Pidgeons of Hawkchurch & Thorncombe

These Pidgeon Trees have been established from Parish records, census returns and PRO indexes. As such there are several assumptions, which may be wrong, so they should be used with caution. (There were originally three of them, but one has been incorporated in the Pidgeons of Thorncombe tree.)

Notes: ab. = about, b. = born, bp. = baptised, bu. = buried, d. = died, m. = married.
