Thread: Brickwall with George deVall Rugeley

Hi



I have hit a brickwall with my gt. grandfather x5 George deVall I can't find his birth i know he was born in Rugeley he was born around 1786 i have got this from the 1841 census. He was a Hatter and i have been in touch with someone else researching the deValls from Rugeley who were also Hatters i believe he must belong to these deValls but i don't know where i have found many of his possible brothers and sisters and also parents but i cant find him anywhere he is not on the parish registers as far as i know as another decendent had a look she said parts of it were so faded it was hard to see anything. I know he was married twice his second wife was a Sarah Harvey they married 7 may 1832 west bromwich and had two children Sarah and Martha i can track him from here but i also know he had a son John to his first wife i cant find Johns birth i know it is about 1816 i have everything else about him i think Johns mother was called Mary Rhodes as i have a marriage for Mary Rhodes and George deVall 11 may 1813 Sedgeley and i know John married in Sedgeley himself so maybe that was where he was brought up.



Any help would be great as i would love tolink George up with the other Rugeley deValls



Thanks Louise

Hi Tralena



Thanks for the link i have had a quick look and it looks interesting i will have a more thorough look as i am really interested in where my ancestors came from.



Thanks again Louise

I've been having a look around the websites, but not come across any more than you already know.



Maybe some one else on Ancestry Aid could have a rummage around for you.



More eyes the better.



Good luck with your search.



Kind Regards

You probably know that the Rugely registers for that period are in the IGI. The batch number is C010214 . They give several different spellings, but there does not appear to be a George:-

HIs name could be mistranscribed of course but I wondered if perhaps he was non conformist? I had a quick look on the on line non conformist registers but no joy. It might be worth contacting the Stafford Record Office to see if there are any Bishops Transcripts that may have more information. There website link is http://www.staffordshire.gov.uk/leisure/archives/



Best wishes.

Hi Somerset3



Thanks for the link i will certainly try that and hopefully get somewhere.

I had seen all the deValls on the IGI do they get the information from the parish registers i am a bit unsure but someone else looking for my George went to the archives and looked for him she said that a lot of it was so faded it was unreadable so i was unsure if he was there but his bit was faded i also wondered if maybe George was his middle name and he used that as i have a few other annoying ancestors who done that lol. It is so annoying i can find him in trade directories and from his second marriage onwards i will get there eventually.



Thanks again Louise
