help finding Abel's parents........
« on: Thursday 03 July 08 15:41 BST (UK) »

hi

i have only just started using IGI and i am not sure of it yet.

I am trying to find information about the parents of Abel FINNIMORE.

I have found Abel in all the census returns from 1841 to 1901 (he was 81)

1901 - ABEL FINNIMORE RG13/2036/12/16
1891 - ABEL FINNIMORE RG12/1678/51/3
1881 - ABEL FINNIMORE RG11/2232/52/4
1871 - ABEL FINNIMORE RG10/2050/70/24
1861 - ABEL FINNIMORE RG9/1385/57/10
1851 - ABEL FAINIMORE HO107/1866/41
1841 - A C FINNIMORE HO107/206/1


In 1841 it has been transcribed as A C but i am sure this says Abel, it is difficult to read.

I wonder if the name above is his father Rich/ Richard which has been transcribed as Jas.


I have found the christening of Abel on the IGI - 16 April 1820 and it gives his parents as Anne and Rich.  There are also 9 or 10 other children

Could anyone tell me how can i now go further back, i would like to find the marriage of Ann and Rich and how do I carry on from there?

i know this is a long one......... any help would be appreciated.

regards

There is an IGI record for a marriage

Richard Finnimore with Ann Beavis , 18 May 1813Woodbury Devon.

Might be worth following that up.

Forgot to mention Woodbury is very close to Aylesbeare, birth place of Abel

wow - thanks so much Geoff,

i will have a look at all that info and see if i can find it. 

i am trying to get to grips with IGI, i guess i need to use it more.  i did do some searches, how do i knoe that the Richard and Ann are the right ones?

do i need to look at the parish records at all?

Two types of LDS records- submitted and extracted. Submitted ones are only as good as the information submitted. Extracted records may also contain errors and both should be treated as guides and verified.

would that marriage be too late though, they had children christened before that, from 1806 so i was looking for a marriage before 1806, ?

Hi Sara

People did marry after they started having children so it would still be worth following up. However I notice there is a Woodbury baptism for the couple in same year as marriage so mayb they aren't yours Undecided

One other thing

I notice one of the Aylesbeare couple's  children is
Anne Hingcombe Penny Finnimore 21 JUL 1822

The use of surname's as middle-names usually points to mother's maiden-name ( or any earlier maiden-name) and I found this lady

Ann Kingcom Penny 7 JAN 1781  Saint Olave, Exeter parents John Penny and Mary

Seems rather a coincidence. H and K could easily be confused in transcription.
No obvious marriage but Exeter St Olave isn't extracted onto the IGI for the dates you are looking at. Well worth following up.

This site is worth knowing as it allows you to search the IGI extracted records by parish

thanks Jan

yes i had the thought too about maiden names when i saw that name. 

how do i follow it up though?

 
both should be treated as guides and verified.

and how do i verify any infomation i find on IGI.

thanx everyone for your help.  i really appreciate it

sara
sorry - i have done quite a bit of research but i'm only just getting beyond 1837 and am not sure what to do.

do i need to order the fiche/film to view at an LDS centre to verify??

Hi Sara,

If you have a LDS centre near you, you should order the films from the records we have found.

Alternatively you could search the parish records for Aylesbeare and Woodbury but that would mean a trip to Devon.

I had seen the midddle name Hingcombe as posted by Jan, and as she so correctly said that would indicate a mother's name.

There is no easy way, you will just have to check the IGI films to try and confirm what has been found.
                                                 Regards

You can check LDS catalogue online at www.familysearch.org to see what miccrofilms are available to order.

Hi Sara

You could also go to the Devon board here on Rootschat and post on the Look-up section asking if anyone can check the original parish records of the various IGI records for any other info. Also ask if anyone can look at the Exeter St Olave records for a marriage c1806.
There is also this site which will provide one- name print outs from their marriage index for a small fee

http://www.devonfhs.org.uk/indexes.htm

Good luck and do let us know if you find anything out  Cheesy
