Died 1857 Newton Abbott,  Married to Mary,  father of Elias Emmett born 14 April 1826.  Looking for marriage and birth data and Mary's maiden name.  Names of parents on birth records most helpful

Hi Eveeryone

Following your advice I have progressed my search. 

I think that John Emmett married to Mary Garrett is the son of John Emmett born 9 Jan 1748  married to Mary Sheppard on 3 May 1776 in Abbots Kerswell. 

There appears to have been a slight difference in the name - Abbotts Kerswell now written Abbotskerswell - does this affect searches?

Hi keyboard86, judi2636 and mazi.
Thank you for your assistance and advice.  As I said I gave up with Ancestry.com and now I am encouraged. I shall be using ssome of the sources recommeneded by Rootschat to find out the parents of John Emmett using births and marriages.

I really appreciated the help I received.  Several years ago while using Ancestry.com I was stumped and gave up.  I'm a beginner and with poor search techniques.  In fact I have trouble finding my way around Rootschat so, I repeat, I am most grateful.
Now I would like to find out more about John Emmett, Elias's father.  Should I put in another search or stay here?
