Spear family in Crediton area

[LVSue]

I'm trying to trace the family of my husband's GG Grandmother, Emma SPEAR. She was born in Crediton (according to various censuses) in about 1836. I've not been able to find her birth record yet though. She apparently had a sister, Mary Jane SPEAR (born about 1842), who lived with Emma and her husband after 1881. Emma married John SELDON at Nymet Rowland on 26 August 1861 and they lived at Knowle, Crediton.
I can find no trace of either Emma or Mary Jane prior to 1871 census, and have no idea of their parents names. Can anyone please help?

Thanks
Sue

Have you looked for Mary Jane Spear on the LDS, they list a few. There is also one but born Plymouth on FreeBMD
