Parish Register Entries (Note: Before 1752 New Year’s Day fell on March 25th. In these lists, if the year is given with a / (eg 1721/2) it indicates that the year was 1721 by the old reckoning and 1722 by the new. The register dates given are for those which have actually been consulted. Other registers may also be available. The International Genealogical Index is largely derived from copy registers rather than from the original registers. In most cases it covers only baptisms and marriages and finishes at 1812. The copy registers are those of the Devon and Cornwall Record Society, housed in the West Country Studies Library at Exeter, unless otherwise indicated. Barum denotes the Athenaeum at Barnstaple. ) ALDERSHOT (Hants) St Michael (International Genealogical Index ) Marriages 27 Dec 1863 Robert Summerville & Mary Couchman 12 Jun 1866 Robert Somerville & Louisa Sanderson ALPHINGTON (International Genealogical Index ) Baptism 1 Feb 1829 Mary Ann Somerville dau of John & Elizabeth ALVERSTOKE (Hants) (International Genealogical Index ) Baptisms 5 Oct 1817 James Lessley Son of John & Jane Sommerville 5 Oct 1817 William Rodger Brown Son of John & Jane Sommerville 20 Feb 1820 Harriet Gray Dau of John & Jane Summerville 28 Mar 1823 Stephen Cooper Son of John & Jane Sommerville Marriages 20 Jul 1807 Philip Somerville & Sarah Nokes 19 Jul 1817 Diana Boyleson Somerville & William Burney 31 Jul 1826 John Sommerville & Sophia Parker ARLINGTON (Copy register: 1598-1850) Baptism 23 Jun 1849 Susan Sommerwille dau of Charles, labourer, and Grace ASHFORD (Parish register: 1710-1812; copy register: 1812-1964) Baptisms 19 Jan 1823 Elizabeth Sommerville dau of William & Mary, Ashford, labourer 1 Jul 1827 William Somerfield son of William & Mary, Ashford, labourer 13 Nov 1842 John Somerfield son of John & Mary Anne, Ashford, labourer 8 Jun 1845 Mary Somerfield dau of John & Mary Anne, Pilton, labourer 16 Jun 1850 James Somerfield son of John & Mary Anne, Pilton, labourer 21 Nov 1852 Thomas Somerfield son of John & Mary Anne, Pilton, labourer Marriages 20 Sep 1814 William Somerfield, Ashford, bachelor, & Mary Crocombe, Ashford, spinster (witness: John Somerfield; parent: John Somerfield) 25 Dec 1838 Samuel Summerwill, Barnstaple, bachelor, carpenter, (parent: Thos.

    Barnstaple U3A Geology Group – Activities in 2019

    Barnstaple U3A Geology Group – activities in 2019 Talks 11th January - AGM; followed by David Dickinson: “Coal, Where would we be without it?” The industrial revolution which began in England during the 18th Century was made possible by this country’s ample coal deposits. The conversion of carbon into heat allowed us to exploit iron ore deposits, construct steel structures and harness steam power. 8th February – Emeritus Prof Chris King: ”Volcano in the Mendips – would we survive?” With excellent practical demonstrations throughout, Chris illustrated the evidence for 425 yr old volcanoes in the Mendips. He outlined the different categories of volcanic eruption that can occur and said that those that took place in the Mendips were similar to that of Mt St Helens in 1980, i.e. explosive. So too were the Tintagel volcanoes in the Carboniferous. 8th March – Dr Danny Clarke-Lowes: “Libyan Geology – looking for oil”: Libya culturally is divided into two parts by the Gulf of Sirt. The present impasse over ownership of Libya’s oil stems from this divide. The largest oil fields lie in the otherwise deserted Sirt Basin (an extensional oil province similar in many ways and scale to the North Sea but predominantly with Cretaceous reservoirs rather than Jurassic), positioned inland from the Gulf of Sirt. 12th April – Dr Stan Coates: “Geology and mineral resources of Afghanistan.” Stan introduced us to the geology and mineral resources of Afghanistan and explained the difficulties in carrying out fieldwork in this area and of working and living in Kabul. 10th May – Jan Robertson: “Have some Madeira, M’Dear” - an alcohol-free look at the island of Madeira (but with appropriate cake).

It has been working hard to address the shortage of affordable housing within a predominantly rural area. The area covered by the project displays an extreme disparity between incomes and house prices, which makes it hard for many to gain any secure footing within the housing market. The Rural Housing Project is designed to help promote and deliver affordable rural housing strategically across the project area and helps deliver Exmoor National Park housing policies within the park. This is being achieved by helping educate people about affordable rural housing, providing help and advice, carrying out research at a parish level to assess the affordable housing need and bringing together the community and various partners to help deliver housing where it is needed. One of the tasks for the project is to work with the Parish Council and the local community to assist them in carrying out a Housing Needs Survey in order to identify whether there is a need

    The Devon Trafalgar Roll

    THE DEVON TRAFALGAR ROLL Extracted from the Ayshford Complete Trafalgar Roll with the kind permission of Pamela and Derek Ayshford. Further details are available at www.ageofnelson.org/ Presented by the Exeter Flotilla on the occasion of the Trafalgar Day Service held on the bicentenary of the battle. INTRODUCTION TO THE DEVON TRAFALGAR ROLL On the 19th October 1805 the combined fleet of France and Spain was observed to be sailing from Cadiz. News that the enemy fleet was at sea was relayed to the Commander in Chief of the British fleet, Vice Admiral Lord Nelson, and to intercept it his fleet sailed for the Straits of Gibraltar. On the eve of battle Nelson prayed: - May the great God, whom I worship, grant my country, and for the benefit of Europe in general a great and glorious victory; and may no misconduct in anyone tarnish it; and may humanity after victory be the predominant feature in the British Fleet. For myself, individually, I commit my life to him that made me, and may his blessings alight my endeavours for serving my Country faithfully. To him I resign myself and the just cause which is entrusted me to defend. Amen. Amen. Amen. When the fleets met off Cape Trafalgar on the morning of the 21st the British formed two columns and, in light westerly airs, set an easterly course to close. The van was led by Nelson’s flagship HMS Victory and the rear column by Vice Admiral Lord Collingwood’s flagship HMS Royal Sovereign. The combined fleet of 33 sail of the line, commanded by Admiral Villeneuve in Bucentaure, wore round and reached back to the north.
