Both the filmed Tiverton baptisms and marriages only go up to 1812 I think.Shooting Parrotshttp://shootingparrots.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169036.post-52672700375108817152011-10-12T21:25:46.253+01:002011-10-12T21:25:46.253+01:00No, I sent for the marriage certificate with only ...No, I sent for the marriage certificate with only Frances's first name and it came back as Tapscott.

That was one of the names I tried but couldn't get anything for Frances Gateland, but I will keep going. <br />John, yes, it is my father's maternal line that I am focusing on at the moment and it's proving to be very addictive. Housework is going to the wall! Try looking at Ancestry,co.uk, where you can get 2 weeks free trial and there is quite a lot of help there about searching records.Jennytchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13621488409334115930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169036.post-37538042840881902262011-10-12T11:35:56.981+01:002011-10-12T11:35:56.981+01:00As someone who spent his entire working life porin...As someone who spent his entire working life poring over other people's handwriting, I'm going to stick my neck out and say that the surname you are looking for is Gateland. The National Trust used to do historical surname distribution maps and though most of England was white for Gateland, there certainly was a significant concentration of Gatelands in Devon.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169036.post-2342223230616285182011-10-12T10:34:30.646+01:002011-10-12T10:34:30.646+01:00Hi Jennyta,
