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.

Just found the marriage of a Devon ancestor in the Cornwall OPC online listings - did a search in Mocavo for the surname, and there she was. I'd never have thought to look at the Cornwall OPC. Now have her marriage, and her daughter. Unusual to get married outside the brides parish - maybe she was working there, as she was 21.

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.

A member of another branch of the Golesworthy family has been doing a one-name study of them for 40 years - and has just sent me a lot of information. :) What a generous person.

I found him - problem is I haven't been able to check if it's a mis-spelling or someone else. I really must move it father up my to-do list.
