Owen Braund Tavistock

[sammie]

Owen Braund does become a fish dealer himself in 1901 and 1911 and is listed as a seaman on marriage cert happy happy

Thank you ladies xx

Here's some more. I noted that on Owen's marriage cert, one of the witnesses is Sarah Kate MENHENITT. She is the wife of Thomas MENHENETT - they married in 1881. William John DEACON (your Owen's wife's father) was a witness at the wedding. Thomas' father is also a Thomas.
In 1853 a Selina MENHENICOTT was baptised at Plymouth, dau of Thomas & Jane.
In 1858 a William Thomas MENHINNICK, son of Thomas & Jane was baptised. So it is possible that Thomas 1858 and Selina 1853 are brother and sister. Sarah HORNER (HONNER) would be the mother of John HORNER - Selina's husband.
In 1901, Owen & wife are living at William John DEACON's house, and a boarder is a Frederick MENHENNITT.

The mystery continues with Owen's mother Selina Braund

1861

She is listed here with her parents William and Mary Ann

But in 1851 in the same house with her parents William and Mary Ann they are not Braund but Toll and I have found the marriage of William Toll and Mary Ann Blithe in Lifton in 1834

Guess I best look for the birth of William Toll/Braund between 1805 and 1810 in Broadwoodwidger to nail him down

[Kay99]

I think you have access to Anc - If you go back on this family tree  it would appear the use of both names might have originated from a John Braund marrying a Grace Toll in 1753??
