I'm guessing you are referring to the IGI again. The IGI is not complete in years or parishes for every county. And this is even worse for Devon; something to do with the local church authorities not allowing the Mormons access to the records I think.
Your research with Devon is not going to be quick and easy, especially online. Are you familiar with the Genuki website? The Devon page has a lot of good information and links.
Not finding a baptism doesn't mean he wasn't baptised, just that the records for whichever parish he was baptised in aren't on the IGI.
Your options to confirm your research are either doing it yourself via your nearest LDS family history centre, or hiring a researcher to go to either the Devon Archives or the Westcountry Studies Library, both of which are in Exeter.
If you are unfamiliar with any of this, I can help you on the right direction.

Hi again, I seem to have come to a dead end so think I could do with being pointed in the right direction please.  Also as I live offshore I cannot visit places myself at this time, thank you

Hollytree, if you look back at my last post on this thread, I suggested what I think is the best option for you.
When you say you "live offshore" what do you mean? That shouldn't stop you from being able to access the LDS records I mentioned.
This way is a little slower than using the internet, but just as much fun, I think. As I said before, I am more than happy to guide you through the process.

By offshore I mean the Channel Islands so just not able to visit places as and when.  Best option at the moment is hiring a researcher to help me would be very helpful, thanks

Hi,
Have you seen details of the online indexes on the Devon Family History Society Website?
HTH,
Megran.

Well I'm in Australia, so I'm more offshore than you!  
I don't suppose there is an LDS family history centre on any of the islands is there? Pardon my ignorance of course.
Otherwise, you may have to fork out for a researcher to go the Devon Archives or the Westcountry Studies Library. It is not normally a cheap exercise, and most charge by the hour (including travel time), so you would be best to find one in or near Exeter. The couple of times I have resorted to researchers, I got their names out of one of the family tree magazines; there are several that all have a section for researchers to advertise in. A tip from me is to not go for the bigger ads; the smaller ads do just as good a service.
What you need to do is to ask what are their fees, and what level of service they provide. Some charge extra for photocopies etc. Then you need to be very explicit in what you need them to do; provide as much information as you can. I f I were you, I would first get them to check the Newton St Cyres parish register for the marriage of John Haydon and Sarah Glandvill, and banns if any. These records could give John's home parish. And then your researcher can follow that up.

I hope I have been able to point you in the right direction. Like I said before, I will help if I can. Just ask.

Megran, are you talking about the indexes they have for baptisms, marriages and burials? I don't think you can get much information online; you have to send away, at cost. And being an index, it may not provide the information Hollytree needs to confidently place her John Haydon.

Cheers,
Darren

Mind you, Hollytree, you can always post a lookup request on the Devon board on here. Some kind Rootschatter might have the information at hand, or might be willing to look up for you at the record office. If you do post there, keep your request simple though, otherwise no one will want to do it for you.

My Haydon connection starts with Ann Haydon born 1772, my 4 x Great Grandmother married Thomas Sharland born 15 Nov 1769, Marriage took place at Stockleigh English, Devon 1 April 1794, now Im trying to find out Ann's Parents and her ancestors - any help gladly appreciated, this is the information I have found so far not a 100% if its correct.

Possible parents John Haydon and Sarah Glanvill, have been attached to many trees on ancestry as I have a tree on there.

Her grandparents maybe Nathaniel Haydon married Mary Stevens 13 April 1737 Crediton, Devon.

Her Great Grandparents might be Samuel Haydon married Mary Hammond 27 Nov 1682 Crediton, Devon.

Her Great Great Grandparents I think might be Robert Haydon married Hannah Keene 13 Aug 1654 Crediton, Devon.

Her Great Great Great Grandparents maybe Robert Haydon born 1595 married Mary Ridd in 1623 Crediton, Devon but I dont have a marriage date for them, and I dont have a birth record for Robert either.

and Ann Haydon's Great Great Great Great Grandparents maybe Robert Haydon born 1560 married Joan Paulet. in 1585 Devon.

Would appreciate any help with the above.

Thanks
