage but all I come up with is parents Willian Davey &Elizabeth Pope.
Regards Brian
