Hi
My GGGG Grandfather George deVall was born in Rugeley in about 1786 he married a Sarah and moved to Dudley where his son John b.1814 and daughter sarah b. 1833 were born. George was a master hatter.
However a few more Rugeley deValls have been brought to my attention and i don't know if there is a connection one is a Mary deVall born 1787 and married a John Hawkins and the other is a Samuel deVall born 1813 who also became a Hatter which i find more than a coincedence as many of my deValls were hatters and had there own business.
any help would be great
Thanks Louise

Hello Louise,
The IGI has an extracted record for a christening of a Samuel DEVOLL (that is how it has been transcribed) on 11 October 1812 in Rugely. He was the son of William and Mary.
Batch No.: C010214
Dates: 1721 - 1812
Source Call No.: 0421585
Type: Film
Printout Call No.: 6900010
Could not see anything for George or Mary, though.

Hi Louise,
When it comes to the vowels, always check for alternatives. Some of the handwriting that is being transcribed can be appalling!
Oh yes, L and S can also be mistranscribed because of loopy bits, not to mention M and W....
Good luck!
