The best evidence I have is the information that my mother gives me. All the data that I have found, my mother had already told me. This includes much of the data that you gave me. She's like a walking encyclopaedia, when it comes to dates. She knew the birth dates and the marriage dates. She also new that Jane Westcott was born in Swimbridge. Considering that she is my mother's grandmother, then I would expect her to know this information. A couple of years ago, we took her to the house where her father grew up, (27 Richmond St. in Barnstable).
When she was a child, she used to visit the house during her holidays. Her father's brother, Redvers and two sisters Annie Justina and Nellie Audrey were living there alongside their parents, Harry and Jane Townsend, (formerly Westacott).
