Joyce There is a marriage on the IGI of a John McDowell to Jane Jervis in Stoke Damerel on 03 Oct 1815 - could these be your John's parents? And I also wondered if the 1849 death is John Snr, as your John would be 34. He may have died young of course, but it might be his father? FreeBMD give a birth ref for Mary Ann Gerry 1837 Dec Okehampton 10 p160. Helen

There's an 1841 census for Eng & Wales, but I think it isn't indexed, and also a lot of the images are v. difficult to decipher. Helen
