Asa, I bet there were lots of intermarriages in Branscombe! I grew up in Honiton, and even in the 1950s there was a high level of intermarriage amongst the farming community. There were some farmers who hadn't travelled much further than the local market town.
Branscombe is a lovely village and I have many happy memories of my childhood and taking my own children there.
I'm pleased you were able to sort out your family. I do like helpful vicars/rectors/curates.
