It seems that the Plymouth and West Devon Record Office might be getting a new home. The full story can be read in the Plymouth Herald.

My earlier email should also have included the surname HOLWAY.  Sidney HOLWAY married Mary Jane BIDGOOD in 1912.  I have only just started research on the BIDGOOD line.

Maureen Selley (Chairman Devon FHS) and Todd Gray (Chairman Friends of Devon Archives) attended the Record Office consultation meetings in April. Notes from the meetings are now available online. The comments from users have had a positive impact. You can read more on the DFHS noticeboard:

Hi Dianne, You might like to encourage your friend to register the Goldsworthy/Golesworthy one-name study with the Guild of One-Name Studies:

http://www.one-name.org

This will ensure that 40 years of hard work is not lost as the Guild is able to archive digital material in its library.

Dianne, well done for getting the the help you need, but do keep an open mind about spellings, they are never consistent, the clerks and scribes  wrote phonetically and the name can even be written in various ways in the same document.

Hi everyone, Thanks in large part to suggestions of other members back when I joined Genealogy Wise last year, I believe I broke one of my brick walls to locate a family in Hartland, Devon before their immigration to Canada in the 1800s. If I have found the right family (I'm about 95% sure so far), the older children had already moved out and settled in Devon by the time the parents took the younger children to Canada, meaning I've cousins that at least used to be in Devon (no idea if they still are!). This is the family of Joseph Evans and Grace Bray. I'll put more info about the family I am tracing into a post so it won't scroll so quickly and will be easier for people to find.
