Oh thats brilliant Sue, Im so pleased for you. is it one that can be downloaded? I will push this up in case any others with Devon ancestors strike gold. Wow, this has been a good few days for me and Id had nothing exciting for months and months. Now dont know what to look at first.

Sue, if you go on ancestry and enter his ancestors surname and place and look at the probate and parish records - well, Ive got literally hundreds to go through and def dozens that relate to my Beares. I am amazed.

My gawd, just went to Devon records office website and found they had recent deposited a load of info with A2A. Just looked it has the farm going back to Domesday! Found Thomas Beare and his sister and so MUCH. Will take days to sort this lot out. There are docs on there back to 14th century re the Beare family of Broad Clyst. WOO HOO. Anyone with Devon ancestors, do check out A2A now.

Just wondered as there are so many on here. Thats where I found my Beare family and the farm they owned. In 1625 it was just the farm in 1851 it was called Churchill Farm. Wondered if it still existed.
