Richard Guest & wife Mary Okehampton Devon
« on: Thursday 24 September 20 02:19 BST (UK) »
I have had help searching my family back to

GUEST, Richard
Wife: Mary

from here I have 4 children for them

Sussanna (Susan)  bapt.  21 Sept. 1766 Okehampton
William                  bapt.  22 March 1772    ""  ""
John                      bapt.  3 Feb 1776          ""  ""
Joanna                  Bapt   24 Aug 1777        ""  ""

my records show Sussanah may have married a John Honeybourn   but as I am trying to revisit the only marriage I can find is a Susan Guest marriage to a John Honeyburn 18 October 1788  the time would seem ok but the place  St John, Clerkenwell Islington England is a long way from Devon... this couple seem to have quite a few children in Portsea

My link is to William Guest  he marries Jane Lovell 23 April 1797 in OKehampton and they have

5 children I have had help finding all in Okehampton

Sussanna Honeyburn Guest   bapt. 28 Oct 1798
Ann Arthur Guest                  bapt. 24 April 1801 died 30 Sept 1872 Meldon (marries Rev James Brooks a Bible Christian Minister in 1842) so I have traced that which is fantastic.
Joanne Seccom (Sissum) Guest  Bapt.  15 Jun 1803 married Nicholas Ellis (Ellice) 21 June 1830 Bratton Clovelly Joaane died 21 June 1849 and is buries in Bratton Clovelly
William Bickle Guest             Bapt. 14 Jan 1806  died abt 1808
William Bickle Guest             Bapt.  19 June 1808  died abt 1878  I can follow William on the census with his sister Ann Arthur

My query would be for perhaps Mary's (Richard's wife) maiden name and any info re the date of their marriage???

and possibly why is Sussana name Sussanna Honeyburn (I was thinking I was on the trail with Aunt marrying a Honeybourn but I think my wires are crossed there now).
 and why 2nd names seem of the children lead me know ie. Arthur, Seccum (Sissom), and Bickle...

Any help would be much appreciated....
