Family William PIKE, b. Abt 1761, Stokenham, Devon, England , d. 23 Apr 1837, Torcross, Stokenham, Devon, England (Age ~ 76 years) Banns of marriage From 1 Jun 1788 to 15 Jun 1788 St. Michael and All Angels’ Church, Stokenham, Devon, England [2] Married 21 Jul 1788 St. Michael and All Angels’ Church, Stokenham, Devon, England - William Pike signed and Mary made her mark; both witnesses appear on other marriages, John Sayes (? best guess) and John Gardner
A William and Mary Pike had a son John baptised in Charleton on 24 Feb 1805; I don't believe it was this Wm and Mary - esp as they already had a son John, but could well be a relation (although Pike is generally a common name there weren't a lot in Stokenham and neighbouring villages; I don't know what became of some others e.g. this Wm's 1st cousin Wm bapt 1753 - could he be the father?) I came across looking thro' baptisms in the PRs (microfiche images) but South Hams website confirms it as the only Pike baptism in Charleton, 1730-1812.
