Stoke-in-Teignhead, Devon
Unfortunately, there were two William Milburys having children in Stoke-in-Teignhead at the same time, one married Tamsine Leey in 1615 and the other married Joan Andrews in 1619. The baptismal records for the parish only list the name of the children's father and not the mother.
Christopher- bpt. 24 July 1616
John- son of Wm, bur. 13 Nov. 1620
Julian- bpt. 6 Aug. 1620
William- bpt. 3 Sept. 1620
Joane- bpt. 29 Sept. 1622, bur. 20 Sept. 1627
John- son of Wm., bur. 29 Jan. 1623
Roger- bpt. 10 June, bur. 11 June 1625
Henry- bpt. 7 Aug. 1625
Richard- bpt. 23 Sept. 1628
William- bpt. 1 Jan. 1628
Anthony- bpt. 21 July 1632
Christopher- bpt. 29 Sept. 1635, bur. 3 Sept. 1640
Wilmot- bpt. 28 Nov. 1635
Jone- d. of Wm., bur. 28 July 1645
Henry and Richard were obviously brothers so that would make Roger, bpt. 1625 and William, bpt. 1628, sons of the other William. Another William, son of William, was bpt. in 1620 and he was probably the brother of Henry and Richard as it would be unlikely that there would be two Williams in the same family and no burial record is found for a William, child of William. So that would place Julian in the "other William's" family. No bpt. record is found for a John Milbury who would correspond with the one who was a witness with Elias Stileman in 1663. Christopher and John I were undoubtedly the children of William and Tamsine. The Joans were likely the daughters of William and Joan and the other Christopher, bpt. 1635, bur. 1640 was also probably their child.
Walter Goodwin Davis in his article(1) on the families from Stoke-in-Teignhead states that the above problem could probably be sorted out with probate records... unfortunately, the PRO was bombed in the Blitz in 1942 and all the probate records were destroyed.
