Elizabeth, daughter of Chardstock clockmaker John Michell (1669-1733)
« on: Thursday 15 August 19 04:08 BST (UK) »
Hi, I am related through my paternal grandmother to John Michell's youngest daughter Anne (1706-1744), who eloped with the vicar's son Thomas Drayton (1705-1778) and married in Dorchester. This query is about Anne's sister Elizabeth. She was baptised at St Andrew's, Chardstock, on 4 Aug 1702. When her father made his will in 1732 Elizabeth was single but by the time it was proved in 1733 she had married John Roundsevell (Rounsevell). I'd like to know more about her husband because I am related to the Cornwall Rounsevells through my paternal grandfather. I found Elizabeth's baptism OK but can't find their marriage (which is not in the Chardstock OPC material). Elizabeth, Anne and her husband Thomas are buried together at Chardstock, but John Rounsevell is not there. Any information, on the Rounsevell-Michell marriage or anything else about John Rounsevell would be greatly appreciated. Geoff Turner (Brisbane, Australia)

Thanks Solidrock, I had seen the Brian Loomes info, very informative about the family as well as the clocks. I had also seen the Wyke-Regis baptism but wasn't sure that was him. It does seem more likely than one in 1705 at Ottery St Mary that I have seen suggested, given Elizabeth was apparently born in 1701 and baptised in 1702. I find it unusual that they were apparently not married at Chardstock given the family was so well established there.
