I wonder if anyone is researching the surname TAWTON? My gt gt grandfather was Robert Tawton and was baptised in Broadclyst in 1800. His parents are John Tawton and Mary.He subsequently moved to Bristol where my gt grandfather was born when Robert was in his 60s and on his second marriage. There are several possibilities for John Tawton and Mary, the most promising being a Mary Matthews of Topsham. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I spotted a John Tawton died Bristol 24.7.1831,@58yrs could he have gone to live there too? You need to find death of Mary to see which Mary Matthews she might be, as there are a lot!! Marriage entry might confirm if they were from a different parish.
