Dascombe family

As On Line Parish Clerk for Bishops Nympton Devon I receive roughly two to three requests a week for information. One of my reasons for proofreading the 900 page Parish Register Transcriptions is to diminish the number of requests for the information contained in those 900 pages of word text or looking at the Excel document there are 7303 baptisms, 1285 marriages, 5794 burials, and 366 banns. First I need to finish proofreading and then I need to seek the permission of the parish priest at Bishops Nympton to publish the file on the Genuki Devon webpages. I  have 75 years of parish records proofread thus far. It is a slow process mostly because I am working on other projects and I can only keep up the proofreading for so long.

The Dascombe family were at Bishops Nympton from the late 1700s to the 1870s and the request for information let me pull out from the excel file (not yet proofread in this time period) the following:

Banns
Dascombe Lewis Mildon Margaret 14 3 1790 21 3 1790 28 3 1790 groom of Twiching

As one can see from the marriages Both of the grooms in the two Dascombe marriages one in 1790 and the other in 1791 were sojourners as was the son of John Dascombe (son of Gregory) when he married in 1826. The family may be of Twitching as the priest has listed the parish for Lewis Dascombe in 1790. The Mildon family has been at Bishops Nympton for considerably longer and does appear on the Protestation Returns of 1641.

I found the baptism of Reuben Dascombe in 1838 to be interesting as his father was farming at Park which was the location of my Robert Pincombe family (3x great grandfather) in the 1810s and 1820s.
