Hi Deb,
Thanks for your last two posts. But now I am confused, as John and Susannah's son William married Mary Ann Mudge, and they did not have an Amelia. Unless the marriage to Mary Ann was a second one for William.

I do not know if that is our John or not, There does not appear to be any Joseph or Hannah's in this family line.

Hi Deb,
What was I thinking?, it could not even be a second marriage for our William, as he never married Mary Ann Mudge until 25 Dec 1809 St Gregory's Dawlish. Amelia was Born 1810. I still think that her father William might very well turn out to be John's brother.

Hi haselbury

eekkk it's all so confusing withe the same names and same places.

Amelia's death cert would state her age at death.

it seems we have 2 Amelia's
1810 d/o William and Ann
1801 d/o John and Susannah

Amelia in 1841 = 30yrs
Amelia = Thomas Loram 1832... eldest son George bc 1833
arrghh ..she could be either of the 2.

will check for an Amelia born 1801 in the 1841

Hi Deb,
Just received another email, this one was from Petronella de Maddleworth, from Bombay, in India. I tried to send an email message of thanks, but it came back with server not found. This is what Petronella had to say.

haselbury,
My husband Conglad is a native born Indian, but his cousin who's surname is Davis was born in Dawlish Devon England.
His family returned to India where he was registered + Baptised. I was inquiring personally to a man who was named Trent, in London in 2001, as he said he knew a lot about a Davis Family from Dawlish, Devon. His reply to me, was, he had no relations that were of the Indian race. Then last year in August, I received a copy of the Davis Family of Devon from Matilda sister of Trent, who said he had past away in Jan 2008 in Japan.  Matilda went on to say, Trent was not a genealogist, and some of his associations maybe wrong, so it will need checking out.  This family line is not mine, I do believe it belongs to you. I saw your posts and all your long communications with deb from u.s.a., so I thought this might help you both. I do so wish it was mine, you are so lucky. Petronella.
