• Notes

  The text in the baptism register is not completely clear, but Drewsteignton I think is the only possible interpretation of a birth location. See also notes about sister Joane The text says: "Alexander the sonne of Thomas Jackman ?of? [unclear]?y parish of ?Drewsteignton? was baptised the 29th day of May" The unclear part is only 2 letters, and maybe nothing at all. But the "y" seems quite distinct. There are possible burials in South Tawton in 1735, 1739 and 1740 but there is nothing to say if these or any other burials are the right ones.
