comments=I have been trying to obtain information on my Great Great Great Grandmother, Sarah Courtenay who married James Delve in Swimbridge, Devon on 27th May 1832.

Sarah and James produced three sons and a daughter, all of whom were born in the Barnstaple area within the 1830s.

My enquiries so far have proved fruitless, however, I hope that you may be able to offer some information that will confirm who the siblings, parents and grand parents of Sarah were.

Thank you for your time

Yours sincerely
