A suggestion for all questions about births before 1837: usually, only baptisms are available. Look at the Genuki(Devon) ( http://genuki.cs.ncl.ac.uk/DEV/ ) page(s) for the parish(es) you think the birth took place in. It tells you whether the baptisms for that parish have been entered in the IGI. If so, go to FamilySearch www.familysearch.org and search! In this case, the baptisms for East and West Teignmouth are in the IGI, and a search gives us: SAMUEL FURSEY ARTHUR - International Genealogical Index Gender: Male Christening: 14 APR 1811 West Teignmouth, Devon, England Ooh! Lovely! A family name as a middle name! A hint for previous generations! It's not in the South Hams, though! There might be more help on the DEVON list.
