I always thought in the back of my mind that I needed to look at the Protestation Results for Devon (all of it) since the charts produced by the earlier researchers had included a number of places in Devon other than the north west which was where I had found most Pincombes in my searches.
The chart that I produced when we were in Salt Lake City in 2008 was the following:
Parish Surname Forename Suffix
Abbotsham Pincombe Richard senior
Abbotsham Pincombe Richard junior
Alwington Pincombe Thomas
Bishops Nympton Pincombe John senior
Bishops Nympton Pincombe John junior
Bishops Nympton Pincombe William senior
Bishops Nympton Pincombe William junior

North Molton Pincombe Thomas junior?
Poughill Pincombe John
Satterleigh Pincombe Philip
South Molton Pincombe Henry
South Molton Pincombe Robert
South Molton Pincombe Robert
Twitchen Pincombe John
Definitely I was a newbie in those days and had not recorded the Hundred along with this information but it can be readily found so no real problem there.
I am just into South Molton Hundred now with my reading of the Protestation Returns but thus far I have collected:

I will continue collecting today but should complete the project. I need to check the various parish registers to see if I am able to determine if this spelling possibility gets repeated in the registers or whether it was a transcription anomaly. But certainly the results are interesting perhaps most certainly for the lack of the Pinkham surname in any of its possible spellings. I have had the Tincombe/Tyncombe surname spelling mentioned to me before but had not really looked into that at all. Once completed I will work with the older charts (they do have input from people in the various areas living in Devon) and the parish registers to see what I can find. I think it was a necessary step. I recorded no surnames at Roborough and St Giles in the Woods in Fremington Hundred just so that I would remember that I had read the original return on the government website. I had expected to find the family there perhaps although did not have a fixed idea that I would.
Other than that the cleaning all done for another week. Another load to go to Salvation Army and will approach the Tool Library to see if they would like any of these tools. They are a collected from over 55 years and Edward had some tools when we married. He would like to think that others would benefit from his tools.
I will also check all of these parishes for the subsidies in the 1500s to see if there is more variety to the spelling there that I have missed although I have looked for a wider range of spellings there than I looked at in 2008 at Salt Lake City! One learns as one moves along.
