Father George VOGWELL, b. Abt 1778, Devon, England , bur. 15 Feb 1851, St. Andrew’s Church, Whitchurch, Devon, England (Age ~ 73 years) Mother Jane Marrack NICHOLAS, b. Abt 1799, d. Mar Q 1844, Tavistock Reg Dist, Devon, England (Age ~ 45 years) Married Between 1815 and 1830 - Can't find a marriage for George and Jane on FMP; if they married in Devon would probably be there (DFHS index transcripts at least), but may have been in a non-conformist chapel not included or over the border in Cornwall.
Also not found baptism of their son John - could be for same reasons as above, or if they weren't married or he was born before they married could have been baptised as John Nicholas. (He was shown as born Devon in the 1841 census, though, and I believe was the John shown in subsequent censuses as born in Tavistock)
