Research Notes
The family tree going backwards from George Rumsam(1) is based on assumptions made from the following parish records from Combe Martin. These were copied from transcripts and microfiche records held in the North Devon records office in Barnstaple.
I've kept the family name Rumsam in the tree details for simplicity but included the transcribed names below from the registers which do not always match.
