The Jameses however came to Mumbles in Swansea in the 1850s and it became very confusing at one point because of the preponderance of Jameses - I am named Gilbert James after my great uncle Gilbert James Delve...but as I say that first JamesDelve emerges in the 1850s, the name continues to his son, my great uncle, my father, me and my son-e and grandson. 2012-04-22 21:32:26Z Rugbygrampa http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.delve/9.1.1.1.1/mb.ashx http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.delve/9.1.1.1/mb.ashx In the 1851 census they have the name as Delre, but if you look on the actual page it is Delve.

He was born c1810 but I have found that James is a name that carries through the family. It is possible that your james and mine were cousins but I havent got quite that far yet as the earlier records are very sketchy. My branch seem to have been scattered around the Swimbridge/crediton/Tawstock areas. Thanks for replying to my message, If you find a connection before me, please will you let me know.

William senior was born in the village of Landkey outside Barnstaple in about 1801. He is buried at Marwood Parish church close to the belfry door.He lived until he was 91 at Kingsheanton a small hamlet in Marwood. My grandmother knew him and the Delves but the family had fallen out badly as her mother ,his granddaughter had died the day she was born in childbirth and there was a family row about who was to bring up the children.

She had sisters and one brother.<br><br>I believe the family originally came from Braunton, and some then emigrated to USA and Canada.<br><br>Any communication welcome. 2001-07-04 20:34:15Z Janwri http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.delve/3/mb.ashx http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.delve/1/mb.ashx Hi,<br><br>My own Delve line starts in Morchard Bishop in Devon, England. There were several Delve families in the village from at least 1660 (From when Parish Records are available.)<br><br>There are several descendants of Morchard Bishop Delves with on-line information.<br><br>My own line starts with a John Delve, born about 1750.<br><br>John's grandson, Richard Delve, born in Morchard in 1784 moved onto Lapford. His son Richard and his wife Mary (Richards) were founder members of the Congregational Chapel there.<br><br>From there my live continues through Richard's son David, born in Lapford in 1844 and his son Frederick William, born in Ilfracombe in 1868.<br><br>About 1900 Fred and his wife Hettie and other members of her family migrated to Hyde, Cheshire. Their youngest daughter (of six children), Gertrude, is my grandmother.<br><br>More details are on my website.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Mike Brierley<br> 2001-04-12 12:00:00Z http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.delve/1/mb.ashx http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.delve/2/mb.ashx Hi,<br><br>I have now adopted this and the other Delve boards, as well as the Delve-L and Delve-D mailing lists.<br><br>Hopefully the number of users will rise (from the current total of one!)in time.<br><br>The board is for anybody intetested in the Delve surname family at any place at any time.<br><br>Mike Brierley 2001-04-12 12:00:00Z http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.delve/2/mb.ashx
