General Notes:
Ann Baker married Frederick Best c 1809 (not at Withycombe Raleigh), this marriage produced James
Adamson Best. Frederick died c. January 1812. Ann then married
Frederick's brother Charles in 1816. Since it was illegal for a widow
to marry her brother in law at that time there were rum goings on here
me thinks!!!!!!!!! (especially as indications are that after Ann died in
1825 Charles promptly packed his bags and left his children to be looked
after by the parish).
Marriage at Exeter St George, 1816, page 8, entry 23

and Ann Best of Littleham in the County of Devon - Widow
were married in the church by Licence this nineteenth day of March 1816.
signed Charles Best and Ann Best
Witnesses were Francis Balili(?or Bable) and Elizabeth Ball
It is possible that Ann's mother (or aunt) was Sarah Baker, who married James Adamson in 1788 - her son with Frederick Best was called James Adamson Best
