Thank you Janet. I've got a few maps of Devon from the 1850s and later which Im going to check. I thought the church was IN the village of BB not south of it. But then I've never benn there but look forward to making a trip across the pond.

Hoarestone (modern spelling) is/was a fram in the south of Buckland Brewer parish - about 3 miles south of the village of Buckland Brewer, where the parish church is. Historically it could have referred to the farm and associated labourers' cottages. Hope this helps.

Thank Janet. I've been searching for Horrestone for years. Have seen it spelled many diff ways and assumed it was a town and could never find it. Im curious could you be more specific where Horrestone is (if you know). Would that have been a someones farm like I would think in contemporary terms or what?

Thank you Janet. I have a copy of the BB baptism for Thomas Austin. I have found Ohio census with this family and shows the children I listed but have not been able to find baptisms in Devon for them. Future searches I guess. Glad to have joined this group and would like to get to more about Devon and visit someday.

Hello Gary,

Thomas Austin was the son of George Austin (c. 1750-1823) and Mary Peard  (c.1750-1817). George and Mary married in teh neighbouring village of Parkham on 12 April 1775. Thomas Austin was baptised in Buckland Brewer 1 May 1791. I have only got one other child for George and Mary (but haven't looked outside BB) and that is George baptised 17 Nov 1786. Thomas Austin lived at Horrestone and then at Tithacott (which is spelt in many ways). Horrstone is a farm and Tithacott is a small hamlet about 2 miles outside the village of BB iteslf. BB is a large parish and teh vilage is in the north west corner of teh parish so you could live in BB parish but be 3 miles away from the village.

HI Gary,

Welcome to the group. My BB family lines are mainly the Cole family mixed with a few others.

Or maybe Jenkin was a step father's name. How annoying.

Hi, yes i saw that baptism on LDS website, the 1841, 51, snd 61 census shows she was born 1797 +/- 1 year, and all say Buckland Brewer. Strange, unless she was a widow perhapswhen she married? She married Samuel Frain when she was 20 in 1817.

Thank you for looking

Susanna wasn't baptised in Buckland Brewer unless you have her date of birth very wrong - there's one baptised in 1789.
