Hi Sherrell:

These are years, not page numbers - but in fact I've found some
systematic errors with this index, so I'm withdrawing it for the
moment.

Luckily there is an index, by page number, in the original
publication. Using this, the Branton marriage entries are:

John Lang married Sarah Branton, Aug 17, 1704
James Branton mariner married Mary Courtis spinster both of Clovelly
by banns Dec 22nd 1814. Both made mark. Witnesses James Harris and
Anne Waters.

This I don't have, I'm afraid - but I'm sure someone else on DEVON-L
will have it.

cheers
