Buckland Brewer, Devon - History and Genealogy

Comment by John Ritchings on August 5, 2014 at 9:18am

Nicholas Poyntz of Buckland Brewer died in 1609. He was survived by six children, Humphry, William, John, James, Grace and Mary. At the time of Nicholas’s death, his daughter, Grace, had married Richard Hogge in 1596 and was living in Newton St Petrock. Following his death, his eldest son and executor, Humphrey married Mary Heath in Wells cathedral on 23 May 1610.

Nicholas had a brother, Hugh, who died without issue in Newton St Petrock in 1593.

There is a record of a Humphrey Poyntz being baptised in Buckland Brewer on 13 January 1623, the son of John. It appears that this Humphrey married Joan and moved to Monkleigh.

It is said that there is an inscription under the floor of Buckland Brewer church concerning family Poyntz. Is there any knowledge of such an inscription, what was said, or where a transcript may be found?

Does anyone have any other information concerning this part of family Poyntz?

David You would need the North Devon record office in Barnstaple but there aren't a great number of leases for these parishes. The Devon Heritage centre in Exeter has a little additional material.

Hello Janet, all:

Is there a local archives or record office where one can find leases and land records for Buckland Brewer and neighbouring parishes such as Parkham? I am thinking of travelling to Devon in October, and would like to look up old records of my Passmore, Downing and Fortescue ancestors.

Best wishes

Thanks for your reply about Barton Court, Janet. It's curious that my original question only appeared by email. Perhaps it's because I used "send message to group" instead of "comment wall" (which I'm using now).

I can't see David's message at all here - just in my email notification - all very strange.

Hi Janet, the link seems to work fine for me :-)

David, I have your message although it is not visible here. Barton Court is a holiday complex and spa created out of the former Barton Farm outbuildings. The farm itself and two farm cottages (now knocked in to one) are private dwellings. It is likely that the Passmores lived in the Farm itself.
