Hello there,
I just wondered if some one could help me with a possible look up please?
I am trying to find the parents and siblings of Simon Sweetland b 1705 at Kilmington in Devon. I also wondered if there was a record of his marriage to the Mary below please?
I think I might have asked before and was told the register for around this time was lost but wondered if it might have appeared since my last writing please. There are so many little clusters of Sweetlands born in the surrounding villages and I really want to find out how my family are linked!
Thanks in advance for reading this

Best wishes,
Emma

Hi Adrienne,
Thank you for getting in touch if you can shed any more light on him that would be amazing. I think it was Simon's son Simon who moved to Canada and had John?
I think they moved there due to the Devon clearances?
Nice to meet a fellow decendant 😊
Best wishes Emma

Dear Keith,
Thanks for looking up the births of Simon's children, much appreciated. I wish the earlier register for Kilmington had not vanished, it is so sad!
Have a good day.
Best wishes,
Emma

Did you try the Familysearch Catalog? They have the BTs for Kilmington which contain a lot of the years you're after. You will need to go to a Family History Library at an LDS Church to view them unless you have an LDS identifier. Many of the PRs/BTs in the catalog aren't indexed, so you'll need to do a brute force search. They also have a transcription of the PRs.
To me, the Catalog is one of the most underrated genealogy sources around.

Dear Keith,
Thanks you very much for the suggestion, I had a look on the website and found some enteries but couldn't see the copies of the PR so didn't give it much thought. I didn't think of going to a Family History Library so will look into it.
Much appreciated.
Best wishes,

You can view the Kilmington BTs online through Familysearch, at https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-L93K-29QQ-6?mode=g&cat=1834065 . As usual, they are not complete. They have 1702-1705 but then jump to 1713. (1705 is on image 31.) I didn't see any Sweetlands in a quick scan of those few years, but there is a Peter son of John Sweetland in 1699 who could be a brother.
Simon Swetland married Mary Lidon in 1725, image 43.

Dear David,
Thanks ever so much for the link, it was great to see the records and thank you for taking the time to look up those of interest too with the page numbers, that is really kind of you.
I suspect Simon was bap 1700 or 1702 which isn't there but I will definately investigate Peter as a potential brother. A Peter dies in 1701 but whether adult or child is unknown but in Kilmington when Simon is having children so it a Peter and Joane Swetland. Interestingly in 1716 an Ann Swetland is baptised at Kilmington ages 15 which could be a sister as Simon was baptised in Membury aged 16 following starting his apprentiship aged 15 (poor law apprentiship - original parish was Kilmington). Perhaps the parents died when they were young. I am going to see if Peter was apprenticed.
I just wouldn't have known how to look for the register pages so thanks again for the link and the Peter lead,
Best wishes,
Emma

I was born and lived in Whitford not far from Kilmington. Not sure if the person is anything to do with your Sweetland family. In Seaton Junction which is not far from Kilmington lives a person called Keith Sweetland with his wife and I think they have children. Keith would be a bit younger than me and I'm 65.

Hi, Thank you for getting back to me, that is really interesting and Keith is probably related somehow. Most of my remaining Sweetland family now live in Chard, I will get in touch and see if they know him as maybe he will know something to tie Simon Sweetland b c1700 down. Best wishes,
Emma
