    Default Three Sarah Symons!

    I have come across three Sarah Symons who were all born to Henry & Sarah in Stoke Damerel, Devon.

    SARAH SYMONDS
    Gender: Female Christening: 19 JUN 1753 Stoke Damerel, Devon, England

    SARAH SYMONS
    Gender: Female Christening: 06 SEP 1761 Stoke Damerel, Devon, England

    SARAH BLIGH SYMONS
    Gender: Female Christening: 30 DEC 1762 Stoke Damerel, Devon, England

    The problem is that I cannot find death records for the first two Sarahs so I'm not sure if they are all have the same parents.

    Sorry Robin, at this point in time you really need to obtain the Parish Records to track the families.
    You would need to check the marriages as there may be more than one Henry,
    Henry a son of .... and Henry a son of .... (cousins) that both married a Sarah somebody and both named a daughter Sarah.

    http://genuki.cs.ncl.ac.uk/DEV/StokeDamerel/ may help to find where some of the old records are regarding deaths and burials.
    Have you checked what Parish Chest has to offer?

    I doubt very much if we will find them in the 1841 census and Family Search on-line is limited when trying to research complete family lines.

    Mine's a Nut Tree!

    The Devon Family History Society have produced useful transcripts of parish registers. The earliest one for Stoke Damerel seems to be 1754-1765, which might be useful.

    That might be fortunate as when I looked at records on Familysearch, it seems that the Damerell family moved to Stoke Damerel from Shaugh Prior at roughly that time.

    I have ordered the parish records for Shaugh Prior but am a bit stuck with the Stoke Damerel records as the website I ordered a booklet from only has them in periods of 5 years at a time for £3 a go.
