Dear Dorothy

Thanks ever so much for that. With the later generations I agree with William's children and Eliza Sage etc but I have the following:-

1 William ACFORD
----------------------------------------
Death:   bef 1841
Occ:   Mason
Father:   Robert ACFORD (~1784-)
Mother:   Catherine HARRIS (1789-)

Spouse:   Elizabeth Chapell TRICK
Birth:   abt 1808
Father:   John TRICK (~1761-)
Mother:   Sarah CHAPELL
Marr:   12 Jun 1831, St Mary's, Bideford, Devon

Children:   Robert (Died as Infant)
   William (1834-1909)

1.1 William ACFORD
----------------------------------------
Birth:   1834, Bideford, Devon
Death:   1909, Neath Registration District, Glamorgan
Occ:   Bootmaker
Spouse:   Eliza SAGE

In 1841 William was living in Silver Street, Braunton with his aunt Catherine Passmore.
In 1861 & 1871 William & Eliza were living in Braunton, Devon.
In 1881 William was a quarryman liiving in Llewellyn Street, Aberavon, with his wife Eliza and children, John , Mary Jane & Florence.
In 1901 William was living in Llewellyn Street, Aberavon.

I haven't got any mention of a Charlotte, and the William born in 1835 definitely didn't die in 1882, as you can see from the 1901 census above.

I had assumed that Robert's parents were a William and Sarah, but I had no other detail, so your info was fantastic.

If you have anything that contradicts Elizabeth Chapell Trick then I would love to know so that I can correct my records.
Many thanks
Karen

I am trying to trace the family of Archibald McCorquodale/McCorkindale and Ann McPhail/McPhale who lived in various hamlets on Lismore.
I have two problems, one I can't track where Archibald came from and secondly I am unable to find the place names in the OPR.
The eldest daughter Katharine was born in 1786 in the parish of Kilmore & Kilbride at a place which looks like "Marnacary".
The second child Isobel was born in the Lismore, Appin & Duror parish at a place called "Porteharon". The place name given in 1793 for the third daughter Margaret look like "Dalinrue".
Any help with these place names would be greatly appreciated.

What a star  - no you are not muddled, the Dawson family assumption was mine. I couldn't find Elizabeth & Thomas Dawson in Burnham, but there was an Elizabeth and Thomas Dawson of the right age baptised in Bray.
As Edmund Winder - Elizabeth's husband came from Bray, and because he was the executor to Thomas Dawson's will, I assumed that the families were close and had associated because they had both come to Burnham from Bray.
However my Elizabeth's married name was WINDER, so it looks like she is the daughter mentioned in the will of your John.
Can we swap email addresses as we appear to be related, at least once (the Dawson's are on my Mum's side & the Goldwins are on my Dad's).
 

Hi
I've got a few Burnham Bayleys on my family tree. The earliest one that I have any interest in is:-

Thomas BAYLEY
----------------------------------------
Birth:   abt 1716, Britwell Farm, Burnham, Bucks
Chr:   St Peter's, Burnham, Bucks
Death:   Feb 1762, Britwell Farm, Burnham, Bucks
Burial:   9 Feb 1762, St Peter's, Burnham, Bucks

Thomas was the son of Thomas & Margaret Bayley of Britwell Farm in Burnham.

Spouse:   Sarah GOLDWIN
Chr:   14 Aug 1730, St Peter's, Burnham, Bucks
Father:   Thomas GOLDWIN (chd. 1698-1776)
Mother:   Elizabeth (~1702-brd. 1764)
Marr:   29 Sep 1755, St Peter's, Burnham, Bucks

Children:   Thomas (chd. 1756-1787)
   Margaret (Died as Infant) (chd. 1758-brd. 1758)
   Elizabeth (1760-)
My interest is because I descend from the Gouldwin/Goldwin family.
Sorry I can't fill you in on any burials.
However the freaky thing is that I also descend directly from a family of Dawsons who came from Bray in Berkshire but lived Burnham. The Dawson details are below. Again suffering from the lack of burial references but with any luck the details from one of these families will be useful or at least confirm what you have.

Here's hoping.
