Barnstaple/Torrington. SMYTH Births/Marriages

[Minniej]

Hi im new and ive ive done this wrong then a thousand appologies   Im from Tasmania and have been researching many branches of my family tree.

I have information for my SMYTH side but i am stuck on births and marragies for a few names.

Allen Blackmore Smyth was born in 1835 in Torrington. (barnstaple)

His Father was a George  (also refered to as richard)Smythe who married Ann Blackmore (daughter of a richard blackmore)

Would there be a record of their marraige?
And also their dates of birth and deaths.

Same for Georges parents who were John Smyth who married a Joanna boyle.

Johns father i believe was a Thomas smyth. (i have no information )

thank you very much if this is obtainable 

George smyth and Ann blackmore where the Parents of CPT Allen Blackmore Smyth/e Who was born in Torrington in 1835

The marriage 'probably took place in Ann BLACKMORE's parish of North Huish. There is an online parish clerk who may be able to help you - she has access to the PRs. See details on the GENUKI website under genealogy at: http://genuki.cs.ncl.ac.uk/DEV/NorthHuish/index.html

Hi Nicki

I see you've got sight of the 1851 census now, which confirms Allen's birthplace as Torrington. When I get the chance I'll dig around a bit in the NDRO for a baptism - possibly a parish near Torrington?

There is someone with a tree on Ancestry researching the same family - I assume its not you as they seem to have taken the Smyths back several generations further in Marwood

Hi Nicki

The details are in Ancestry's "One World Tree" - I'm not sure what that is or how its put together, but the details are as follows:
George Smyth (b Jan 1802) Marwood
Ann Blackmore (B 1802) North Huish
Marriage 5 Feb 1825. Children:

Elizabeth
Mary
Eleanor 1832 Marwood
Allen Blackmore 1835 Torrington
Charles Blackmore 1836 Shirwell

George's parents are given as:
John Smyth & Johanna Heale - dates of birth guessed as 1761 & 1764. Dates of marriage & death as you have them.

Children: Elizabeth (c1786) John (c1794) George (c1802) Ann (c1804)

John' s parents are:
Edward Smyth (c1734-14 May 1830) Marwood &
Wilmot Lock - married Martinhoe 28 Feb 1761
Children:

John (c1761)
Thomas (1762) West Down
Susannah (Nov 1764 Marwood)
Mary (Dec 1766) Marwood
George (Mar 1769) Marwood
Jenny (Dec 1771) Marwood


Thomas' father is given as Edward Smyth - no dates

I've no idea where this originated or how accurate it may be

This si the bit that is confusing me  greatly. AS on his seamans ticket he has listed barnstaple but he names his house Torrington after where he lived.

so any info you could find if any would be greatly apprecited
