Thanks so much for that! It was hidden in plain sight all along!
Re. William EARLAND, I am not certain about his baptism record as he states the following in the censuses [in each one living in Bow]:
Age 30 in 1841; 41 born Bow in 1851; 54 born North Tawton in 1861; 63 born North Tawton in 1871.
On the balance of possibilities, I think he was that bap. 12 Jun 1810 North Tawton.
Catherine KELLAWAY is potentially interesting as I can find only one baptism: 23 Apr 1797 Spreyton but there is a marriage to Nicholas TERRY in Thornbury on 11 Jul 1824. This is quite far away, but he died soon after [buried Sep 1825 Thornbury] - I wondered whether she returned to Bow / Spreyton and remarried but claiming to be a spinster.
On the other hand, as I can find no likely baptism for Nicholas TERRY, it is possible that the Catherine KELLAWAY is an entirely different person.
