HAMLEY

[hamleyseeker]

I am seeking the birth of George HAMLEY; he married Anne RUNDELL in Tavistock Devon 21  Aug 1784;  she was christened Anne RENDLE in the town Feb 1760 but there's no evidence of his baptism there. They were non-conformists.
I estimate his birth to be 1750-1765 possibly close to the Devon/Cornwall border.
Any help is gratefully appreciated. Thank you.

There seems to be a few spelling variations that you might try Hamly/Hambley/Hambly. 
Do you have a middle name/initial for him?
Do you have any names for their children. As frequently families use naming conventions where children are named after parents/grandparents.

Thank you very much for your response.
 I am unaware of any second name for George nor of any of his off-spring who were: George 1785-1867; William 1788-1799; Susanah 1790-1855; Ann 1793-1868; Jane 1799-1861. George 1785 is my direct ancestor; there have been a few 'George William's in the wider  Hamley family.
That is all the help I can think of at present.

From what  I have seen so far the majority of Hamley's seem to have been in Cornwall so I am confining my search to that area for now (as you mentioned at least villages near the Devon border anyway), using names of William and Susanah as possible parents names.

Cornwall-OPC-database has non-conformist baptisms.
Some of the circuits overlapped into Devon.

My ancestors were Bible Christians from North Devon, and I found some of their records in the Kilkhampton Circuit records on Cornwall OPC.

My HAMLEYs are Devon, but I can sympathise with the changing spelling, especially if the "variants" program doesn't pick up on them all. Not the worst surname I've had for that though

Thank you for your reply. I can only persevere.
