Devon / Rafaels of Devon
« on: Saturday 15 October 16 12:16 BST (UK) »
Hi all
Is anyone familiar with Rafael families in Devon? I have Joan Rafael born 1748 in Hemyock to John and Ann (she also has a sister, Elizabeth, born 1752). Obviously this is an unusual name for Devon, and I often find other Rafaels spelt Raffles, Raffil, Raphel etc (my ancestor Joan's surname is spelt Radfield in one marriage record)
I cannot find any more information on Rafaels in Hemyock, but have found a family in Culmstock around the 1680s. Does anyone have information on the origin of this family?
Many thanks
Samuel
