This is amazing, thank you everyone. There is so much here that I wouldn't have been able to find on my own. I think that 'Bookbox' must be right about his date of birth so I will have to change that, I have never heard of Venn so that is another source that is now available to me. The Church of England records that 'Hanes Teulu' mentioned said that he was at Christ College in 1818 (definitely the right one since it shows him going on to be the perpetual curate at Topsham) If he matriculated in 1815 at Christ College and was then there in 1818 I assume the matriculation was when he qualified to enter. I have an Ancestry account so will check out the record and also get in touch with the librarian at Christ's followed swiftly by the two links kindly provided by 'GrahamSimons'. I can't believe how much more I now know and I am very grateful for all your help.
