Yeampton Parish records 1700's -Can anybody help with this?
« on: Wednesday 18 March 15 16:40 GMT (UK) »
 Hi
According to England Select Births and Yealmpton Parish records on IGI Devon.

Richaurd Pengilley was Baptised 24 Nov 1710 and sadly died 21 Feb 1711 his/her parents were Henry and Richaurd Pengilley.

There are a another 4 children born in that period in Yealmpton to a Henry Pengilley sadly only one has the wife's name and that is for Samuell, Baptised 7 Feb 1720 to Henry and a Richord. (England Births & Christenings)

Is there anyone out there who has access to the records who can decipher what Henry's wife was called.
Thanks for reading

Ppen,
Sorry I don't have access to the records but certainly Richord is a recognised female name.

FindMyPast has the marriage (transcription only) of a Richard Pengilly to a Richord Gee at Newton Ferrers, 16 Feb 1703

Have had a look at the image of the baptism on FindMyPast and it looks like "Richord" - although it has been transcribed "Father's Name  = Henry Richard" by FindMyPast. But the "Henry" and "Richord" are separated by the symbol, common to other couples on the page, that represents "and"

Thankyou -Peter. That is something I never knew or have ever come across.
 I am not the only one as Googling ;Richord did not  get one hit,and there are quite a few people on Babies Name sites  asking for a female version of Richard and nobody has mentioned Richord
so it seems to have died out quite a while ago .

 and Thankyou -hanes teulu ,for your FindMyPast information which I have now found on Ancestry along with Richord Gee (female) baptised 7 Nov 1679 Newton Ferrers to Nicholas and Ann Gee,correct dates and location for a good match as the same person.

p.s Googling Richord Gee brings up "do you mean Richard Gere?"

Thanks again
Paul
