Thanks Bev, I didn't want to write a long essay but maybe... Children baptised in Dodbrooke. The Belletts were well established in Blackawton, Ann baptised there 1809, but I can't see many Taylor happenings in that area, but a few in Dodbrooke I have Ann with family members on 1841 to 1881 - but John must have died before 1840. Ann married twice more and had a daughter inbetween! I will locate DHC and check availability of the marriage. Thanks for a new line of enquiry. Bernie Hi Bernie Where were the children baptised that you have............. Thomas 1832 etc. and where was William 1838 born? According to the Banns Notice at Blackawton John was otp and Ann BELLETT was a sojourner. Do you have a printout copy of the marriage from Devon History Centre [old DRO] If so what does it say, who were witnesses etc.? Have you found them on any census?
