Devonshire

Hi
I too am searching for Devonshire. My Devonshire came to the US from Enland sometime about 1831. I do not know where they entered the US but know he was living in Robinson, Ill. where he was married to Margaret Higgins in 1864. They moved to Heber Springs, Ark. sometime before 1900. If, in you research, you have run across these names please let me know.

Daniel DENSHIRE/DEVONSHIRE in Ullesthorpe, Leicestershire

MiriamSmith53 — 13 Mar 2007 9:03:57 GMT

I have the will of the above man from 1670 who names various cousins and other people. When his widow Elizabeth died in 1684, her will named some of these same people, plus others. I am trying to find the actual relationship as one of those named was Daniel's cousin, Abraham DEVONSHIRE of Kilsby. Abraham is known to have lived in Kilsby between 1665-1683 at a minimum.
If the names HURST, IZZARD, FREAR, PAINE, GUMLEY from Ullesthorpe and Claybrook areas in the 1600s ring bells, please contact me.

Sarah Jane Isabella Devonshire

Kimberly Wood — 6 Jul 2001 3:48:47 GMT

I am seeking any information on my great-great grandmother, Sarah Jane Isabella Devonshire. The information I have on Sarah Jane is as follows:
She was born May 23, 1875 to James Devonshire and Laura Vincent. Sarah Jane married Albert Henry (or Harry Albert) Pearce, and they had Jessie (born 1895), Laura Hannah (born 1907), and Edward Albert Pearce. To the best of our knowledge, they may have come from around Plymouth, in Devonshire, England, and may have immigrated to Canada. Any information would be helpful as we have only names and few dates to go on at this time. Thanks!

Thomzin Devonshire/George Thomas Wingate

mikehallinan — 13 Jan 2004 9:17:08 GMT

I am seeking information about my GGG Grandparents Thomzin Devonshire and George Thomas Wingate (who rose to the rank of Commander in the Royal Navy) who were married in Portsea, England on 20 FEB 1801.

Shortly after marriage Thomas was a prisoner of war in Verdun, France for a number of years. Thomzin was with him during his captivity and 4 of their children were born in Verdun.

I suspect that Thomzin was born in Demarel, Devon while George Thomas was from Stirling, Scotland.

Any information or possible leads would be most welcome.
