St Andrews, Plymouth lookup

[wlddlw]

Hi,

Looking to find a marriage for a Edward Champernowne to Bridget (unknown) in 1658.  (in St Andrews, Plymouth)

* Looking to find the last name to Bridget
* Hoping to find parents name of Edward and Bridget.

Also if possible.  Edward was baptised on the 03 July 1630 at same parish.  Fathers name Edward Champernowne, looking for mothers name as conformation..  Hoping it will be Elizabeth Shapleigh or Swift.

Thanks everyone

Debbie

Records of this age have not always survived intact unfortunately. However, transriptions of Plymouth St Andrew marriages from that era are online via the IGI with none shown for an Edward CHAMPERNOWNE. The marriage probably took place elsewhere but a record may not have been transcribed and you will need to search many different parishes in the hope of finding it. The IGI confirms the 1630 baptism with father Edward - however it was commonplace for the mother's name not to be recorded at this time.

Thank you for your response.

I find alot of information on the Champernowne family, but come to this connection I can not find records.  I have however found family trees with this connection but never any citations as to where they got the information. 

Regards

That's the problem when you get this far back. Parish record keeping did not start until 1538 and it wasn't kept with future genealogists in mind! :-)
