Roger Northcote/tt

Posted by S Dunne on 28/5/2018, 7:50 pm

Having trouble at Devon Records deciphering birth for John Northcote on 3 January 1622 in Crediton. Is his father Roger? If so, is Roger listed as from a place called Whitstone or similar? Is this near Crediton? Thank you in advance.

Northcote and Northcott on National archives, mentions a john Northcott of Bundleigh, genuki gives Bundleigh/Bondleigh, registers not on I.G.I.
Hope that helps.

Have you looked on National Archives site? there is a Roger Northcote mentioned with a wife Joan. Not sure if it corresponds with your dates.

Can you post a link to the image on Findmypast as I can't see any baptisms for 3 January 1622 in Crediton parish register.

It would also be helpful if you said which entry down the page it was.

Chris - it's 1622/3. Lower side of left hand page 9th from the bottom. The father's forename - Roger is clear as is 'of Whitstone'. It's been transcribed as Henrie MORTIN.

Thanks, found it now.

I don't know if it's the 3rd or 5th January 1622.

I've just asked a couple of friends and we all have come to the conclusion that it's.

Henrie sonne of Roger Mortim of Whitstone.

If you go to a few pages further on in the register there are some entries for Henrie.

Yes I'd agree with that.

To add to this - Henrie was buried the very next day 4th Jan 1622 - son of Roger MORTINS of Whitstone - so not your John NORTHCOTE at all S Dunne.

I don't think the forename of the 'sonne' is John, nor do I think the surname is NORTHCOTE - it appears to begin with an 'M'. The forename of the child looks like Henrie.
Look at the other names on the page - John is clearly written as John where shown.
Any handwriting experts out there?

Whitstone could be the name of a property in Crediton Parish.

There is also the Parish of Whitestone/Whitstone which is between Exeter and Crediton.

You can view the location of parishes on the Map page of Devon FHS website

There is also information about the Parish of Whitestone on Genuki

Thank you everyone. I must have misread it. Wishful thinking! I've been trying to find the birth of Roger Northcote who was a Reeve of Lapford Manor and father of Roger Northcote of Morchard Bishop. Roger senior was listed in the Visitation but he was not baptised in Morchard Bishop.

Family seach has roger born Lapford 1649, and Roger jnr born 1678 Morchard Bishop. I assume you are looking for the father of the one born Lapford?

Yes, Judith, I am looking for the father of Roger born in 1649. There was a possibility on IGI of a possible Roger who married Richord Mollond but I don't know where he was born, or where the IGI received this info from. I have looked through Lapford records on line as I am a Member but could't find anything. He would have been born around 1620's to he been recorded in the Visitation. Thanks again. Sue

Such a shame - of course it always gets more difficult the further back you get. Records may not have survived or he may have been baptised somewhere else entirely. (or not at all)
