FOOT/DRAKE - Bere Ferrers

[Barbara Wilkinson]

Looking for information about Christopher Foot, believed to have baptised 14 May 1743 in Bere Ferrers, who married Elizabeth Drake on 1 February 1773. They appear to have had at least 10 children.

If anyone has information about Christopher or Elizabeth, I would love to hear!

A while since I first posted this query - and I am hoping that some new Devon researchers may have joined!!! I also have a little more information which might help anyone with access to the Devon records - or better yet, these people in their own families!

Christopher Foot appears to have been the son of Christopher and Mary Foot. I had a very brief visit to the record office in Devon, but could not find any trace of a marriage between Christopher and Mary. They do, though, appear to have had other children - Grace, bapt 15 July 1747, Mary, bapt 3 Oct 1749.

Elizabeth Drake appears to be the daughter of John Drake and Mary Furman/Surman - the image was not clear. They married 7 Sept 1746 in Bere Ferres.

If anyone has access to the records, or recognises a name from their own researches, I would be grateful for any information!

Many thanks!
