Devon / Re: Agnes Mafis m. William Evans 1713 Plymouth St. Andrew
« on: Saturday 04 October 25 17:06 BST (UK)  »
I think that the name written is Mafis. For the final S compare with the Francis Harris marriage on the same page March 12th 1713.

As they were married by licence you should be able to find the entry in the Bishops Act books at the Devon Heritage Centre & compare her name there. The reference or the correct volume is:

DEX/1/b/8   Act Book Volume 8   1704- 1719

Furthermore also at the Devon Heritage Centre is the library of the Devon & Cornwall Record Society which has transcripts of  the Devon marriage licences granted, using either of the above you may if it has survived find a copy of the licence bond or allegation, which also give the name of the bride.

Quote from the Devon Heritage Centre Catalogue
Marriage Bonds and Allegations: documents prior to the issue of a Licence

“The Exeter Diocesan marriage bonds and allegations, covering the years 1660 to 1842, were sorted some years ago into chronological (date) series for Devon (held in 169 boxes) and a separate series for Cornwall (held in 32 boxes). The Exeter marriage bonds have a maximum date range of December 1660 to October 1823 for Devon........”

Thanks Cass,

So if Elizabeth is buried in the same cemetery as her 1st husband the same might apply to William & Sarah Ann.

I'll try next to track down Stirling cemetery records.

Hi Cass,

Thanks for reply & the information on William & Elizabeth. Looks as though this might be a tough nut to crack.

I find it odd that Elizabeth was buried at Balhannah cemetery and William was buried at Stirling cemetery, I would have expected them to be in the same grave. This makes me wonder whether William was buried with Sarah Ann & that she is therefore in Stirling cemetery?

A quick check on Google maps told me that Crafers to Stirling is 1.7 km & Stirling to Balhannah is
14.4 km. Did Elizabeth have any connection to Balhannah?

Any thoughts on this?

Australia / Searching for the place of Burial of Sarah Ann Rogers in 1867
« on: Wednesday 24 September 25 20:36 BST (UK)  »
From the South Australia Deaths Index 1842-1972, I have found these details of Sarah Ann’s death;

First name(s) Sarah Ann Last name Rogers 
Gender Female Status Married Birth year 1826 Death year 1867 Death date 7 Jun 1867 Age at death 41 Residence Crafers Place Crafers District Adelaide State South Australia Registration number 27/391 Informant Husband Informant's name W Rogers.

I live in England & have no idea of how to track down her burial place in South Australia, so any help or suggestions from local family historians would be hugely appreciated, can anyone help with this?
