Hello

I am researching the GEEN family from Parracombe, Devon.
I am specifically searching for the baptism of Agnes Geen. She married 1766 and was buried in 1816.
There are two choices of baptism
1 - 3rd May 1741 in Martinhoe, Devon the next parish to Parracombe. This date ties with her age at death  which was 75. BUT she would then have had 3 children in her forties, the last at 46. The naming pattern also adds up, her mother also being Agnes.

2 6th May 1747 in Parracombe. The other trees on ancestry have all chosen this option, but have not bothered to find other children apart from their direct line, and have all taken the info from each other.

I chose the first option, but am a bit worried about her having children so late. My Nan had a child at 44 but is 46 reasonable gien lack of health care at the time?

Which option would you chose?

Hello
is anyone researching the ANSTIE family of Dulverton? I have looked at Parish Records from 1558 and suspect ROBERT and JOANE are the parents of JOHN [  - 1590], WILLIAM [   -1598] AND  DAVID [     -1597].
I cannot go back any further, I don't know where these men were baptised.  A source tells me that they came to Somerset from Cambridgeshire. But why would they? Does anyone know of a link between the two counties?
many thanks

Morning

if anyone is going to Taunton could I ask for help with the marriage of
Robert PURNELL and Jane ? EARE please?
The marriage took place at Wells Cathedral on 13 May 1706. No-one can read the surname of the bride from the Parish Register microfiche.. On Family search they say PEARE but I wonder if it is FEAR
As they married by licence I am hoping the licence has survived and give me some help.

Many thanks for reading this

hello

I'm searching for an ESTHER ANN DAVIES who was born around 1807 - 1815 depending on which record you look at.
In 1841 she is in Glascwm, is shown as ANN, is married to William LEWIS and aged 25 ~ but I think the enumerator wrote 27 first then wrote 25 across it.

In 1841 Ann or Esther Ann is not of the county of Radnorshire, but in her 1827 marriage she is said to 'be of Llandegley' which is in Radnorshire.
Is there another Llandegley somewhere? Have they moved the county boundaries?
Can anyone with local knowledge please help?
