Thanks mgnv, yup, I have given him the 1841 and 1851 in Devon and the couple's deaths. I've followed one line down in particular that he knew of (wanted to confirm that the parents were correct), but oh look, more cousins for him. :-)

Excellent, thank you very much safc!

I don't really need the images right now, as that's the info I was looking for.

I'm helping a good friend trace family who emigrated to Canada. The above person seems to be the wife of his family member, from records in Devon and Ontario.

My FMP sub has expired. :-(


This baptism is there:

Shaddock Eliza 1814 Devon Baptisms Chulmleigh, Devon, England

http://search.findmypast.co.uk/record?id=gbprs%2fb%2f501285723%2f1


It isn't showing at familysearch, nor is her marriage:

Shaddick Eliza 1836 Devon Marriages Eggesford, Devon, England

http://search.findmypast.co.uk/record?id=gbprs%2fm%2f514242405%2f3


I haven't yet contacted the person who has made corrections to Ancestry records in England and Canada for info, but I seem to be on the right track, versus someone at findagrave who has entered a birth surname for her that seems to have been plucked out of thin air, which is why I'm checking to be sure. Parents' names might help to confirm, and all that.

I'd be really grateful for a copy of the transcription and images.

Just a boring request, but many thanks. :-)
