Matthew Locke 1540

You are right all that I have is what is auto generated from Ancestry and copied from other trees. I haven't found any wills or other documentation.

[Watson]

I agree with Little Nell.  Before oldhippie relies on information, sources in contemporary records are needed.

[oldhippy]

Where do you suggest I look? I don't drive or have a car and I live not far from Dartmoor Devon.

[Watson]

What are you trying to achieve with your research, oldhippie?

[oldhippy]

Finding out who are my ancestors on my late mum and dads side. This is my main hobby and it has taken me about 18 years to have got to this present stage, so I would like to keep at it. My goal is to complete it but I don't expect I ever will. Any type of info for my tree and its ancestors is to me interesting.   

[Watson]

Are you descended from a son or daughter of the marriage of Matthew Locke and Catherine Seymour?  If so, could you post a note of his/her baptism record?  And could you post a note of that marriage?

[oldhippy]

No. He is just part of my tree. This is how far apart we are. This is Ancestries calculation.

Thanks for the reply.  I was trying to discover what facts you have already established, with a possible view to helping you, but your methods seem different to what I'm used to, so I'd better retire.  Perhaps someone else can help you.

[oldhippy]

If  I may ask what methods do you use.
