John Millman - Bridestowe
John Millman was my grandfather. I believe that he was born in Bridestowe on 24th December 1859. I have been unable to find a birth record in this name. Born and raised in the Bridestowe area John crossed over to South Wales where he first married in 1880 and then again in 1898. I am concerned that I have been unable to find this man by the name John Millman in Bridestowe in the time 1859 - 1880. I wonder if perhaps he changed his name when moving from Devon to Wales. If I cannot locate him in Devon as John Millman then I shall have to assume this to be the case. Any information will be much appreciated.
