Hi:

>1. Where is the best place to see the Parish Registers for the Newton
>Abbot/Dawlish area? I assume they are available.

For details of availability of the Wolborough, as with any other Devon
parish, see the relevant GENUKI/Devon parish page -
http://www.cs.ncl.ac.uk/genuki/DEV/Wolborough/ in this case.

>2. Are there any special Family History days (or similar) being held in
>Devon at that time?

The best way I know of getting at least a partial but authoritative answer
to this is via the Devon FHS pages - which are at
http://www.devonfhs.org.uk/ - using the "Meetings" link.

An alternative way of getting to their pages is from the GENUKI/DEvon page,
under "Socieities".

If you have not done so already I suggest you check the Devon surnames
list, and enter your own interest into it. This is at
http://www.gendex.com/users/branscombe/genuki/devon.htm
- it can also be found via GENUKI/Devon under "Genealogy"

The Devon FHS, which has three tines as many members as this list has
subscribers, publishes a members interests list - if yu anticipate
continuing Devon-related research, I suggest you consider joining, as the
fees are very modest.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
