Swimbridge, Barnstaple, Devon, England

'Unknown' means that events cannot be definitively placed.

5 Nov 1649; Baptism; Swimbridge, Barnstaple, Devon, England
Michaell Darch christened, son of Michaell Darch
There was no Michael recorded amongst Matthew's children

Possibly the Matthew christened in 1610 is too old to be this father. This is the last reference to Darch for 50 years in Landkey or Swimbridge.

5 Jan 1714; Marriage; Swimbridge, Barnstaple, Devon, England
Ellizabeth Darch married Steeven Pinkcombe
No clues about Elizabeth - either there is a gap in the IGI record of Landkey, or this person has moved from somewhere else

22 Jun 1727; Marriage; Swimbridge, Barnstaple, Devon, England
Susanna Darch married Pitter Gould
It is not entirely clear where Simon and Joan came from, or went to. There is a couple of the same given names in Ashreigney at the right time, Simon being christened in 1695, the couple having children in the years 1718 through to 1732, but if this is the same family, then it would appear that this son Simon died in 1731 in Ashreigney. The couple appear to have been in Yarnscombe on and off for a dozen years and then moved away.

It is possible that this son Simon married Margaret Sage in High Bickington in 1752 and then moved to Landkey where their first child was christened in 1753, and where one of their grandsons was born, who came back to Yarnscombe (John Darch who married Elizabeth Parkin in 1822). If so, son Simon is my g5-grandfather, and his father Simon is my g6-grandfather, but this is so far a very tenuous conclusion.
