I am researching my family history. My Grandmother Bertha Hollett (Nee Wright)1882-1951 born Cofton St Mary Cockwood, married William Hollett (1880-1949)born Blackhawton Devon. Both grandparents died before I was born. My mother suffer from Alzheimers so if anyone in this area can furnish any info re history of family and/or villages I would be most appreciative. Even info as to where to look to get more info. I live in Canada so it is somewhat of a challenge getting info.
Many thanks
Kay Johnson

I am researching the Harris family from Kenton and later Cockwood.**Richard Licence Harris was born at Kenton in 1764 and married Grace Mortimer at Kenton in 1791. They had at least two children Richard Licence and Elizabeth. Richard~ born 1794~ married Maria Cann at Exeter in 1819. Among their 9 children was my GG grandfather John~ born 1824 who married Mary Ann Sercombe about 1844. John was a boot & shoemaker at Cockwood while his wife MaryAnn was a teacher of infants at Cockwood School. John died in 1899 and his wife a month later at Cockwood. One of their sons~ Albert~ born 1854~ married Bessie Holman. They were my G grandparents. Any information on the family especially Grace Mortimer will be appreciated.

On holiday in Exmouth and took the ferry to Stacross~ great crossing both ways and the pubs were well worth the visit.

I was born and spent my early years in Exmouth~ attending the Grammar School until 1940. I left the town in 1950 and now live in Stoke Canon. I would like to hear from any old friends still surviving.
