Hello, thanks for getting in touch!
Yes I have researched this line, William b1804 and Sarah (Mardon) Knapman are my gggrandparents, they lived their lives in Kingswear and are buried there. William was a mariner and later a market gardener. His son also William b1845 moved to Liverpool to further his maritime career and his descendants (including me, are still here!) Going back further on this line The Knapman's lived in Stoke Gabriel (a village on the banks of the River Dart) going back to the late 1600's After that it is pretty much guesswork I think the family then goes back to Throwleigh on Dartmoor. I have pretty much exhausted what there is from Parish records, there was some old wills but they were destroyed when Hitler bombed Exeter! If I can help you in any way with your research please get in touch.
Kind Regards
Neil Knapman

Cheers
