Richard and Elizabeth Richards

[DoreenH]

Dear everyone

trying to find the correct parents of John Richards, bapt. 1 Jan 1789 Illfracombe, Devon.
I have father John and mother Sarah Tucker. But other trees have mother as Sarah Brimley.

also trying to find date and place of death of John Richards and his wife Elzabeth Richards nee Drew. Elziabeths bapt, 16 Feb 1783 Frome. Dorset. her father Thomas Drew and mother Mary.

with so many Richards, its sometimes hard to find the right one.

John and Elizabeth married 3 Aug 1908 Illfracombe, devon.
I have children:
John born 1811, Margaret born 1814 and Richard Dallin born 1817.
thanking you
Doreenh

Transcript
First Name - Jno; Last Name - Richards; Baptism Date - 1 Jan 1789; Baptism place - Ilfracombe; Denomination - Anglican; Father's first name - Jno; Mother's first name - Sarah

The image of the 18 May 1888 is available on FMP and has been transcribed as John Richard (no "s" - tho' it's clearly there) and Ann Fricker (the "T" in Sarah's last name is rather flowery where she is described as " of the Parish of Ilfracombe" and can be taken as an "F", but where she makes her mark/signs it looks more like "Tucker".

FMP has two other entries - transcripts only - which read John Richards and Sarah Tucker.

Re. marriage register entry, forgot to mention there was only one witness, a "Nath'l Harris". He appears as a signatory on 6 of the 8 marriage entries that follow John and Sarah - so no help there.
