Devon / Re: William Pring of Devon Born circa 1777
« on: Wednesday 19 September 18 06:20 BST (UK)  »
After spending a lot of time trying to find where and when William was baptised, I did a 67 marker YDNA test and had some Prings I had met in England do the same.
The results told me that my William's family had been originally from Awliscombe in Devon.
When I traced back through multiple families around that date, Chudleigh came up as the only viable answer as it was evident that the family had come from Awliscombe.
Autosomal DNA testing was useless for anyone more than about two generations, so I was pleased that YDNA went back multiple hundreds of years.
Now all I need is an answer to my mother's line through MTDNA testing.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: PRING DNA

We now have quite a few more Pring  FT DNA results and a few different families.
These go back a lot further than an autosomal kits allows.
Please see attached as of Mar 2018.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: PRING DNA
« on: Wednesday 28 January 15 05:07 GMT (UK)  »
Dear Pringlefooty,
I have now asked for a kit to do this.
I am an Australian living in Adelaide and have roots back to Prings in Littleham/Budleigh Salter, Devon.
I notice that all the people who have been tested for Pring do not seem to show on the family Tree DNA site and was wondering how to contact these people if I need to.
regards,
Graham

Dear Darwin53,
Thank you for your reply, which I found amazing.
I was in Devon about 5 years' ago on a holiday from Adelaide, South Australia and spent quite some time looking at records in the Devon Records Office as well as what I could find in parish registers plus graveyards and could not find this information now available at Family Search.
My estimate on birthdate for William was based on an Exeter Flying Times report of the accident with details, where it said William was about 60 in 1837.
The report also said he was buried in Littleham along with three children, however I could find no records or headstones at that stage.
I would love to see copies or notes taken from the parish burial register and the baptism along with some form of verification.
Thank you very much for your effort.

Dear Cemetery Friends,
I have spent quite some considerable time in the Devon Records Office and found some records, however there appears to be no baptism records for William in areas around Devon that I could find that were relevant.
I have also chased up all Parish records I can find.
Thank you for your input.

« on: Saturday 11 October 14 04:47 BST (UK)  »
Looking for information regarding a William Pring, Born c 1777, Labourer/Husbandman/Public House Keeper, married 27 Nov 1807 to Elizabeth Taylor, born 9 May 1786 in East Budleigh, Devon (parents Thomas and Jane/Jenny Taylor).
William, along with three children, Robert, Harriet and Elizabeth all drowned on 26 Jan 1837 in the River Exe at Exmouth.
Henry, born 1906 and William, born 1916 both went to Australia and died there.
Charles, born Feb 1808 in East Budleigh, Anna Maria, born 1810 and Mary Ann Pring born 1812, both born in Littleham, Exmouth, Devon I know nothing about.
Any information would be appreciated.
