Title: Westleigh, Burlescombe
Post by: Jazz on Friday 02 January 04 02:40 GMT (UK)

My Devon ancestors came from Westleigh to NZ in 1874.
Connected surnames are:

DAVEY
QUICK
COSWAY
STUBBS
LAPTHORNE
KERSLAKE

I'd like to hear from relatives of the above.     Jazz

Hello!
I too am related to a 'Kerslake' family from Devon.
However my family are not from either Westleigh or Burlescombe, but from Cheriton Fitzpaine and Crediton. 'Your' villages are located a short distance east of Tiverton, while 'my' towns are located south-west of Tiverton, as you can see if you follow this link:
