George GEAKE was born abt 1788 in Lamerton, Devon and married to Mary [last name not known at present]. He appears to have had a brother named Digory GEAKE born abt 1786 in Lamerton.
I found 2 baptisms at Dunterton, near Lamerton for these children whose parents are given as George & Mary of Lamerton:
1814 Apr 3rd Digory George & Mary GEAKE Dunterton Parishioner of Lamerton Labourer
1816 Mar 12th Jane George & Mary GEAKE Dunterton Parishioner of Lamerton Labourer
[Jane was buried Dec 25 1817 in Lamerton]
George & Mary appear to have also had the following as well, all born Lamerton:
William b abt 1810 married Mary / died aft 1871 Lamerton
George b abt 1812 married Mary EARLE / died 1887 Tintagel
Digory 1814 married Mary / died 1879 Tintagel
Jane 1816 [died young]
Mary b abt 1820 married James DASHPER / died 1901 Tavistock
Sophia b abt 1821 marr William DOIDGE / died 1901 Tavistock
John b abt 1824 married Betsy HONEY / died 1871 St Teath
George was with daughter Mary GEAKE Dashper in 1861 and 1871 Census and that's how I found him!
He died in 1872 in Tavistock. He seems to have had a brother Digory GEAKE born abt 1786 in Lamerton who dies 1870 in Stowford, Devon.
It would be great to find their father! I have a George GEAKE bap 1771 in South Petherwin, Cornwall who would have been a very young father abt 1787 but it is possible as he had a brother who went there and other relatives in the Lamerton and Tavistock areas.
