A Julia (Ann) Havill was baptised 20 Apr 1794 in Broadclyst, father Richard, mother unknown. She married George Pearce 30 Mar 1816 St Paul's Exeter. This was in the presence of Gilbert Havill and Cecil Pearce.
Gilbert`s presence at Julia Ann`s wedding confirms the relationship between Gilbert and Richard. The most probable scenario is that Richard following the birth of his illegitimate daughter Julia Ann in 1794 persuaded his married brother Gilbert living at Kenton to bring her up, leaving Richard free to marry without hindrance in 1799.
