Hi Listers
I am new to the list and would like to make contact with anyone researching
a HARCOMBE family in particular that of a
JAMES GOODLAND HARCOMBE.
I would very much like to locate him on the 1861 census where he would still
have been living with his parents
He is registered on the 1871 census for Northtawton, Devon
Place of Residence 33 Broadnymett Moor
James Harcombe 22 head br. North Wales occupation Railway Lab.
Selina Harcombe 26 wife br. North Tawton
John William Harcombe 4 son br. North Tawton
James Harcombe 2 son br. North Tawton
He married his wife Selina Linscott c. Dec 1866 Okehampton, Devon where
Selina'a parents were from
James was the son of John Ridge HARCOMBE and Sarah GOODLAND of Somerset
going by the GRO BMD I found two entries of birth's for a James Harcombe
the one being
Jun 1847 Chepstow
Dec 1848 Langport
While I know that neither of the above locations is North Wales just maybe
he was actually born in South Wales
I would be most grateful of any advise in locating this family
