Hi I've come to join the discussions on the brixham nowells. What started out as an attempt to complete my mothers early ( before computers ) efforts to find dirrect ancestors has turned into an obsessive desire to link all the Brixham Nowell together like a jigsaw! it has been great fun and I must be getting near the end.??
John William born 1809-- a big problem-- there doesn't appear to be any trace of parents, I had given him to John & Temperance but the gap there between chidren is only 19 months, other candidates were Joseph & Mary with 23 months between children at that time, Richard & Mary or Thomas & Harriet but nothing concrete. I'm also a bit puzzled by note on Ancestry about probate on his will in 1876, £99 17 02d left to charlotte Lambert wife of William Valentine Lambert, I have Charlotte junior married to someone else. Any input to my jigsaw greatfully received.
I'd also like to find parents for John Nowell born Churston 1817 married to Mary then Eliza,- with Children John Percy, Florence Mary, and Annie
