Passmore or Pasmore family of North Molton, Devon

[Dalet]

My thoughts are - that is a great idea!

I look forward to seeing what you have found.

As I said from the outset I am no expert in this area and I have, as you obviously have, seen stuff posted on various websites which is incorrect.

A fresh look at the information available is no doubt overdue. I have changed a couple of things also but won't post here until you list your findings.

These are marriages of Philip Pasmores who are associated with North Molton:

A. 5 May 1700 North Molton to Jone Abbot

B. 1 Feb 1723 North Molton to Elizabeth Pickard

C. 21 Mar 1764 Cutcombe, Somerset, to Joane Pasmore (bachelor - could sign)

D. 5 Jan 1768 North Molton to Diana Hulford (bachelor - could sign)

E. 9 Sep 1770 North Molton to Margaret Kingdon (widower - could sign)

F. 12 Mar 1776 Merton, Devon, to Elizabeth Broad (no marital status given - could sign)

G. 18 Jul 1784 North Molton to Catherine Painter (no marital status given - signed x)

H. 4 Feb 1785 South Molton to Mary Watkins or Willkins (no marital status given - signed x)

I. 4 Jan 1789 North Molton to Ann Watts (no marital status given - signed x)

J. 12 Nov 1792 North Molton to Elizabeth Radford (widower - could sign)

K. 17 Jul 1801 North Molton to Elizabeth Slader (bachelor - could sign)

I am doing this research to rule in or rule out my ancestor Philip Pasmore of Penryn, Cornwall (c1746/7-1802) as the one baptised in North Molton in 1747, so will also include his marriage:

X. 12 Aug 1781 St Gluvias, Cornwall, to Mary Launder (no marital status - could sign)

Dale, would you please have a look at the baptisms and marriages and let me know if you have any I have missed off.

I have looked at the burials, but just want to make sure I have not missed any baptisms or marriages off first before going into them.

I will then update with my findings on these 19 Philip Pasmores.

Thanks very much,
Jon

Excellent work, Jon.

I don't have any extras in that time frame.

And I was able to add a couple to my list.

Thanks. I will start putting up what I have found out first hand.

1. Bapt 16 Feb 1672 North Molton s/o Richard & Mary

This Philip Pasmore's marriage is:

A. 5 May 1700 North Molton to Jone Abbot

They had the following children: Richard 1700, Philip 1702, Joan 1703, John 1706, Robert 1708, Mary 1711 & Henry 1714.

He was the father of the Philip Pasmore I have numbered 2 and was the grandfather of the Philip Pasmores I have numbered 3, 4, 5 and 6.

He is presumably the Philip Passmore buried at North Molton on 5 September 1743.

The Devon will index has a Philip Pasmore of North Molton, but Devon wills were detroyed in WWII.

2. Bapt 1 Nov 1702 North Molton s/o Philip & Jone

This Philip Pasmore's marriage is:

B. 1 Feb 1723 North Molton to Elizabeth Pickard

Their children were: Joan 1724, John 1727, Elizabeth 1730 & Philip 1735. I have checked the baptism of Philip but the other children are from an online tree and should be double checked.

He was the son of 1 and father of 4.

His burial is assumed to be at North Molton on 24 February 1758 as Philip Pasmore.

A Philip Pasmore of North Molton is in the Devon will index for 1759. This will was lost with other Devon wills in WWII.

There is a second Devon will index record for a Phillip Pasmore of North Molton in 1762. There is not a burial for a Philip in that year, so I am not sure whose will this is.

3. Bapt 8 Apr 1731 North Molton s/o Richard & Mary

This Philip Pasmore's marriage is:

D. 5 Jan 1768 North Molton to Diana Hulford (bachelor - could sign)


Both were single and both could sign. The witnesses were John Passmore (could sign) and William Hulford (signed x)

Their children were: Richard 1768, Philip 1770, John 1774, Mary 1777, Jonathan 1779, Chardon 1782, Robert 1784, Philip 1789.

He was buried at North Molton on 4 October 1795 as 'Philip Pasmore (64) Memoram He was Clarke of this Parish 19 years'.

His age at burial confirms he was the Philip baptised in 1731.

He must have become parish clerk in 1776.

His signature at his marriage can be identified as also witnessing many other marriages in the registers of North Molton through his role as clerk.

He witnessed marriages E in 1770 (his first cousin) and G in 1784, although on G Philip is spelt with two Ls.

He also witnessed many other marriages as 'P. Pasmore'.

He was the grandson of 1 and father of 10 and 14.

His wife was buried as Dinah Passmore aged 49 on 18 November 1796.

Marriage J in 1792 is therefore not his and the signature there can be seen to be different.
