TOWNSEND deaths in Puriton

[Aussie possum]

I am wondering if anyone has access to old newspapers to see if there were any obits for the following deaths occurring in Puriton:-

William Townsend, aged 33
burial 20th Nov 1864 at Puriton, and his wife....

Louisa Townsend
burial 4th Dec 1870

I am hoping some obits might provide a clue as to whether William connects to my Devon Townsends.  He is listed on the 1861 census at Huntspill, as being born Devon Culmstock, but I have not found him on the 1851 or 1841 census.  The birthplace on the 1861 census may be incorrect. 

Thanks

Have you found their marriage? Cert will give fathers names and occuption which might help link him in, or not

Thanks, lizdb.
I have the details from free bmd site, but was hoping to come by the info by other means.  I don't usually get certifs unless it is my main line.  However, it remains an option, thats for sure.
