Thanks everyone - that was a great help to me - and I really like that bit of info on the theft. The 'Bartlett' side of my family are proving very interesting characters - I wish Hiram Bartlett had been in my direct blood-line instead of uncle as he seems the most interesting of all - I have several newspaper records concerning him. Linda ;-)

Just for info...
Headline: DEVON INTERMEDIATE SESSIONS.
Publication:North Devon Journal
Publication date:Thursday 09 March 1854
Article text:"TRAILS OF PRISONERS. THEFT AT BLACKAWTON. Roger Tucker (on bail) was indicted for stealing a bundle of faggot wood, at Blackawton, the property of Mr. William Bartlett Hambling.—The case appeared to be one of strong suspicion only, and the identity of the wood was not established to the satisfaction of the jury; the prisoner was, therefore, acquitted."

Elizabeth Bake, born and Christened in 1794 at Blackawton, Devon - died and buried in1880 at Blackawton. There seems to be no recorded marriage to William Hambling (1788-1864) (gunsmith, postmaster etc) but they produced 12 children. I am trying to get information on Elizabeth's parents FRANCIS and SARAH BAKER. Anyone any info for me? It looks like another dead end to me. :-(
