Waugh

John Waugh (1771-1802) was born and died in Bristol, in 1795 he married Hester Evans, born in Bristol in 1775. They has two sons and a daughter – John Waugh (1796-1888), Robert Waugh (1798-1883) and Elisabeth Waugh (1800-1801). John’s father had the same name and lived for a while, at least, in Bristol with John senior’s brother, Robert.

My grandfather, Albert Waugh, told me the family originated from Dingwall, Ross and Cromarty. I have not yet been able to link the family in the West of England to those in Scotland. I do however believe that John Waugh senior is that link. If you have any information please contact me.

Churchward

These are Churchward family members who originated from or lived in Teigngrace, Highweek, Newton Abbot, Wolborough and Plymouth. They are not the Churchward’s who originated from Buckfastleigh, Devon although no doubt there might be a connection extending back to the 1400’s – maybe!

Bettison

This is the Bettison, Bettinson, Bettyson branch of my tree (direct line). Lily Bettison married my great grandfather, George Churchward in 1901 in Newton Abbot where they ran the family cheese and basket business until 1939. There is a special item about Richard Bettison (my 2x great grandfather).
