Hi Cody, I think you and I have corresponded about the Angels before!

Thank you for the extra information about Great Torrington Church, and the returns.  I can get a little bit further back now!

Would anyone be able to help with my Stanbury ancestors?

We have William Stanbury born c1785 unknown location.  Moves to Portsea and has children there.  Son William is born around 1816, unknown mother.

Elder William married Ann Weable in Portsea (or Eling) and they have more children.

All the children's names I have so far are, William 1816ish, Susanna 1818, John 1821, Ann 1824, George 1826, Mary 1826.

Not sure how I have George and Mary both born 1826?

John has an interesting story according to a tree on Ancestry.  He moved to London, married, but that didn't work out and he moved to Devon (or Cornwall) and had a common law wife there.

William the elder is on the 1841 census as a widower in Portsea living with daughter Mary.

William the younger moves to London and marries Isabella Ingram. and is my ancestor,

William the elder was in the 1841 census still in Portsea, a widower living with his daughter Mary.

We have a DNA link to the Fewings line. There are other potential DNA matches for Stanbury that I have yet to explore.  One of them seemed to go to a totally different Stanbury line that comes from John Stanbury and Susanna Bevan in Lifton, Devon.  And I've just noticed that William 1785 has children named John and Susanna?  The tree I saw for John Stanbury and Susanna Bevan said they had a son in Lifton about 1788, which would fit with our one...but they shouldn't connect to Fewings?

I'm still going through DNA matches but I think we've also matched to the line of a Thomas Stanbury born in the Channel Islands, and I think, iirc, his line went to America.

I am descended from Stanbury and Fewings, happy to help.  Where are your DNA links?

I do not have a William Stanbury b1785, nor the Lifton connection.

DNA tested with Ancestry.

If you're goldfinch99 on Ancestry, we have no DNA connection.

What is the Fewings connection?

No, this isn't my username on Ancestry and the Fewings line DNA match(es) are to my aunt, not to me. I'd rather not post all that info in the public thread but am happy to communicate with possible tree matches privately.

I have sent you a PM but I'm struggling with the interface here.

William senior 1785 Lifton to John Stanbury x Susanna Bevan. Married Ann Metters 1814 Plymouth.

The Fewings/Angel connection is uncertain. It could be through Peter Stanbury 1754 Inwardleigh to Samuel Stanbury x Mary Newcombe, but there is a Peter still in Inwardleigh in 1817 (his death) married to Martha Yeo (his Will names her).

I thought this would be a simple surname to research when I first found it in my tree a few years ago. 

I've searched my aunt's DNA matches and, unlike me, she has matches who descend from the Bevan family that Susannah Bevan belonged to. I can't be certain we don't match these people some other way.  This is going to take a lot of research.

I will look up that Metters marriage.  I also want to search for Newcombe because that feels familiar to me somehow.

e went to America.

Are you saying William Stanbury (elder) and Ann Weable are the parents of William, Susanna, John, Ann, George and Mary. You haven't provided marriage details but the only marriage/marriage licence details I could find had them marrying 1824.
