Hi Kerry
Kerry thank you so much for all the information on the Traies family via Genes Reunited. I have finally sat down and started to get my head around the Rootschat website. What a wealth of information on the Traies family! So much to plough through!
My interest is through Jane Traies 1823 - 1913 and William Henry Roffe1822 - 1906 who were my gg grandparents.
As regards your postings of 19 March 2008 I think the place you were discussing with Deb is Uffculme, which is not much more than three miles away from where I live. The postal address is Cullompton. The Culme is the local river. When I get time I will visit Uffculme to see if I can discover anything more.
We moved to this part of the country some twenty years ago when I had no interest in tracing my family tree. At that time as far as I was concerned my antecedents all came from Kent and South London. How weird it is that unknowingly I moved back to my roots - so close to Exeter and Crediton (and Uffculme!).
I am now intrigued to discover whether or not William Traies the landscape painter was part of my family. Pictures on the web selling at £4000! Exeter Museum has some of his pictures but it is closed at the moment for refurbishment.
