Bradninch Parish Records

Posted by Julie Collins on 27/11/2018, 4:25 am

I seem to go around in ever decreasing circles trying to find out if they are online anywhere. My usually reliable sources say they are, but I can't find them.

I visited Devon earlier this year, and wouldn't you know it, just after I get home (and I did visit Silverton, Bradninch & Cullompton) a cousin showed me a document... that makes me really want to have access to those parish records for the surname PATCH, during the 18th century.

I did belong to the Devon FHS back when I last undertook research in UK, (I spent a couple of days at Treetops for an annual subscription) but the Bradninch link wasn't known then.

There's 4 marriages only on findmypast.

There are old typed transcripts (with indexes) of the Bradninch registers (1557-1840) at the Society of Genealogists library in London, if you can get there, otherwise they're only at the Devon archives, apart from a short range of marriages on FindMyPast.

Only Devon FHS Indexes for Bradninch are available on Findmypast. They cover baptisms & burials 1813-1839 and marriages 1754-1837.

There are no images of the actual register entries on Findmypast so it looks as if the registers for this Parish were not filmed and uploaded to Findmypast. Images for this Parish are not available to browse on the site.

If you are looking for early records for Bradninch then you could try FamilySearch to see if there are any BT's on that site. If there are images available for Bradninch BT's then it's worth browsing them as not all Devon BT's on FamilySearch have been indexed on the site.

Check Genuki Bradninch, I think not on I.G.I. (fmailysearch)but you can use census to get some namesfrom 1841 onwards.

Many Devon BT's have been added to FamilySearch over the last year or so, they are not shown on the IGI and very separate from this.

National archives site shows two sisters Ann Patch, alias Mutter aged 9 apprenticed out in 1813, and Harriet Patch alias Mutter apprenticed on 1807 aged 10. So you may need to check out the Mutter name too.
