Hi,
I am researching my partner's family and have Robert Hughes aka Jones and Sarah possibly Davies as his Great Great Grandparents. their daughter Sarah married Charles Manley in Offwell Devon in 1891 Witnesses were Leonard Hughes and Patience Orchard. I have drawn a blank as far as Robert Hughes's wife Sarah and Robert Hughes's headstone in Honiton Cemetery doesn't give anything away!
I am looking for information about the Manley family too. Charles Manley I think was born in Uplyme in 1870, I have a birth certificate which I feel (after 9 years of searching) is probably the correct one, his parents being Henry Manley and Matilda nee Wells. On his marriage certificate he said his father was Harry Manley a Horse dealer and certainly his brothers went on to be horse dealers and he himself is recorded as such on his marriage certificate. As for his Mother the only possible one on a census is called Emily in 1891 so that was no help, in 1871 she was called Matilda the same as on the tentative birth certificate I have.
If anyone has any links to any of these families I would love to hear from you, after all these years of searching with very little to go on I need a break!
Thanks
