Hi Chris, my husband's Wakeham family are from South Brent and start with John Wakeham born c 1810. He married Mary Ann (Dalley?) in Aug 1830. They went on to have two children (that we know of so far) Mary G Wakeham born 1837 and Thomas Bradridge Wakeham born Q4 1838 both in South Brent. I've had a look in our file and cannot find a Mary Wakeham born 1780 but then again we haven't got any further than 1810 - so with more investigation we could maybe find a link. Not sure whether you have the 1851 Census CD for Devon so I had a look for your Mary Wakeham and found that she is indeed listed as the wife of Edward Rossiter. Please let me know if you already have the info from this census otherwise I will forward it on to you.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Ana
