Joy That throws the cat amongst the pidgeons and now brings Hugh in 1841 (age 11) with Francis and Ann back into play. Maybe he is Grandson, after all. Something to work on.

Andy, yes I found the marriage for HDV to Sarah Brayley/Brealy and subsequent children from their marriage. Tim, I've ruled out Hugh's parents as Francis & Ann (nee Risdon). There is a Baptism on IGI for him of 15 September 1820, Black Torrington. I believe the one I'm looking for came from Beaworthy, although there is no Baptism for him there. Bev, Yes it was a lot of names to write but, can that be a reason to make a mistake. Thanks to everyone, one day something will surface.
