i have been unable to trace my Gt Gt gt grandparents marriage being Charles Vickery born approx 1819 in ? to Eliza Lancombe born ? They had 3 children that I know of being George Vickery 1849, Annie Maltilda 1853, John Vickery in 1860 both born in Paddington, London. As I have tried various avenues in trying to locate marriage certificate via Charels Vickery to no avail, ) The family does not appear on 1851 or 1861 census either) I was wondering about Eliza's origins. There are only 2 LANCOMBES on Free Bmd and 6 on this site so its quite a rare name. would anyone know where the name LANCOMBE originates from. Many Vickerys stem from the Devon area so I was wondering whether Lancombe may originate from the same area or nearby. I would be so grateful of any advice or ideas or this one!!!!! Thank you. |

a George Lancum married at Paddington 29 Feb 1852. Possible brother? George came from Northants, according to the 1861 census, which seems to be where most of them came from. |

Bet you any money you like it was originally LANGHOLM (also spelt LANGHAM etc). And just to hedge my bet, is/was there a place called Lancombe anywhere, anyone? Old Crone |

Nothing listed on Parloc for Lancombe. How about a French connection with the toiletries company Lancome? Brenda |

It does strike me that 'Combe' is a word often used in Devon for a bay, isnt it? |

Just out of interest, try googling Lancombe, Devon, quite a lot of entries come up |
