Does anyone know if Ermington is a big place, whether it would have more than one cemetery. I have a burial for a George Gosling on 29 Apr 1811 and would love to know if there is a headstone with any info.

Thanks.

Thanks malyon, but my George married Joan Elliott in 1751. and had about 11 children. I wish he was married to Judith because there's so many records there ... nothing about George and Joan except for a marriage and some baptisms.

and yet somehow I think Yvonne has all that info, easily found at findmypast

Gosling Ann 1767 — 1767 Devon Baptisms Ermington, Devon, England
Gosling Anne 1753 — 1753 Devon Baptisms Ermington, Devon, England
Gosling Edward 1765 — 1765 Devon Baptisms Ermington, Devon, England
Gosling Joan 1757 — 1757 Devon Baptisms Ermington, Devon, England
Gosling John 1759 — 1759 Devon Baptisms Ermington, Devon, England
Gosling Richard 1761 — 1761 Devon Baptisms Ermington, Devon, England
Gosling Robertt 1763 — 1763 Devon Baptisms Ermington, Devon, England


It's surprising there isn't a George in there ... I wonder whether the George who married Judith actually was a son?

actually he probably was a son

First name(s) George
Last name Goslee
Birth year 1755
Birth date ? ? 1755
Baptism year 1755
Baptism date 23 Mar 1755
Denomination Anglican
Place Holbeton
Father's first name(s) George
Mother's first name(s) -
Mother's last name -
County Devon

image says: son of George Goslee **of the parish of Ermington**

for some reason away from home parish and illiterate as everyone was, and the local vicar didn't know the standard spelling of the name

in case you didn't have him :-)

Thanks everyone, this certainly has given me something to think about. I hadn't seen the reference to Joan Gosling born in 1728 ... possibly a sister to George ... definitely worth trying to follow up.
George is a definite brick wall.

Thanks.

i think the joan gosling death 1816 i posted is the joan ellet spelt different to elliot
if her father was robert and she named her son robert could be her

I'm not sure about Joan, the area doesn't seem right.

So we've been around the mulberry bush, again.

per

question


I'm a little curious whether Yvonne had the 'George Goslee' baptism before ...


by the way, Devon parish records are held at the Devon Heritage Centre with some other scattered locations

http://www.devon.gov.uk/parish_registers.htm

and indexes can be accessed through the Devon Family History Society

http://www.devonfhs.org.uk/

which has a strange and wonderful way of distributing info for a fee:

http://www.devonfhs.org.uk/indexes.htm

but I believe those records are now accessible at findmypast, although I am not sure how complete those are.
