    Notes 
    • This marriage is the only sensible William Dell marrying a Mary in Devon on IGI. This matches the transcriptions from the Devon FHS. There is another marriage at Burrington, towards Barnstable, in 1795, but there is no reason to assume this is more likely. It leaves a gap on IGI between this and the firstborn in 1782.

      Some sites have the marriage year transcribed as 1792. I have picked 1781 as although the Bishops transcripts are just that, they are contemporaneous. IGI has the year of marriage transcribed as 1782.

      Note - although the bishops transcription of the marriage says William came from Clannaborough and Mary from Bow, the transcript for their son Richard says "son of Wm and Mary Delve of Clannaborough"

  • Notes 
    • The Bishops marriage transcript has William coming from Clannaborough, and this is likely to be fairly accurate.

      There is no obvious baptism information.

      There is a burial transcription for William (DELL and DELVE) buried in Clannaborough on 14/1/1828, aged 73, "of Bow". This suggests he might have gone back "home" at the end of his life, particularly if he was widowed at that stage. However the best info for Mary his wife is that she died in 1837......

      There is a Samuel, James and John Delve, all born Bow between 1808 and 1823 who might be grandsons of William, from an older son than Samuel......There are no more details on IGI.
