Channon Family
- Exeter
Enos CHANNON was my Gt.Gt.Grandfather born in Exeter in abt1823 he married Mary Ann RUDD in Aug 1846 at St.Mary Major, Exeter. Occupation was a vetinary Surgeon.
I would like any information about his father Thomas CHANNON born about 1786 (tho can't find a record of his birth, only have Census to go by)
He married Elizabeth HARRIS in 1805 at St.Thomas the Apostle, Exeter and then, after the death of his wife in 1860, Thomas CHANNON married Elizabeth HOBBS in 1862 in Cornwall.
His occupation is listed as a Vet.Surgeon/Horse Farrier.
Also any info about Thomas CHANNON'S father and siblings would be appreciated as the trail seems to have run dry.
On the 1841 Census there is a George CHANNON b.1820 listed as a son of Thomas CHANNON but there is a George Hubert CHANNON married to Jane WILLS that shows George's father as being George Hubert CHANNON and is a vet too, maybe he's Thomas's brother? Any info on this family would be a big help.

William Tozer - 1770's
- Exeter
Looking for assistance with the origins of a William Tozer said to have been from the Exeter area; probably born circa 1770. He had moved to London by 1799 where his occupation was lathrenderer. According to the IGI William had a wife Margaret and they produced seven children all baptised between 1799 and 1810 at St George the Martyr, Southwark, London. Just where the couple married and Margarets origins are currently not known any suggestions ? In 1804 William became an active follower of the Devon born prophetess Joanna Southcott who he may have known previously in the Exeter area. Although not one of her innermost circle of followers in 1805 William was given the task of building a Southcott chapel in Duke Street, St Georges Fields in London and later became the minister there. It is recorded that an Elizabeth Tozer attended meetings with him in the 1820s but who she was is not clear. William died in 1828.
