Hibbitt Family Tree section

Last week I met a couple of cousins who were visiting from Melbourne, Australia. During our time together, we went to the Plymouth & West Devon Record Office. Although I've been researching family history for 5 years now, I'm ashamed to say that I'd never been before so this gave me an impetus to go along and see what's available. My cousins are related to me on my Dando side, however, their Devon interest was on a different branch and so was mine. Whilst I was there, I gained free access to FindMyPast and...

• I discovered a baptism for my 3 x great-grandfather, William Hellier, in Tavistock in 1815.
• Besides this, I came across a marriage for William's parents, Samuel Hellier & Elizabeth Gale. I had wondered where the Gale name came in because William's son's middle name was Gale. Now I see my great-great-grandfather, John Gale Hellier/Hellyer, was named after his grandmother.

I still need to ascertain the maiden name of William's wife, Sarah.
