Hello there
William Dawe married (Jo)hannah Hunt in Blackawton in 1816 (witnesses John andGrace Hunt - Johanna's father and sister) and they had a number of children in the parish. He died in 1835 and his age indicated he should have been born about 1787.
His children's names are:
William Hunt Dawe
Elizabeth D
Robert Hunt D
Marina D
Sampson D
Ellen D
John D
Priscilla D
Henry D
After his death the family moved to Stoke Fleming.
I am unable to find a baptism for William in the time around 1787 nearby - can anyone help please?
As an aside, Johanna's parents were called John and Elizabeth
Many thanks
Ashley

I note that on his marriage record William was of the parish of Blackhawton. The births for the parish are on FindMyPast, the first Dawe baptism there was his son William in 1817.
Like you I cannot find a baptism anywhere near that area. Assuming there was some sort of naming pattern the only baptism was 1 Jan 1790 at Crediton, father William but sadly the mother was Martha.
There are 3 others around 1787 at Marystowe, Bere Ferrers & Otterton, plus one Daw at Washfield.

Many thanks for checking Colin - you;ve come up with similar stuff to my self. Can I presume that FindMyPast was the source for this?
Cheers

Hi Ashley, FindMyPast was the source, I also checked the surrounding counties with similar results particularly Cornwall. I can only guess that he was not baptised in Blackhawton as the records there are very good around time and earlier.
