      <description>Thank you Paula,&lt;br&gt;I didn't have Elizabeth Rookes Slocombe b. 1802 on my tree before your note....perhaps William Reed is her son. That would explain two living Wiliam Slocombe's living with Elizabeth Slocombe Beal in 1841. &lt;br&gt;And yes I believe we are related. Will try to contact you through Ancestry messages rather than the Board.&lt;br&gt;Christine</description>

      <description>Hi Christine, this is a bit of a mystery, eh?  I have now found the marriage of my Rosina L R Slocombe to Thomas James Hanson, so the best thing for me to do is get that certificate and see what it says about her father, that would help with clues.  I shall do a bit of digging over the next couple of days and see what I can find.  Would love to know more about your side, as we are related somehow!  &lt;br&gt;Thanks Paula</description>

      <description>&lt;br&gt;The more I think about it, I believe that the John Laddy Slocombe born Feb 13 1820 to John &amp;amp; Elizabeth was really William Laddy Slocombe. The Clerk could easily have made an error. In '41, '51, and '61 William Laddy Slocombe was listed as having been born 1819, 1820 &amp;amp; 1822, which would fit regarding age. William Laddy Slocombe began his career as a butcher but later became a painter and died in Pancras 1869, coincidentally the same year as your ancestor John Laddy Slocombe died.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;On my tree I had your John Slocombe as being born about 1814 christened Mar 13 Heavitree to John &amp;amp; Elizabeth (Rookes) Slocombe.  I also have not found a marriage record for John &amp;amp; Mary Ann (possibly Brewer)Slocombe. As their oldest was Elizabeth born 1834 I imagine that they were married around 1833 putting them at 19 &amp;amp; 17 years of age.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My second Ggrandfather was William Reed Slocombe born to Elizabeth Slocombe and baptized Feb. 1 1826 in Heavitree. &lt;br&gt;He was a Tailor like John but stayed in St. Sidwell Exeter before moving to Honiton where my GGrandfather went to school. He "retired" to Weeke Hampshire where he died in 1881. I would love to know where the Reed fit in. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I have not found any mention of John Laddy Slocombe Sr's death so it is difficult to say whether he is an ancestor of mine or not. In any case I am tied to the Slocombe family through Elizabeth Rookes Slocombe.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My tree is not on line but I would be pleased to share what I have with you if you are interested.&lt;br&gt;Christine&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

      <description>Yes it would - do you have a birth date for William Laddy Slocombe?  I have a birth date of 13/2/1820 Heavitree for John Laddy Slocombe (who I believe to be the father of my 3xGreat-Nan).  In 1841 he is married to Mary Ann (surname belived to be Brewer due to Brewer nieces and nephews living with my Rosina later in life) and living in Clifton Street, Exeter (Tailor) with their children: Rosina &amp;amp; Frances Cooley B. Slocombe.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In 1851 they are at 7 Dufours Place, Westminster (Tailor) with their children: Rosina, Frances &amp;amp; John (who was b.1842 Exeter).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In 1861 they are at 8 Youngs Buildings, Cripplegate, London (Tailor)(this is the same address my Great-Grandad was born in 1864) with Frances Cooley B, Elizabeth (b.1834 Exeter) &amp;amp; John.  I don't know where this Elizabeth was in 1841 &amp;amp; 1851, perhaps if we can find out she may have been living with relatives.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Looking of the IGI Index for Heavitree &amp;amp; Exeter for around that period and we have children born to a John &amp;amp; Elizabeth Slocombe:&lt;br&gt;Elizabeth Rookes Slocombe c.1802 Exeter&lt;br&gt;John Slocombe c.1803 St. Sidwell&lt;br&gt;Mary Slocombe c.1804 St. Sidwell&lt;br&gt;John Slocombe c.1812 Heavitree&lt;br&gt;Silvester Rookes Slocombe c.1816 St. Sidwell&lt;br&gt;Susanna Maria Slocombe c.1818 Heavitree&lt;br&gt;John Liddey(Laddy) Slocombe b.13/2/1820 Heavitree&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Then we have William Laddy Slocombe, son of Elizabeth Slocombe.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I've never found a marriage for John Laddy Slocombe and Mary Ann (possibly Brewer) though.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Definitely need to do some more work on this!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

      <description>Thank you for your reply! It would be nice to bounce a few ideas about this branch of the Slocombes. I do believe that Elizabeth Slocombe nee Rookes is the mother of William Reed, but probably born after her husband John Slocombe died. Whether John Sr. was the father or someone else I can't say. I too have John Slocombe alive to about 1819 as he was mentioned in Silvester Rookes will. The other William in the 1841 census I believe was William Laddy Slocombe who married Susan Marsh in Exeter in 1845 and then moved to London. His birth date is c.1820 Heavitree....the same as John Laddy Slocombe jr. Could this be one in the same person or a twin? I haven't found any other references to John Laddy jr. other than his baptism. Note both Williams had sons named Silvester after their grandfather Rookes?</description>

      <description>Sorry for my long delay in replying ... I think you may be right, my John Laddy Slocombe's parents were John Laddy Slocombe &amp;amp; Elizabeth (nee Rookes) - she was christened 10/5/1708 Broad Clyst - and this fits in with your Elizabeth Beal.  I have John Laddy Slocombe Snr. in records up till 1819, so anything could have happened after he died, so perhaps she had a child with another husband (who died as you say) and then later married Thomas Beal.  Have you found out anything else?</description>

      <description>Hello Elly Thank you for contacting.&lt;br&gt;The only reference in 1901 I can find was for Swanswea Glamorganshire.  This Walter's grandfather was Edward Slocombe (1871 Census) &amp;amp; Walter is lodging in wales in 1891.  I am unsure of your Walter's parents.  I have not got a connection for Edward but I haven't investigated because my side of the family is actually Emily SULLY.  Sorry I cannot be of more help but hope you have some success&lt;br&gt;Regards Jennifer</description>

      <description>Hi there, &lt;br&gt;I have only just started to research my family tree and have come across a Walter George Slocombe that was born in Huntspill in 1863 and had son Walter Anthony Slocombe born 1891. I retrieved that info from the UK 1901 census, when they were living in Swindon, Wlits.&lt;br&gt;They are my Grandfather and Great Grandfather.&lt;br&gt;I hope this is the family that you have been researching and i look forward to hearing back from you&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Elly</description>

      <description>Is anyone still tracing? I have copy of Ilfracombe Parish reg. for marriage of William Slocombe to Mary Ann Balment 21 March 1868. Father named as Peter Slocombe (Peter Furze?). Peter is my gggf born Bideford 1807 m. Elizabeth Rumsan 1831 (born Combe Martin).  Have most info, I think, on siblings but am concentrating on children of William - William Ernest, Herbert, Ida Jane and Lillian Annie.  William Ernest had a son another William Ernest who married twice and emigrated to Victoria Australia. Ida Jane is a mystery as she married Alfred Rendle 1895 and emigrated with daughter 1911 to Florida. Alfred followed 1924. Any info on Ida Jane's time in Florida would be appreciated.</description>

      <description>My grandfather Herbert SLOCOMBE was William Ernest Slocombe's brother. Starting out on family tree. Have ascertained William Ernest b. 1870 married Clara DAVIE in Ilfracombe in 1891 and Mary Jane Joslin in Barnstaple in 1914.Cannot find details of a death for Clara - or maybe they divorced?&lt;br&gt;To double check we have the correct Slocombe: Herbert, William Ernest, Ida Jane, Lillian Annie were siblings, children of William Slocombe and Mary Ann Balment.</description>

      <description>Hi Pat,&lt;br&gt;I have just replied to your e.mail I hope it helps.&lt;br&gt;There seems to be a few of us following the same line as I have past e.mails from Trudy and Ann chamberlain in regards to this matter between us we should be able to build a fair picture or at least iron out any doubts, &lt;br&gt;cheers geoff.</description>

      <description>Thanks for your prompt reply.  At first glance there doesn't seem to be a connection although I have always assumed that my gggrandfather,William Slocombe,came from the family of a William Slocombe who married a Jane Furze in Ilfracombe in 1775.  However, I notice from the message board that Geoff Slocombe also claims this family as his even though his descendant,William Slocombe,seems to be a totally different person!  I will have to contact him and see which one of us is on the wrong track! That original Ilfracombe marriage may prove to be a link point though.&lt;br&gt;Pat</description>

      <description>Hi Pat,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is what I have, so far: Note, Ilfracombe comes under Barnstaple registration District.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thomas Slocombe bc1803 Ilfracombe dc 1866 Ilfracombe. he married about 1837 to a Mary Jane Stevens bc 1819 Wiveliscombe. Mary Jane died in Newton Abbott in 1893. The above couple appear in the 1861 census in Ilfracombe / Barnstaple: 1861 census RG9  Piece 1492 Folio 133 Pg 14 "Collybridge"&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They had at least one child, a daughter, also named Mary Jane bc 1838 in Ilfracombe. In 1865 Mary Jane married a Thomas Haynes (bc 1841 Ilfracombe). They had 14 children born between 1866 and 1890 all born in Newton Abbott.  Thomas died in 1912 and Mary Jane in 1913.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The census returns for 1871,1881 and 1891 show them living in Wolborough, Newton Abbott.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I would like to get back further on the Slocombe line in Ilfracombe. Thomas in on the IGI but there are two possible marriages in Ilfracombe that could be his parents so I'll have to do more investigating on that one.</description>

      <description>Hi Trudy,&lt;br&gt;You may remember we had some correspondence via the message board last year about John Slocombe.  You mentioned that you are descended from the Welsh branch of the family.  Could you let me have some details of this side of the family after John Slocombe moved to Wales to become an engine driver?  I have the census entries for 1881, 1891 and 1901 with his children, William, Frederick, Henry, George and Percy, all in Llangeinor, Glamorgan, but then I have nothing more up-to-date.  As we must be sort of cousins it would be interesting to know how it all fits together. If you want to e-mail me direct please do so on &lt;a href="mailto://patmockler@sky.com"&gt;patmockler@sky.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;Pat</description>

      <description>Hi Frank,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You ask if the Slocombes of Bideford are related to the Slocombes of Barnstaple.  Could be, but I do not know of any connection from my records.  My ancestor,William, was born in Bideford but then moved to Hatherleigh where he married Ann Jones and, as far as I know, had no further connection with Bideford.  His parents were William Slocombe and Ann Fryer and his grandparents were another William Slocombe and Jane Furze. He had at least four siblings, Mary Ann, Peter Furze, John and Jane but I don't know what happened to them.  If you find a connection, I'd be grateful if you could let me know as I've come to a bit of a full stop with this side of the family.&lt;br&gt;Pat</description>

      <description>This may be a bit late getting into the conversation....but I believe that I may be a descendent of Elizabeth Rooks. An Elizabeth Slocombe of Heavitree had a child William Reed Slocombe abt 1825. The father was not listed but this could be because he died. When checking IGI the same John Slocombe comes up with Elizabeth Batch C050001 and the children listed in the posts including William Reed Slocombe. &lt;br&gt;My thought was that Elizabeth Slocombe married again but to Thomas Beal in 1829. Two William Slocombes (Laddy &amp;amp; Reed)lived with them in 1841. In 1851 Elizabeth Beal then age 70 (which would be the age of Elizabeth Rooks)was living in St. Sidwells Exeter with a much younger husband Thomas Beal. &lt;br&gt;I have gone back to about 1700 on the Rooks side. Do you have anything else?   Also I would like to know where Reed fits in. Thank you CPG</description>

      <link>http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/surnames.slocombe/38/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>Hi &lt;br&gt;i was wondering if anyone can help me solve a mystery.&lt;br&gt;On the 1891 Census John Slocombe is listed as the father of William Slocombe, James Slocombe and John Slocombe. But then on the 1901 Census the children listed above have the Surname of Edwards instead of Slocombe. Then on the 1911 census it States that 3 of the 9 children born to John and his Wife Matilda are Dead. William, James and John do not appear on the 1911 census but it might just be they have moved out of the family home. But still a mystery why the surname of these children change? If anyone has any thoughts or an answer to this that would be amazing.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks,&lt;br&gt;James</description>

      <description>Ah i see so the children would have taken the Slocombe surname when their mother got married to John but then when they were old enough they changed it back to their Biological fathers name...&lt;br&gt;Im really sorry im not trying to be hard work lol thank you for helping :)</description>

      <description>hi,&lt;br&gt;  The children were born before Matilda married John.Re the marriage ref. I gave you.Now either John was the father and as they were not married the children would be reg. in the mothers surname OR Matilda was married BEFORE to someone called EDWARDS.If you obtain the marriage cert of John and Matilda you can solve the query.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;regards&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sandra&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

I have been writing short family histories for each of my surnames.  If you would like a copy of my Slocombe entry please let me know your e-mail address and I'll send you a copy.  I have got a little further info on the Bideford connection but you might like to have news of the rest of the Slocombe family.

      <description>   Hi again, my mistake for saying John was the eldest, as soon as I had logged off I realised my mistake.All the info you have is a duplicate of mine only one generation between us I think (I was born to another John Slocombe in 1955) Iwould be grateful to find out the Bideford info you have but I know that they descend from William Slocombe who married Jane Furse in Ilfracombe 27 March 1775. It is great to know what happened to Ellen and her sisters because as you know the female side is much harder to find. Hope we can share more info. Yours Trudy Harvey</description>

      <description>In answer to a message about Slocombes.  I have a gggrandfather William Slocombe who moved from Bideford to Hatherleigh to marry Ann Jones.  They had 8 children but John was not the eldest, he was the youngest born 11th April 1846.  His father was widowed in the 1850s and moved to Cornwall where he remarried.  John became a bootmaker, or cordwainer, as did his brother William, and I have him marrying Sarah Cowling at Antony in Cornwall in 1865.  On the certificate he states his age as 22.  But this is definitely him as the 1881 census places him in Wales, with Sarah as his wife and Hatherleigh as his birthplace.  Ellen, his sister, was my ggrandmother.  She was born in 1841, went into service and eventually followed the rest of her sisters to London where she married William Thomas Hook.  If you think this is the same family, I would be pleased to know as I have traced the Slocombes back to Bideford.</description>

      <description>HI to members of the slocombe family. William Slocombe was my ggggfather and his oldest child John was my gggfather. John b1847 was the sister of Ellen Slocombe b1830. John Slocombe married Sarah Cowling from Antony Cornwall and they moved to S.Wales where they had 6 children and so continued the Welsh Slocombes!Any info going back further would be much appreciated.</description>

      <link>http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/surnames.slocombe/37/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>Hello to all!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My Paternal Great-Great Grandfather was Jonas Slocum/Slocombe, born in Wedmore?, Somerset, England in December of 1862, died in Aurelius, Cayuga, New York  in 1942. Jonas married Rose Wilson in October 1883, in Aurelius, Cayuga, New York.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Jonas was the son of John Slocombe and Mary Ann Avery. He was one of atleast 7 children born to John and Mary. Siblings are:&lt;br&gt;John b. 1855 in Somerset, England&lt;br&gt;Sarah Jane b. 1858 in Somerset, England&lt;br&gt;Ellen b. 1860 in Somerset, England; and died in 1862 in Somerset, England&lt;br&gt;Jonas&lt;br&gt;Henry b. 1865 in Somerset, England; and died October 14, 1921 in Brutus, NY&lt;br&gt;Absalom b. 1868 in Somerset, England; and I believe he died in 1883 in Axbridge, Somerset, England&lt;br&gt;Ellen "Nellie" b. June 1870 in Somerset, England&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I know that there is 2 Ellen's, guess they liked that name.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Jonas emmigrated to the US in 1880 alone. He was a popular man in Cayuga County, New York.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Jonas' mother, Mary, and 2 siblings emmigrated to the US in 1885. Mary was a widow. In the 1881 England Census, she was a widow, this is the earliest I have seen where she was widowed. The two other's that emmigrated with Mary were:&lt;br&gt;Henry and Ellen "Nellie".&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I am very interested in their life in Somerset and have not had much success in locating much info on them. Would like to know who John's parents were and any siblings, as well as, for Mary, who I believe her maiden name was Avery.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks,&lt;br&gt;Linda</description>

      <description>You are right -- I made a mistake.  John Slocombe was christened 23 June 1811.  He married Ann Shopland 27 Dec 1838 in Wiveliscombe, Somerset.  John's parents, William and Mary nee' Tunewell Slocombe were married in 1797 in Wiveliscombe. I do not know the parents of William.  I would be very happy to hear if your family is related to any of my family.  If we meet, I will be happy to share.</description>

      <description>Hi&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Do have a look at my tree - most of what I have is on &lt;a href="http://www.genesreunited.co.uk" target="_blank"&gt;www.genesreunited.co.uk&lt;/a&gt;.  Lots of generations before George and Ann, going back to the 1500s!!  Genesreunited is a fab resource - I got lots of Slocombe links on there!  It is a very well researched family</description>

      <description>Hi my direct Ancestor is Willaim Slocombe (born 1811 wiveliscombe) a brother of your Thomas Slocombe, I believe (Parents George &amp;amp; Ann).  Do you have much of the family tree before that that period?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;William Migrated to Australia (which is where I am from) in 1841 - he was a sugar maker. He Married Betsy Willmott Fry&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Martin</description>
