Whilst researching my Chaff family over the last 20 years I have acquired various oddments of information relating to names of people in this parish. I am quite happy to look at these for anyone who had relatives there. I may not have the info - but I can look.

Hi there
My family were the Willcocks' of Buckfastleigh but I also have a record of marriage that my 3 x Great Grandfathers second wife was Amelia Palmer Chaffe nee Merryfield. She married William Chaffe a Gunner in the Royal Artillery in the Totnes Registration District in 1854?. Do you have a record of this marriage, perhaps in Buckfastleigh? They had a daughter Annie Amelia Chaffe born 1862 Portsmouth, Dorset who married William Henry Abbott 08 Mar 1884 Dean Prior, Devon and lived & had family in Buckfastleigh.
