KINSMAN, EARLE, WATSON, all Totnes area Particular stubborn is Nicholas Earle, b. about 1810-1820. He isn't on any census anywhere. I only know of his existence because of his own and his daughter's marriage certs, 1838 (Labourer) and 1858 (Mariner) respectively. A family tale says he was a Turnkey at Bodmin Gaol, and that he died and was buried at sea returning injured from the Crimean War. Pam
