Henry
Coumbe, Margery Northey and 3 generations, North Hill
All
five Coumbe headstones in North Hill church cemetery memorialise persons who
have common ancestors in Henry and Margery Coumbe (nee Northey). This
is a descendancy chart of research to date for Henry Coumbe (baptised 29 Oct
1726 at North Hill) and Margery Northey (b. 1725, Altarnun) and married at Altarnun in
1746. Of course, some events have less certainty than others.
More details are available (especially dates), but to improve readability
they are not presented here.
Other
topics on this page are: Henry Coumbe's
Ancestry, More Recent Descendants
and Migrants.
Did you find your grandparent or other ancestor in the descendancy
chart below? Is there anything you can add to help build the family
history?
I
would welcome any help with several questions in particular:
*
Is anyone else researching these ancestors?
* Are there any particular buildings thought to have been built by the Coumbe
masons?
The
following abbreviations are used, NH - North Hill, NI - No
issue, LNK - Linkinhorne, SA - South Australia. The
author welcomes corrections, contributions and links to the research of
others.
