Hi Bev, Many thanks. I have notes on possible rellies, but until I can find more on John such as a baptism, it remains conjecture. The Bellett/Scaggle combo is Ann's lot. Now how come I haven't come across the 1851 for John Jnr? Thanks again. I have tried googling Devon History Centre but it reverts to Devon County who seem to want things by post. Might try FMP as the transcription is there, but no cost given. I'll have to think of a few more queries before I buy more credits.
