ALL baptisms for the children of Lionel CHANCEY Sr and Elizabeth BEVIS are from transcriptions of the parish records of St Andrews, Cullompton where Lionel was the one to painstakingly write every entry.
There are a few transcriptions not online so I was not able to find a marriage date for Lionel and his 2nd wife Sarah and as a result, her surname is unknown.
Because Lionel and Elizabeth were married in the county of Wiltshire and had their 1st child in Dorset, it is probable that both of them were born in that part of the country before they moved to Cullompton sometime before 1750.
