Hmm... Mary Ann Norman, who was definitely the daughter of John Norman and Sarah Warren as she was mentioned in the will (she predeceased her father, so what would have been her share went to her daughter), was baptised at St Thomas the Apostle, Exeter, on 13th October 1816. Robert Norman, who I think but am not entirely certain was the one who moved to Swansea and therefore my 3g-grandfather, was baptised at St Mary Major, Exeter, on 29th September 1816. It seems unlikely that the same couple would be having two children baptised at different churches within two weeks of each other - but not impossible, if one or both of them were not baptised until they were a few years old, rather than as babies.
There were plenty of other John Normans getting married in Devon at around the right time, two of them to Sarahs: one to Sarah Gill in Seaton and Beer on 12th August 1808, the other to Sarah Alfred in Ashburton on 17th May 1815.
