Where is North Hill in Devon?
Trying to find a H Creber born June 1815 North Hill Devon.

Which Parish or area should I search?

Thanks

I know there is a North Hill in Cornwall. Is there an area in Devon called North Hill?

Not according to the GenUKI Devon Towns & Parishes List?
Nor on the Devon Gazetteer - apart from:

North Hill (farm) - see in Chagford
North Hill Place (street) - see in Plymouth


Where did you see a reference to North Hill, Devon?

North Hill in SE Cornwall is located between Liskeard and Launceston, so is not more than 15 miles from the Devon border.

Hi

I lived in Plymouth, Devon for over 20 years. North Hill was to the south of Mutley Plain:

How often did I pass that way  :)

PS - think it might be Plymouth, St Andrew  or Charles

Note also spelling variants for the name, e.g. Crebar.

Do you really only have an initial (H) for your Creber?
Where did the birthdate info come from?

FindMyPast has a Henry Creber baptised 1816 in Plymouth.
