I am researching my Lang family ancestry and have recently discovered that my 4 x great grandfather, George Lang, was born in South Tawton in 1799. Two of his sons then married into the Ellacott family of North Petherwin. I would be very interested to know if there are still any descendants of George Lang living in South Tawton, or if there is anyone else researching the Langs of South Tawton. My direct ancestors moved away from South Tawton to work in the dockyards in Plymouth in the mid-1800s. Apparently, a Thomas Lang was the Landlord of The Seven Stars in the mid-1800´s .... My parents actually visited South Tawton last week (they only live in Ipplepen, so it isn´t too far) and said what a lovely village it is. We have only just recently discovered the Lang connection and are all eager to find out more. |

Just a hello from Joe Moore of Mt. Pearl, Nfld, Canada. Grandson of Alfred Moore who was born in 1868 in South Zeal. Alfred Moore's father was Simon and Grandfather was William Moore and John Drew. William was the owner of the Lamb Inn in South Zeal and after by his son James Moore. William's daughter Elizabeth and Wm. Pearse owned the London Inn. John Drew was the owner of Seven Stars in South Tawton. James Drew owned the Oxenham Arms. So you see my roots go back to the publican business in the first half of the nineteenth century. The Moore's were yeoman too. |
