Stockland Genealogical Message Board: Post #19, 2002-04-24

I am looking for information about my great grandfather John Elston who was born in Stockland in 1815, specifically whom his parents were? He married aMelia Norris in 1836 in Kilmington and subsequently married Elizabeth Bromfield in 1868 in Exeter. I know that by 1851 he was living in Exeter. Henry, the first child of John and Amelia was also born in Stockland. I understand that there is also a link to the Newbery family but apart from hearing that there were lots of children (13?), I have no idea what the link is. If anyone has any information that can help me I would be extremely grateful.
