A big warm welcome to those who have reached my Family History site. I have cast the net (pardon the pun) to distant relatives across the internet world and have been delighted hearing from distant cousins in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the US. If you are only just starting, I have put together some useful information on my links page.

Dedicated to our branch of North Devon Hellyer's, there are some 600 names in the branches of this tree which include the following surnames:

BOND, BUCKINGHAM, BULLEID, CORY, COWLE, DAVIE, GRILLS, HELLYER, HUNT, LEACH, KEMP, MILDON, MILLMAN, MOLLAND, PARTRIDGE, PEIRCE, PICKARD, PRIME, PULLEN, RATTENBURY, RICK, ROWCKES, SNELL, STEVENS, STONEMAN, SUGGE, TAPP, VICARY, VOYSEY, WILLIAMS, WILSON, ZEALE


Finding direct ancestry back to 1700's has been relatively easy. Most of our ancestors lived in North Devon and many still do to this day. The earliest 'Hellyer' found in Winkleigh, North Devon, is a Reginald le Helyere 1333. The nearest to this is a George Hellyer married 1585 to a Wilmot Rowckes in Coldridge, North Devon.


I trust visitors to this site have as much enjoyment viewing it as I have had putting it together. Please feel free to email me. I welcome your comments and any additional information you may have.
