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!!!!!!
