Find Ancestors

Thanks I will have a look there.

Have you looked on freereg.org.uk?
I found some baptisms on this site and a marriage for Somerset where I could not find anything pre 1837 anywhere else.
Good luck

GEORGE WEST - International Genealogical Index

so this looks to be a good possibility for parents marriage as fits with date and place of christening:-

GEORGE WEST - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Marriage: 25 AUG 1822 Townstal Or St Clement, Dartmouth, Devon, England
Spouse: ANN ALFORD

In 1851 census she was living in North Wotton so maybe someone misunderstood. Happens sometimes, that's why it's always important to verify anything anybody tells you and to confirm with at least one cert. but looks as though we're on the right track now.

............so if you are sure that the Louisa you are looking for married George Guppy, then I would say that this is the family you are looking for. What made you think she was born in North Wotton, Somerset?
