I have Robert Winsor born in Torbryan, Devon, England in 1818. Father George Winsor, born 1780 Devon, England, Mother Mary Cole Born Nov. 26, 1780 in Harbour Grace and Died Jan. 23, 1862 in Tilt Cove. I cannot vouch for the accuracy of this info however.

Where did you find this information about George Winsor and Mary Cole? I find it odd that Mary Cole was born and died in Newfoundland, yet had children born in Devon. Not impossible but how likely was it?

Robert Winsor is my husband's great, great, great grandfather by both his mother's and father's family tree!

We have baptism records for Torbryan Devon, but Robert (or his siblings) are not recorded there. My husband moved to the UK in 1998, and is trying to trace the Winsor family in the UK.

I found out about George Winsor and Mary Cole being the parents, because of a death listing for Robert's brother Charles.
George Winsor and Mary Cole are listed as the parents by the researchers/transcribers of the parish records.

Here is the excerpt I found for Charles Winsor brother of Robert:

Charles WINSOR d Jan 25 1893 Tilt Cove senility 73 years Meth planter Tilt Cove Tilt Cove NOTES: Son of George WINSOR of the West Country, England, and Mary COLE(S) of Conception Bay; per headstone, born June 26 1820 - died Jan 26 1893; husband of Elizabeth MACKEY.

You can find that information for yourself here:

I hope this helps you some :)

Paul is my cousin and My GGGF .... unknown to my Parents Calvin and Joan ... Named me the same :) . However the story my dad told me was that three brothers came from England and settled in Triton. I visited his grave site a few years back and was happy to do so but erie seeing my name just the same :) .... Nice info to read just the same about our past and very hard to get misleads for sure with records that are not kept as good as in the past! Cheers RJW
