bullet  General Notes:

Burrington registers list for 25 Dec 1828, Grace Baker, daur of William and Ann Blackmore of Town. Father was a schoolmaster (same as brother William and confirming info on brother's marriage certificate)
- by inspecting other entries that state "Town" and comparing with the 1841 census, it appears this meant the centre of the village, rather than Town Bridge
