John Smaldon/Smallden
John is the current best choice for my 5th great grandparent, but I am not in the least convinced he is my ancestor.
Baptism, marriage (to Mary) & burial all currently unknown. Children: 1751 John Slimbridge 1752 Ann Chittlehampton 1754 William Chittlehampton 1756 William Slimbridge 1758 Mary Chittlehampton 1763 Elizabeth Chittlehampton 1765 Sarah Slimbridge 1768 Agnes Slimbridge 1771 George Slimbridge His daughter Agnes was bp 12 May 1768 in Swimbridge, Devon. She is the only Agnes Smaldon baptised in Devon on family search, but this is because the local bishop would not permit the mormons to transcribe the registers, so everything is from transcripts in the West Country Studies Library. My ancestor Agnes Smaldon was married and buried in Chulmleigh, Devon. Her burial suggests a dob circa 1768. Her children were Elizabeth, Sarah, Mary & three Samuels. As her husband was called John and I know nothing of his parents I have no idea who the children were named after. Slimbridge is not near Chulmleigh, but Devon has various unhabitable bits, so the move may not be as extreme as it looks on the map.

There are a few records on Family Search, which may be helpful - perhaps the bishop changed his mind!
John Smaldon or Trout, baptised 3 January 1730, Swimbridge, Devon. Father: John Smaldon or Trout. John Smalldon married Mary Collins, 5 November 1750, Landkey, Devon. There is a marriage for John Smaldon to Ann Howard on 16 August 1778 in Chittlehampton - this may be Agnes's brother. The couple had a son named John, baptised 8 August 1780, who died on 4 February 1795. I also noticed that both villages seem to be part of the Online Parish Clerk scheme - there are contact details for the person to get on touch with on Genuki.
