I have Hugh Adams born 1816 in Portsea who married Amelia Chapman on 29 May 1836 at St Marys (source is a public family tree - so not 'proved'). I understand that she was also born in Portsea in 1819.

I am trying to confirm both births and the marriage, and if possible the parents of both. Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Yes I agree, I was very moved by the chat he had with the Indian man at the site of the battle/massacre. I am ashamed to say that I knew little of the King Philip war and the next day it set me off in another direction with my research.

On my gg grandmothers side of the family there are some ancestors who went over in the 1630s and I found that one of their sons was wounded in that event and died 5 months later. It made it all the more real for me and I feel uncomfortable about that even despite the distance of time and differing morals - but that's history I suppose.

I am trying to find the burial place of Thomas Berry who died at Woodbury in 1881. His parents and various other relatives are buried in St Swuthin's churchyard which is C of E. His father died in 1883 and mother in 1882. But I can't find Tom there.

When his wife Harriet (nee Sanders) died in 1907 she was buried in the non-conformist part of Dawlish cemetery, they married in Exeter register office so I wonder if he had left the C of E and been buried in non-conf place.

Does anyone have any knowledge of the ones around that area in those days? Thanks

I am interested in the (demolished) mill at Withycombe/Marpool near Exmouth. The old mill wheel in part of a floral display near the Esplanade and was made by Berry and Son of Woodbury.

My gggrandfather was Abraham Berry, and my ggrandfather was his son Tom. Tom died in 1881 and Abraham in 1883. I am assuming that the wheel was built by them, but I'd like to confirm it. Perhaps someone can tell me some of it's history, and when the wheel might have been put in place. I understand the Long family ran the mill until the 1960s. Its the only tangible thing I have touched from their foundry/agricultural works and I'd like to know some more.

Thank you this is getting the detective juices flowing!

I found Frances Holmes on 1851 census at 7 Salutary Place, and have a letter dated 1875 from her family at 9 Trinity St so will do some more digging and have a wander in Exeter soon.
