G2G: Can someone with an Ancestry membership look up something for me?

Question

I'm looking for the death place of Jane (Comings) Sweetland, who was christened on 20 September 1738 at Ampney Saint Peter, Gloucestershire, England. Her parents are listed as John and Amy. Some online unsourced family trees list her death place as Devon, and an Ancestry tree with the vital information blurred out lists it as New Haven, Connecticut.

At this point I have no clue how she might possibly be related to me, but I'm always interested in learning about folks who share my surname AND its spelling. I'm also interested in learning about the descendants of those family members who stayed in England when my 9th great grandfather Isaac crossed the pond in 1630.

Answer 1

It's highly unlikely that the Jane Comings baptised in Ampney St Peter is the same Jane Comings that married William Sweetland in Exeter and was buried there. "Cummings" (and variants such as "Comings") is a common surname in England, and it was unusual for people to move great distances within England in the 18th century - so without any other specific evidence to show a connection, there's no reason to believe that these records represent the same person.

I've added some research notes with more detail on this and some better source citations to Jane's profile, and have also created Comings-405 as the Jane from Ampney St Peter.
