Hello Lois Thank you for the extra information on James, I did not know that he ended up in USA. He is not directly related to me, and I forget now why I was even chasing him. I think it was because Myra reported some extra records had become available. I am always after anyone who ended up in Devon. Tobias EDMONDS is a favourite name of mine and I try to chase any of them down no matter where they come from. My guess is that he was never baptised, which is quite often the case. Thankfully his marriage entry gives his father as Tobias, farmer.
