    • Banns of marriage between William Nosworthy and Ann Cleave were published on the 10th, 17th and 24th of September 1775. The said William Nosworthy of this parish and Ann Cleave of the same, were married in this church by banns the 10th day of October 1775 by me, Robert Taylor, Minister of Manaton. Both made their marks in the presence of William Cleave and Nathaniel Tremilla.

    Family Anne Brinning,   b. Abt 1781,   d. Yes, date unknown 
    Married 27 Jun 1805  Buckfastleigh, Devon Find all individuals with events at this location 
    • The rationale that it was John Nosworthy, son of William and Ann, who married Ann Brinning is based on the 1851 and 1861 censuses which state John was born in Widecombe in the Moor and are age appropriate; also, his age at burial was 84 in 1862, which supports a birth around 1771. Historical documentation of his son who immigrated to Canada in 1852 provides further support for this claim.
