- Reference = 6 (Marriage)
- Notes: In 1811 at St Kerrian Exeter, Thomas Townsend 1770 wed Anna Maria MAY of
Dunsford, a few miles to the north west in what is now Dartmoor National Park.
Neither was young; Thomas was already 41 and Anna 34 when they married. I
think he was previously married to Sarah QUICK but couldn't verify this. Each of
Thomas's children were baptised at Upton Pyne where he stayed until his death in
1845.
Their eldest daughter also Anna Maria b 1812 wed druggist William Jacobs
FROOM on 12 ApI 1834 at Upton Pyne and had at least one son and a daughter.

Thomas and Anna Townsend's third daughter Jane 1816 wed surgeon J.N.
Froom sometime after 1837 when civil marriage registration began. In view of the
unusual surname it is quite likely the two sisters wed brothers or maybe cousins.
Thomas' elder son was Heyry Cann Townsend 23 Sep 1818 who wed Elizabeth
Tremlett GATER oflleighbouring Cadbury on 27 Jul 1847. One daughter Emily
never married and the other Alice, wed Thorvertonian James TURNER.

This public tree has about 60,100 people. Every person in the tree is related by birth or marriage to at least one other person in the tree - no strays. The people in the tree come mainly from four projects.
  1. My family tree. The original project begun about 1998. ID numbers less than about 6,000
  2. Canberra and Queanbeyan Pioneers. The next 30,000 begun about 2004. Sourced almost entirely from HAGSOC's excellent 'Biographical Register of Canberra and Queanbeyan'. The project began when I decided to add siblings, spouses and parents for a relation with an entry in the Register. 12 years work.
  3. Wagga Pioneers. I moved to Wagga and thought I would extend the Queanbeyan project by adding people from Wagga Wagga & District Family History Society's 'Pioneers of Wagga Wagga and District'. About 10,300 people added over about a year.
  4. Tumut Valley Pioneers. During the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, I decided to extend the above projects by adding pioneers of the Tumut Valley. Initial sources were Snowden's 'Pioneers of the Tumut Valley' and 'Relict of ... Lives of Pioneering Women of Tumut and District'. Excellent references published by Tumut Family History Group. I've also added material from newspapers of the time - especially, death records, obituaries and weddings from 'Tumut and Adelong Times'. This project is in its early stage and might take a few years. I plan to extend to the upper Monaro (Adaminaby, Kiandra, Cooma, Jindabyne).
I upload new information to this website about every 3 months. My motivation for these projects is to provide public information for people seeking to trace ancestors and what became of them. Much of the information I provide can be difficult to find.
If you find errors - anything incorrect (dates, places, wrong parents, wrong children), and you have evidence, I would love to fix them. Or, if you have information that would extend my projects, do not hestiate to contact me on the email link below. I do not publish information on living people - which means I'm not much interested in people born after about 1920, and I usually distrust material from before about 1770 without extremely good sources.
