Thorncombe   formerly a part of Devon moved to Dorset in 1842 or 1844 (depending upon secondry source) by Act of Parliament in exchange for Stockland and Dalwood:  however had already been transferred to diocese of Salisbury in 1836

There is no Thorncombe in Devon. It is definitely in Dorset and try as I might (and I have) I can't see where the mistake first came about.

As someone has pointed out, there were a number of Bowditch families in the area at that time and although I have no information on this particular family research strongly suggests that they were all related. I have Bowditch information dating back to Robert Bowditch (1650-1711, Thorncombe. There is far too much to post here and it may not be what you're looking for but if it is, pm me and you're welcome to what I have.
