Hello Listers:
We are in the middle of researching The Bible Christian Project, and
according to our research, the most often used port for Devon folk was
Plymouth - at least for the Bible Christians, anyway. Some went to Bristol
too. For those with Cornish connections (and most Devon families had some)
Padstow and Fowey were the next most often used.
Hope this helps a few of you.
