After the 1662 sale of Ingsdon Manor where did this family live?









Bickington is the nearest parish church to Ingsdon Manor

There is no sign of a Loveland Farm at Bickington near the Ilsington and Ingsdon manor area of south Devon

Bickington is the nearest parish church to Ingsdon Manor - However there is another Bickington near Bideford in North Devon  

HOWEVER  there still exists a Loveland Farm near Bideford near High Bickington in North Devon, which is close to the coast near Bideford , not very far from Clovelly and about 6 miles away from the Pomeroy group at Abbotts Bickington which I found in Lost Parish Register - on line 1596 -1644 Vol 1 - A-B

Vaughan   relates to Frances Vaughan  the wife of Hugh Pomeroy of Ingsdon, whose daughter  Welthen Pomeroy  Bb Bickington 28 Jan 1648  who  married  William Gilham  gent - at Withycombe Raleigh 29 Sept 1668


Hugh Pomeroy  “Royalist Captain” (1615- 1682) born & baptised at Bickington  24 Nov 1615. Death date & place unknown possibly London. 

Married Frances Vaughan -    before 1647

1 daughter -  Welthen  28 Jun 1648

 Devon Baptisms Bickington, who  married at Withycombe Raleigh, Exmouth  on 29 Sept 1668 to William Gilham

Frances Vaughan was daughter of  Charles Vaughan Esq of Chudleigh baptised 2 May 1621
Her parents were Charles Vaughan Esq of Tresurersbeare, Clist Honiton  & Frances Reynell who married by licence on 22 Aug 1617 at Ogwell  


Musings  Robert 1551 

 Hugh's great grandfather was Robert but he died 1517 so it can't be him.

There are no other Roberts in the immediate tree and none in Tregony or Sandridge or Stoke Gabriel

 So who Robert might be is as yet unknown to me. 

Could he be an unrecorded brother to Hugh ??

none of the Roberts I found in FMP fit..

unless my  theory is correct &  Christopher son of John,  brother of Sinclere went to Honiton   

 I've wondered about that for almost 20 years...

Ingsdon Christopher  was buried in Ilsington parish 15 Aug 1590 

Did  Christopher son of John of Over Ingsdon, now Higher Ingsdon, go to Honiton where he had a son Christopher  ?

I have seen some records of men who have died in one place and been taken home to presumable be buried in the family vault, giving money to each place the courtage passed through.

 Could Christopher have lived in Honiton and been buried at Ilsington. It would have been an expensive funeral, with a 30 mile journey.
