Greetings! In answer to a couple of very generous offers to do lookups I am desperate to find out the origins of my ancestor ANN COLLOM/ COLLUM and variants (Colam, Colum, Collumb, Collumbe etc.) who married RICHARD PAIN in Stoke Damerel in 1804 (IGI parish record extract)
Richard Pain went to Devonport to work as a Shipwright in the Naval Dockyards after he finished his apprenticeship in Fowey, Cornwall in 1802. He and Ann had 9 known children, but only three daughters survived to adulthood
Richard was born in 1780 so I am assuming that his wife Ann Collom would have been born around the same time or a bit later. Does anyone have any Parish Records they could search for her baptism, even if only to count an area or parish out?
There is a possibility Ann was born in Mevagissey in 1783, but as, in later census records some of the Pain children survivors were found living with, or visiting, Collom families, I need to find out if they were a long standing Devonport/East Stonehouse family.
Thanking you in anticipation for any help you can give me. Diana in Tropical Far North Queensland
