Hi Rena,

The Ferrers of Bere Ferrers in Devon are believed to be descended from Roger de Ferrers from Ferrières in Normandy, who was a vassal of Geoffrey II, Count of Mortagne and Count of Perche (who for his service in the Battle of Hastings, William the Conqueror gave a reward of significant property in England). You're right the name derives from Latin and is associated with iron, suggesting the area had iron deposits or smithing activity in antiquity or early medieval times.

I'm looking at his son or more likely grandson Ralph de Ferres which the "The earliest recorded existence of this family in Devon was Ralf de Ferrers in 1168" refers to. It is likely then that Ralph was able to obtain land through a later Count of Mortagne/Count of Perche.

Thanks
Lee

Some interesting history about what happened to 'Twinyeo Farm'

Can't quite link the Eastchurches yet but the estate was a settlement in Domesday Book so it's been around for a while

Hello,

I've got a baptism record for Thomas Eastchurch in Kingsteignton in 1681 that lists his father as Robert Eastchurch of ?Teigngow?

I'm struggling to find a locale/estate by this name but likely I'm reading it wrong. Does anyone have information on the 17th century Kingsteignton Eastchurch family that might be able to help?

The other children I could find for this Robert Eastchurch and his wife Mary are Samuel (1683), Elizabeth (1688), Agnes (1690), Susanna (1692) and Thomasin (1693). All baptised in Kingsteignton but no other mention of a location but Robert is variously listed as gent or Mr in these records. 

I have tentatively linked this Robert Eastchurch (1640-1713) as the son of Thomas Eastchurch and Thomasin Balle (d. 1640 shortly after his birth), she was possibly of the Balle family of Mamhead. His father Thomas might be the Thomas Eastchurch of Kingsteignton (a 1655) that married Susan Waltham (bpt 15.04.1621, a 1655). Link: https://www.stirnet.com/genie/data/british/ww/waltham1.php

Thanks in advance for any help

No age, birthplace or parents are listed on the 1863 marriage certificate to Bridget McNamara.

Reconciling the church records with the registry's records was never completed which is why some marriage certs are still missing information.  Some of the Catholic church records have been filmed and deposited with the NSW State Library and NLA but searching their catalogues, they don't have the ones you need.  Neither does the SOAG.

Having a Google it seems that someone found that the church records for the Wilcannia-Forbes Diocese, of which Deniliquin is a part, are kept at Broken Hill.

Scroll down for "Contact us", it would be worth a go.

Hi Debra,

That is very interesting, I had just assumed it was simply missing the information from the beginning. I'm going to contact them as you suggested and see how I go, could be the missing link.

Thanks!

Yes you're right, I'll look into him again.
This James died in 1900 in Albion Park but doesn't appear to have any parents listed on his death record by looks of the NSW BDM.
But definitely someone to try to rule in/out as well if possible.
