Family History Beginners Board / Re: The VACHER Familly History
« on: Thursday 30 May 24 03:43 BST (UK) »
Hello,
I've been putting together my family tree on Ancestry, which is the "Vater" iteration of the Vatcher name and settled in Newfoundland around 1800.
I am also at the same empass as noted earlier; George / John Vacher in Milton Abbas.
From what I've been able to put together; George Vacher b. 1605 appears to have gone by "John". I think it far more likely that he married Dorothy White (which I found a record of a baptism for her in Hazelbury Bryan, dated 16 Mar 1605 or 1606).
I'm struggling with George "the elder" b.1580. Ancestry connects him to Elizabeth Painter with a marriage date of 1655 - which makes no sense.
There is definitely some confusion here and certainly with the circumstances at the time, it's no surprise. Along with a supreme lack of original names for their children!
Hopefully one day someone will figure it out and post it here!
Thanks
Mo
