Yes, I've noticed this too. It was a two way traffic though. My GGGrandmother Susan(nah) Griffiths/Carpenter was born Illogen, Cornwall 1788/89 although her younger siblings were born between Chapel Hill, Mon. and Lydney, Glos. Her sister Mary (1793-1864) was married to James Morgan (1787?-1874) at Wedmore, Somerset. They lived at The Incline, Redbrook and are buried at All Saints, Newland. Stone is visible and legible at roughly 4 o'clock between the Church and the main road.

The Morgan family, two branches I think, are what makes the IGI magic. The family jumped off the 2 or 3 pages at me right back to 1536 or nearly so, Wedmore, Somerset. I know Somerset is not Devon but Wedmore is quite far down.
