LEY family Barnstaple, Devon

[suzanne2812]

Hi Guys. I am helping someone out trying to find relatives so he can start his tree. I'm starting with Ernest 'George' Ley b1905 who married Doris Irene Stevens b1911 in 1936 in the Barnstaple area. I believe they were from farming family in North Devon & as there are so many Ley's I want to make sure I have the correct family before I go ahead.

Many thanks in advance. Suz x

Hi

Rootschat has a "no living persons" policy so the details of the persons above need to be removed as they could still be alive

I can't delete it, but I have modified it. I've posted for years & never knew this. Is it ok now? Suz x

Hi

Yes - that's fine now.   Probably all your other posts were relating to deceased people so you would not have known.  It's to protect people's privacy and also to prevent identity fraud

I believe his wife died in St Austell area in 1971. That's the area he was looking in. I think they moved from Devon to Cornwall & now back again

Hi. I'm trying to get him to order a marriage certificate, but he's not computer savvy & the other side of Devon from me! Ancestry is free this weekend & I might have a look to see what I can find. Sometimes I'm just too kind, he was looking for help from the farming community & I suggested sites/places to look. He really could do with someone like me closer to him to sit & run through it all! It as easy when the kids were small as I had so much time when the napped, but I work now & am too busy really. One day I'll retire & move into a Family research centre lol.
Thanks Suzanne x
