Hi Bruce, Welcome to the small but growing Knight Group :) My Lewis's are a little further back than your John and Lewis and none in Brixham I know of, although one of my James's married a girl from near Devonport. I never think it hurts to look at every bit of info, just in case. If we all keep an eye out and keep in touch via this list, no doubt we'll all benefit eventually.
