Help with online Devon research
« on: Saturday 14 August 04 16:12 BST (UK) »
I'm having quite a lot of trouble researching my Devon ancestors online.  I've probably been quite spoilt with other lines in my tree as most of my ancestors come from Cornwall and there are loads of sites covering the county online.

I'm currently trying to trace George Hamley and Ann Rundall.  They were born in Devon and had a child called Jane Hamley (b.1799), who married Samuel Kellaway (b.1795, Lamerton).  It's proving almost impossible.

If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.  Thanks!  :)
Cornwall - Cook, Cowl(e), La(u)nce, Arthur, Honey, Stephens, Welch, Handcock, Holland.  Devon - Frost, Spray, Kellaway, Hamley.  Wales (Carmarthenshire) - Evans. Hertfordshire/Essex - Cakebread. Surrey/Sheffield - Grayson.
