I'm looking for any information about my ggrandparents:

William Acford (b. 23 October 1857; Knoll, Braunton, Devon; d. 1934, Birmingham)
(Nb - Surname sometimes spelt 'Ackford')
1st wife - Louisa Taylor (b. 1860, Lambeth, Surrey; d. 1892, Sutton Coldfield, Staffs)
2nd wife - Elizabeth Dorcas Need (b. 1856, Dorsington, Warks.)

Also William's parents:

William Acford (b ca 1835; Bideford, Devon)
Eliza Seage (b 19 July 1835; Charles, Devon)

and his siblings:

Eliza Acford (b ca 1861; Braunton, Devon)
Richard (b ca 1864; Braunton, Devon)
Caroline Acford (b ca 1868; Braunton, Devon)
Elizabeth Acford (b ca 1869; Braunton, Devon)

Does anyone have any information about any of these people, or other family members? Can anyone help, please?
