Dear Lynfa Maeer,
I am a descendant of Emmanuel Bampfield Maer, son of Herbert and Adelaide Elizabeth Maer. Emmanuel was born in 1840, two years before Samuel Maeer. According to what I have found, Samuel was born in 1842 in Salconbe Regis Devon. It's a tough tree to follow as in my family, the spelling of the surname changed six times since 1648. I gathered most of the earlier history through two trees on www.ancestry.co but will not be able to verify it personally until I make a trip to Salcombe Regis. I have seen references to the family name(s) going back to the 1500's.
Look forward to hearing from you,
John Mears
