Mardon of Kingswear

[Joan Daniell]

Joseph Mardon of Kingswear had a daughter, Amelia Jane born 1840, she married Emmanuel John Fleet. They were my great grandparents. I think that Joseph was married to a Mary Ann Napman or Knapman. I cannot find any info on Joseph or Mary Ann. Can anyone help please?

Hi Jan, Many thanks for your reply. I had more or less come to a full stop but can now get going again.

Happy New Year,
