Possible baptisms:

Shared note

Possible baptisms:
a) 4 July 1771, Kenn, Devon, parents Roger and Mary Horsewell.
b) 14 September 1769, Alphington, Devon, father Roger, mother not named.

On his marriage record in August 1793 Roger is described as a Hellyer which means roofer, tiler, thatcher or slater. The marriage record shows one of the witnesses was Elizabeth Holland (the other Richard Street). A Mary Horsewell married a James Holland in Stoke Damerel on 7th August 1786. Witnesses Mary Lee and Peter Varly(?).

A Mary Horsewell was baptised in Alphrington on 19 Jan 1768, parents Roger and Mary Horeswell, so if she is Roger jnr's sister then the second baptism above is more likely to be correct.

1823 Kelly’s directory, Topsham, Devon: Henry Horsewell listed as a stone mason of Monmouth Street

In the 1832 traders directory there is the entry HORSEWELL Roger, slater & mason &c. This may well be Roger himself. Also in Pigot and Co directory for 1830, Topsham.

There are a number of records on IGI for birth and christening of Henry Horsewell all giving the same place and date but some with father as Roger and others as Robert. The most likely based on location, and the existence of the Marriage entry between Roger and Mary Street, is Roger. Also Pallots marriage index for Roger Horsewell and Mary Street in 1793. A copy of parish record confirms Henry's father was Roger Horsewell.

Possible deaths: 1838 Q3 St Thomas, Devon, v10 p144 age given as 68. Probability of match based on name and location (both Kenn or Alphington and Topham where our branch of Horsewell family lived are in the district of St Thomas. Administration of Roger's effects was granted to his son Henry on 7th March 1876, although date of death given as 20th September 1838. Why so long after the event?
