Bastow - Bovey Tracy - Totnes

[KDNJ]

Hi there,

Looking for any info on Richard Bastow, reportedly born about 1713 in Bovey Tracey or Totnes.

The only Richard I can find was born at Morehampstead in 1711.

I can't seem to find any online access to the original parish registers either.

Ancestry only points me in the direction of Geneanet and other family trees have no creditable sources.

Any help or direction would be marvelous.

Thanks in advance

Karen

Hi
I'd go for the Humphrey and Sydwell Bastow.
Sydwell buried Bridford 4.1.1742 Humphrey buried 6.11.1749 at Bridford.
It's here a Richard Bastow married a Amy Tuckett  16.1.1736

Children at Bovey Tracey
Child 1747
Stephen 1749
William 1752
but marriages Amy married Philip Heaward 6.7.1759 wit Richard Bastow
Anne 24.11.1761 married Robert Woodrough wit Richard Bastow

Also Stephen Bastow is the name of Humphrey's father.

What do you think?
