Title: Devon Family Historian vol 117 (2006ish)
Post by: webb1e on Saturday 25 October 08 20:32 BST (UK)
Hello,

If someone has volume 117 of the Devon Family historian I'd be grateful if they could tell me if there are any Thomases in David Horwill's article on Excise Officers in Devon, with the surname BERRY, LAVERS, LAVIS  or LIMPETEY or any sort of variation on these.

Thanks very much,

John

Terry,

Thanks for that. I had seen it, and understood it was only for volumes 1-100.

Barbara,

Thank you, I waited with fingers crossed!

It is available for later issues- I know because I scanned them for this purpose.

Thanks for the update. If Barbara can confirm he was there I'll be reaching for the cheque-book!

Hi John,
I have as copy of the Devon Family Historian vol 117. In the article you are looking for there is no mention of any of the surnames you are looking for.

best regards

Cathy

Hello Cathy,

I've been out of action for a while, so belated thanks for looking this up for me. This man is a mystery!

Thanks again,

John
