Stuck finding birth record

[Kay99]

This looks like Luton village which is near Ashcombe to the north and might be why he also listed it as  a birthplace  https://maps.nls.uk/view/101444911#zoom=3&lat=2822&lon=3688&layers=BT

Thomas Smale -Anne Knott
Marriage  - 14 Sep 1824  Bishopsteignton
Witnesses William Nott and Richard Boone
Both Bride and Groom of the Parish -Ann signed her name and Thomas made his mark

Awesome, thanks. and I would think William might be Ann's father, giving a bit more info for that side too.

I think you could well be right  - FindMyPast has parish records for Devon and this might Ann

Ann Knott
Baptism 26 Apr 1798 Bishopsteignton
Parents    William and Mary

An earler Ann baptised 1792 with same parents but died the same year

This thread helped me find another James Small and slowly lead me to the one you were asking about... Howdy long detached cousin.


Ah not quite... weird coincidence where this Mary married into the family. Though I do believe Thomas is James' dad which means he also had a sister by the same name as his wife... No incest as I can trace the wife's family.

Would love to see what your tree looks like. I have ended up where you got to.
