Devon Lookup Requests / Re: Braunton Parish Registers: PARMINTER & KNILL

Hi John
Good to hear. I've got quite a lot of info about some of the many Knills, maybe drop me a line and we'll see if we meet up anywhere in the tree, we could then swap more info if it's appropriate.

Steve, thank you so much for doing that and taking the time and trouble to send the information over. I will start processing it later. In the meantime I've been using the British newspaper archive site to find all kinds of things about the Knill ancestors in Barnstaple, so that side of the tree is really building up.
Thank you again, very much appreciated.

Does anyone know how you go about finding apprenticeship deeds? I know that you can find taxation records on certain sites, but I am looking for actual deeds (in the Essex area in the first instance). Where might such things be kept and are they generally accessible?

Yes, that's my problem. Would look on line as I have with others, but can't in this case. :(

Is anyone able to look for a birth in the Quendon Parish Register 1687 - 1860 for me? It's not online (and I am in Greece) the ref on Seax is: T/R 211/1
Scope and Content    Transcripts of Quendon parish registers comprising baptisms, maniages and burials, 1687-1860

Am looking for the birth of and parents for (if possible) William Collen (or Collin, or Collyn) born around 1694, and any other children of the same parents if you happen to notice them, but William is the most important at the moment.

Many thanks!

Hi Steve and happy New Year to you too.

Thank you so much for the information, good to have things verified like this, and the baptism for Mary Parminter is wonderful. I, and a few other people looking at the same family, had assumed she was a Mary Parminter born in 1705, then we found her marriage and of course she couldn’t be (or else she would have been 10), so we were scuttled and I’d not been able to find another birth on line. But the dates you've got there fit perfectly and clear up that mystery nicely.

If you do ever have time and inclination to see if you can find anything more about her line then please feel free, but only if/when you can of course.

And this piece of news comes hot on the heels of another breakthrough I had only yesterday on my Collins (my name) line, which has now unlocked a path leading back to ancestors of the 15th century. Maybe 2012 will be a lucky year for my research.

Thank you again!

James

Thanks Steve
Thought it was a bit of a long shot but a double check would be great.
