Topsham is very near Exeter about 50-60 miles from Tavistock. I should be going to the records office sometime this week.

Hi, I think the marriage would have been in Devon, because the first two children were born in Tavistock, Charlotte was born in Topsham but I can't find it on the map i have looked at, so don't know if it's close to Tavistock or not, but marriages usually take place in the brides parish don't they? I did find a ref to a Charlotte Arm at one time,but don't know were, I gave them to my MIL, it's her mothers family, she's since died and it's dissapeared, serves me right for not keeping a record myself.Gill
