Clayhidon in the 1500s

[lyraea]

Well I was looking for some info on a couple of Summerhayes.    I am looking for the death of a Rebecca in 1603 and a marriage of Charity to Thomas Summerhayes btw 1599 and 1603 incl.   They are not in Yarcombe or Upottery which is where I thought they would be so  I thought I would look in something close.    Some of the family show up in Cleyhidon a bit later on so it seemed an obvious choice (or Churchstanton).   With the signpost I wondered what/where Clayhanger was.   Probably end up having to get a researcher which seems to be what happens when we get so far in our lines unless we can do it ourselves which being in NZ is a bit difficult.    Thanks for your interest.

The site above is the history of Clayhidon. Great site.  The wills section has 1583 records mentioning Clayhidon.

I have family from their, CORKs.

All the best,
Pam

Hello Pam,
I saw your post saying you have family from this area.  Cork and Greedy.  Some of my family are from here with the same names.  I have been looking for some information on them for a long time.  My great grandfather's name was Robert Cork born 1863.  He moved to Wisconsin, USA sometime later.  His mother was Hanna Greedy.

Hi
If you use Genuki to look at the parish map
http://genuki.cs.ncl.ac.uk/DEV/Clayhidon/ and
http://genuki.cs.ncl.ac.uk/DEV/Clayhidon/ParishMap.html
you will see that there are 2 detached parts of Clayhidon(Clayheadon) in side Hemyock Parish also people living in the South of the parish might have been as likely to attend Churchstanton, possibly road access in those days, form some parts of the parish, was easier to Hemyock or Churchstanton rather than to Clayhidon.
