Searching for Pasmore

[Debbie]

I am searching for the family of my ggg grandmother Rebecca Pasmore who was born in 1802 in Warfield Berkshire. Her father was Peter, born abt 1776, also in Berkshire. Her mother was Mary Tucker born in Devon abt 1786 (I think).

Thanks
Debbie

Have you looked on the IGI? There are baptisms for Rebecca 1802, Mary 1805 and Peter 1807.

Plus the marriage for Peter and Mary.

[Debbie]

Yes thanks. But I can't get back any further with Peter.

Hi Debbie

Welcome to FTF

Do you have access to Ancestry.co.uk at all? There is a public member tree on there that has a Rebecca Pasmore which could be the same as yours, born in Warfield Berks & married to a Francis Desse.

Have you looked at the marriage record in the Parish Records for Peter & Mary? If he was from another Parish it might tell you.

If you are struggling to find his birth, it is probably going to mean searching through the neighbouring villages/towns & their Parish Records until you find him.

[Debbie]

Yes thanks. I can't seem to getting any further back with Peter.

[Debbie]

Yes that's my tree. It took me forever to find Rebecca's last name, and then I could only go back to her father. Very frustrating.

Are you sure he was born in Berkshire?

There are a few Peter Pasmores on Ancestry in 1841, all living in Devon or Somerset, & all born down there.

I guess you got Peter's birthplace in Berkshire from the census, but have you seen this?

from IGI

PETER PASMORE
Christening: 28 DEC 1775 Northam, Devon, England
Parents: RICHARD PASMORE & MARGARET
Source Information: Batch No.: C051901

Lol Nell I was just about to post that one too!! It's pretty close to Exeter isn't it?

I think you should check the marriage between Mary Tucker & Peter Pasmore just in case Northam parish is mentioned.
