  • Name Dionisia WILLIAMS 
    Relationshipwith Teresa Ann GOATHAM
    Born Abt 1669  Lamerton, Devon, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location 
    • (assumed from baptism)
    Baptised 1 Feb 1669/70  St. Peter’s Church, Lamerton, Devon, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location 
    • From PR entry (image on FMP):
      Christnings - 1669 - Februarie "Dionisia darter of Peter Williames"

      Is this the right Dionisia? A little older than expected but children all born at a reasonable age (oldest at 47). The fact that her father was Peter and she and John called their first born Peter encourages me to believe this is the correct person.

    Notes 
    • Looking to find Dionisia's marriage I decided it would be easier to search on her Christian name than on "John Reed". I was surprised to find a lot more Dionisias and Dionisiuses than I expected. I have since read that research has now shown that Walkhampton Church, dedicated in 1985 to St. Mary the Virgin after many years with no known dedication, may originally have been dedicated to "St Dionisius of Walkynton". Maybe this has influenced the abundunce of these names in the area.

    Mother Grace,   bur. 15 Jul 1711, St. Peter’s Church, Lamerton, Devon, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location 
    Married 21 Dec 1661  St. Peter’s Church, Lamerton, Devon, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location 
    • Date from Dartmoor Press data, but that doesn't show the brides name. When Grace was buried she was shown as widow of Peter, given that Peter had a dau Grace I think she was the dau of this Peter, not his son.
      But it's possible Peter could have been widowed and remarried, esp between 1670 and 1675. But the indexes on FMP show no burials of a female Williams in Lamerton during this period.
      To my mind this pretty strongly indicates Grace was person Peter married in 1661, the mother of all his children.
      There is also no other marr of a Peter, either on FMP or Dartmoor Press, but a second marriage could easily have been in a parish not covered by either for this period.
