Hi Listers, I'm a new subscriber to this list and wondered if anyone on the list is connected to this Devon branch of the TOWELL family, if so I'd be pleased to hear from them? I'm particularly interested in a William Tozer TOWELL, who was born on 6 May 1856, (Bapt. 30 Jun 1855 at Topsham), who joined the Royal navy in 1872. His parents were John TOWELL (born c.1820 at Topsham) and Fanny TOWELL nee MITCHELL (born c.1825 at Bridport). Elder siblings I know of, all bpt. Topsham, were James 1845; Charlotte 1847; Samuel 1851; John 1853 (and possibly twins, Joseph and Elizabeth 1849). Best wishes Brian
