Devon / COSWAY Family - Richard COSWAY 1742 - 1821
« on: Saturday 28 March 09 16:39 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to trace the Cosway family back in time and there is a "story" that we are related to the famous miniture painter Richard Cosway b 1742 - d 1821.

Richard was born in Tiverton, Devon and his father was a master @ Blundells  School. His uncle was mayor of Tiverton at the time.

My research has taken me back through my family history to a William Cosway b 1798 - d 1884 in Tiverton, but no further.

If you have any details of the Cosway family that connect with the painter, please let me know. I attach a self portrait for interest..

Devon / Paignton Map of 1920's

Hi there, I am trying to find a map of the 1920's of Paignton, Devon which shows the location of Lydwell Terrace.

I managed to get hold of a map from 1904, however, it does not show all of the street names. It would appear it was the birth place for one of my relatives. I have even asked Torbay Council but this has resulted in "no such place - sorry"....

If you know of a publication or have an image, please let me know.
