Find Ancestors

Hi all,

I have been searching for MANY years for this man. He is my gggg grandfather. All I know is that he married my gggg grandmother Thirza Snell in c1844 in Brixham and they had a daughter named Miriam in 1845 posthumously. I'm DESPERATE to find out anything quite frankly about him as this is all I have to go on. I don't know his parents or even he was born in Brixham however this is the most likely answer.

Thanks in advance!!!!!!

Hhave you got their marriage cert cos that should name his father .if known

????
