Title: POMEROY family in Stoke Gabriel, Devon
Post by: amandas123 on Wednesday 25 April 18 12:20 BST (UK)
Is there anyone here who knows about the birth of JOHN POMEROY  abt 1685 probably in Stoke Gabriel or at least Devon?

I have read that is he was a son of Valentine Pomeroy and Lucy (nee Hody). 

I can't find a John born to this couple except the one who died in 1681 (a year after their marriage).

I have found a John Pomeroy marrying Mary Narraccot in 1724 in Stoke Gabriel.

Would much appreciate any help. xxx

There is a gap in the information but  I think the dates are wrong for the Narracot marriage for John to be son of Valentine Pomeroy & Lucy Hody.
Numerous descendents from Pomeroy family are testing to see if the Pomeroy Family Associaltion can link this couple to the Armorial Tree. The family went to Sandridge near Stoke Gabriel , close to Brixham after the castle and the barony was sold in 1547.
Its a puzzle that is being researched extensively
You  can look on my site Pomeroy Twig 2 ( devon based )

where I have collected all the BMDs in the whole area around Sandridge, Stoke Gabriel and Brixham and Dartmouth and all kinds of odds and ends that might be relevant.

Thanks for the links slightlyfoxed, and for making all that work available.

It has inspired me to look again at my Pomeroy connections. I'll start a separate thread about them.

The marriage of John Pomeroy to Mary Narracott took place on 10 April 1728 at Stoke Gabriel.  :)

Is this the John whose birth you are trying to find.  If so have you any idea of his age at death to establish year of birth

John was buried 20 Jun 1775 and Wife Mary 29 Nov 1763 Stoke Gabriel.
John was described as John Snr
No ages given.

JOAN 18 Mar 1728/9
JANE 8 Jan 1730/1
SARAH 30 Apr 1734
MARY 29 May 1736

All on FreeREG

JOHN 7 July 1738
ELIZABETH 7 April 1740
ROGER 7 June 1742
ELEANOR 30 April 1744
GRACE 14 January 1746

So there was a John Jnr.
