WORTH of Tiverton

[DORAN54]

could he have had another name   i.e  john william
and he went by  william it is very strange there's no trace

[vivijune]

I think you may be right- he used his second name. Maybe too many John's in the family or he was the John born in 1708 who was Bamfylde's brother. Mind you that would have made him 37 when he married in 1745.

I found a John Worth born in 1720 who obviously isn't Banfylde's brother but he was born in Tiverton and was son of John.

Thanks again!

i will try and look tomorrow if i have time  ,goodnight

[DORAN54]

still cant find him!!!!!!!

[vivijune]

Thanks for hanging in there with me. Another thought.

Maybe he was an orphan, possibly some kind of relative who's parents died so he was christened with a different last name but had the first name of William. When they adopted him and brought him into the household they changed his last name to theirs?

Also when you pulled up that family that contained Reginald and Bridget and Bamfylde was that from Washfield?

Your other idea from yesterday that he used his middle name might explain it too.

[DORAN54]

no it was worth but i think they are more or less next to each other

[vivijune]

Sorry, do you mean a Worth of Tiverton of Washfield for Reginald and Bamfylde or are you saying they are all blended together in the record you're looking at for Tiverton and Washfield. When I looked up the Parish Records for just Tiverton under family search I didn't see the Bridget and Reginald group which is why I figured they had to be Washfield.

[DORAN54]

on the record for place of birth it has worth devon

if you google the worths of washfield
there are a couple of things that might be if interest to  you

[vivijune]

There are indeed some things of interest including a picture of Worth House, a history of the Worths. Now I understand Worth is Washfield and that's where the church is. Still a tiny village with 400+ people. Now going to read what I've printed out. Also a page on who was christened in the Parish Church and reference to Bamfylde in a will as a brother in law. Great stuff!

Many thanks....
