Devon Lookup Requests / Emmett
« on: Friday 22 November 19 16:59 GMT (UK)  »
I am happy with my research on Richard Emmett, b3 May 1647 Harberton, Devon; died 15 March 1690; married 17 May 1673 Harberton.
I am looking for father.
Not happy with Nicholas Emmett married Agnes Hoare 31 Mar 1643 Plymouth St Andrew,
I have had no success with usual sources Ancestry etc. Can anyone suggest my next step?
Emmett seems variously spelt Emmett, Emitt, Emmet, Emmitt

Sorry to have taken so long to reply.
Given that all the other towns referred to for the family are only a short distance away it seems most likely that HARBERTON is the correct place.
There seems to be so little information available within the record I am using that I am having trouble to establish with any certainty fathers and sons let alone place.  Abbotskerswell and Kighweek are the main locations.

Hi again Ciderdrinker.
Now I am reallypuzzled.  I have been using Findmypast, like you, but I did not get that data and I should have.  What is that I keep doing wrong?  I'm asking myself and I don't have the answer.  However, I do appreciate your help.
As I said, I couldn't find connections for the Richards.  I wasn't happy with Richard's father as all I came up with was Richard born in Wembury 1660.  Nicholas as Richard's (b 1647 Halberton) father is much better.
Gets harder the earlier you go doen't
Bye and ta

I am relatively sure about:
John Emmett  b 9 Jan 1748 Abbotskerswell m Mary Sheppard:  his father
Nicholas Emmett b 9 Aug 1719 Highweek  m Dorothy Addams: and his father
Roger Emmett b 27 Jan 1683 Highweek or Halberton m Judith Cummins

but I am stuck about his father:
Richard Emmett: and his father
Richard Emmett.
I can find births but no connecting data and I have looked extensively.

Does anyone have better ideas than me (no hard) or searching skills.  A prod in the right direction would be welcome

First time I've tried to post a photo.  Not very good at it.

Here is the photo I have of Elias George Emmett that Matthewj64 suggested I post.  Can't tell make.

Funniy enough, I had two 1926 Hudson Super 6s.  One had an extended Walter J. Murphy body.  Both were destrpyed in a bush fire.

I am overwhelmed by all the helpful advice and family data and very grateful.
It does seem, as Jamjar states, than sightings of Elias G. Emmett.  Did he have any children with Elsie Kate, or maybe one of the daughters mentioned is his.  Elsie was older than him and maybe it was just too late.  We shall see.
This all started because I found a photograph of George Emmett sitting in a car.

I had a great deal of trouble regarding Frederick, Elsie Kate, Emily and Kate Victoria.  I shall have to keep working on this.
The mention of E.G.Emmett in the Council Minutes is fascinating.  He was a carpenter and joiner as had been his ancestors every generation sonce 1680s.  I can't touch a piece of wood without getting a splinter.
