Her daughter Mary married Joseph Gibbs on 5 April 1830 in Tiverton, Devon (Parish Records collection on Find My Past) It doesn't show the parents names though :(
Not sure where I can go from here.

I am awaiting the birth certificate of OH's G grandfather, son of Mary & Joseph Gibbs, which should tell me Mary's true maiden name.

No witnesses listed on the FMP transcription unfortunately Kite.

That baptism looks interesting, now why couldn't I find that? Thank you.

Oooh I've also found, on FreeReg, a marriage between Robert Hellier and Sarah Stevens at Wellington St John on 12 Feb 1806. Worth further investigation I think :)
It states they were 'sojourners' which I take to mean they were only in the area temporarily and not residents.
