A Genealogist's Romantic Inheritance

The Devon Kin Keeper is a work of fiction, based on facts surrounding the claims to inherit the Angell Estate, South London, England. The story is written from the perspective of three genealogists in the Allery family, myself, my sister Pamela Marie Allery and our great uncle William Adrian Allery.

William Adrian Allery, the Devon Kin Keeper, became a well-known figure when he determined that his claim to the estate as evidenced by recent discoveries of marriage, baptisms, and birth entries in the parish registers of St Clements and St Saviours in Townstal, Dartmouth, Devon.

Many of the scenes and chapters have evolved from my blog posts, compiled over a thirty-year span, about various members of the Allery family. Our roots stem from the small township of Townstal, Dartmouth in Devon, UK.

The story of the Allery claims to the Angell Estate in London, is a tale of mystery, intrigue, missing documents, and an illegitimate child. It is a story within a story - how William Adrian tells of another Samuel in our ancestry, and his marriage to the heir to the Angell Estate. This has become quite a famous story in our family, snippets of William's exploits in 'genealogy detective work' and 'claims to the estate' being handed down by generations of his kin. The story also made the newspapers of the time and added a little more intrigue to this tale.
