Waltham of Tiverton 1700-1800 - Tiverton
Plympton WALTHAM or James Plympton WALTHAM is a name that has come down through the years in my family. I am interested in any one of that name that you know of as it is fairly unusual. I have found this name in the IGI Ref M051721 31 Dec 1716, and also a mention of the same person in the Tiverton index for Wills for the year 1767. My ggg grandfather was Plympton James Waltham b. 2 August 1751 (family bible) (widower)50 years old when he married Sarah Gibbs in 1801 in Southwark. (I have hit a brick wall as far as any information about his first wife and also his second wife Sarah GIBBS other than Sarah was born on 17 Oct 1769 (family bible). He died in 1828 at Bethnal Green. I have a copy of his will. He had a son Plympton James WALTHAM b. 1805 in Stepney. No further information about him, so I presume he died, he is not mentioned in his father's will. His grandson James Plympton MOSS b. 1834 in Staffordshire immigrated to Melbourne, Victoria, Australia in 1855. Would love to have some help on this one, as I seem to have hit a brick wall. Thanks

The name "Brin" is a bit puzzling as well since it is not known in the family, but in Welsh means, I believe, "hill".
