Comments

Hi,

I am wondering if anyone can supply details the sources for this information.

Many thanks

I have to state that I think the information in this post may not be correct. There is an exhausting issue with the Neville family in that for many many generations they all had many children that mostly all survived into adulthood, married and had many children, there are literally thousands of them. More frustrating is that they all named their children after their siblings. So each generation has someone with the same name and the same name for their children.

However I have found evidence that the Bridgett Neville who married Thomas Spackman in the year 1700 was actually born in Cliffe Pypard with her father listed as Robert Neville.

Robert Neville and his family are listed here:

https://www.wiltshire-opc.org.uk/Items/Clyffe%20Pypard/Clyffe%20Pypard%…

This is 1697, three years before Bridget married Thomas Spackman. Brigett is listed as a Nevill (Spelt Nevell) along with other Nevells in the parish (Ive copy and pasted below)

Nevell Anne
Nevell Bridgett
Nevell Hester
Nevell John
Nevell Mary
Nevell Mary
Nevell Prudence
Nevell Prudence
Nevell Robert

Ther appears to be 2 prudence and 2 mary Neville's for some reason. Different generations perhaps?

https://www.wiltshire-opc.org.uk/Items/Clyffe%20Pypard/Clyffe%20Pypard%…

Here in the census of 1701 it lists who resides with Roberts Neville and there is no longer a Bridget Neville (This is 1 year after her marriage to Thomas Spackman)

There is now a Bridget Spackman listed as residing with Thomas Spackman.

Is this the Bridgett Spackman that was the Bridget Neville listed in the tax assesment list from before. It's likely that it is.

Richard Neville was born in 1616 at Keymer Manor, Keymer, Hassocks, Ditchling, West Sussex. & Margaret Usher was born in 1630.

I have their children as listed:

• John (1642–1696)
• Bridget (1652–1748)
• Richard  (1654–1720)
• Robert (1656–1686)
• Garrett (1658–)
• Alice (1660–1720)
• Mary (1668–)
• Garrett (1678–1737)

I am not sure yet but I have a feeling that Robert Neville is the father of Bridgett Ann Neville who was born in 1674 in Cliffe Pypard (Often written as Cleeve Peppered) so Richard Neville 1616 is actually her grandfather. Richard Neville would have been 58 when Bridgett Ann was born so this seems more likely,

When I find the page where I saw a marriage registry with Bridget ann and Thomas Spackman and the father of Bridgett being Robert I will post it here. I appear not to have bookmarked it annoyingly.

In my family tree on Ancestry.com Bridgett Ann is also repeatedly registered as being born in Cliffe Pypard in 1674. Not in Ireland. As Richard and Margaret Neville lived in Ireland and all their chidren were born there, the huge age gap I think it's fair to say that the information in this post has missed a generation and that the Bridget who was the daughter of Richard and Margaret born in 1652 is the Aunt of Bridget Ann Neville born in 1674.

If you are exloring the link between Bridget Ann and King Edward III it's worth noting that the Baron Abergavenny line jumps around a bit and was not passed down from father to son each generation. There was a brother of one of the barons called Francis who's son inherited the Title after the childless death of his cousin. (the nephew of his father Francis).

Hi Dex,

Hope you are well.

Many thanks, very interesting!

I think you are right.

Robert Nevill died in 1710. His will includes a bequest to his daughter 'Spackman'. (on Ancestry.com)

There is a chap in Australia who states that Thomas Spackman was one of the two individuals charged with the disposal of his effecs. Thomas is named as his son-in-law. I am in the process of trying to locate that document.

The parish register does not detail his age within the burial entry.

I can't find a baptismal entry for either Bridget or Robert, I haven't even found Robert's marriage entry. So many people seem to believe Richard Neville 1616 is their father or grandfather, but I just can't see any evidence. I will keep scrabbling around though and let you know what I turn up.

Best wishes

Andrew

Oops!

It wouldn't post the text. Then wouldn't stop posting it.

I should have been more patient and resisted the urge to keep pressing the post button.
