GENERAL NOTE:
IGI entry could be an error: note name of father, spelling of mother's name and date of christening is close to Eatha Emma (Eatha is also dubious - could this be Edith?). May be register writing was very poor (or is this a personal entry?)FRC Index however confirms registration and possible marriage in Q3 1894 St Saviour

GENERAL NOTE:
It may not be this John but there is information about a John MORCOMBE who built the town clock at Hartland in 1622-23 and "new made" it in 1657-58 (the accounts suggest it was converted from balance to pendulum). He was clockmaker at Barnstaple from 1622-58. Notes from "Old Clocks and their Makers" by F J BRITTEN and "Watchmakers of the World" by G H BAILLIE.
