WORTH of Tiverton

[vivijune]

I'm trying to find a birth record for a William Worth who married Mary Symonds in 1744 in Tiverton. I would estimate he was born around 1720. There's a chance he might have been born in the village of Washfield two miles outside town. This is the most important record I'm trying to find.

I'm also attempting  to find the birth for a Bampfylde Worth, again probably born around the same time. I know he was the son of Edward born in the town in 1678 who was the son of Thomas, but there's no record of Thomas' birth.

When I tried to pull up marriages for Tiverton in the parish church prior to 1740 I wasn't able to pull up any records. Refering back to Bampfylde, or a Thomas Worth born in 1729 or a John Worth born in 1777 who I believe married an Elizabeth I'd appreciate any marriages for that segment prior to 1740.

Thanks in advance. I appreciate the help

That's awesome! I have to ask you this but where are you finding this? I notice we seem to have the same amount of experience on Rootschat and you seem light years ahead of me.

There seems to be what I'll call a Bangfylde line of Worths in Tiverton and you've just uncovered the beginnings of that which is great and his name is corrected as something that sounds more normal as Bamfylde.

I'm still looking for the William Worth birth record, who married Mary Symonds in 1744 because, unless I'm missing it which is perfectly possible, he's our direct descendant. He obviously wasn't descended from this John but he might have been a son of Edward born in 1678 but maybe that's a stretch. Odd he's not showing up with a christening.

If you have any luck with that particular one it would be awesome. Thanks again. Vivien

Are we assuming this is the same Bamfylde who was christened in Tiverton and had all those brothers and sisters + the twins and then was married in Washfield to Anna? By the way the John Worth and Elizabeth Furrse marriage record you just sent over, did that take place in Washfield or Tiverton?

I looked at the Worths of Washfield on the census from 1841 onwards and those Worths are landowners and wealthy and so I googled the family history too and it's much the same.

The story was passed down by my (Worth) family from Tiverton that they were connected or related to the Washfield Worths and "the family owned land." This is why I'm trying to work out what the connection was. Hence wondering where my William was christened. Bamfylde might have been his uncle?

Thank you for looking. Isn't that strange there's no trace of him. Any theories?

Also thanks for the latter day saint tip.
