1.   DALWOOD is a village and county parish in the East Devon district of the English county of Devon. It is approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) away from the nearest town, Axminster, and 5 miles (8.0 km) away from Honiton. Dalwood can be accessed by the nearby A35 road. The village is placed within the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Along with the nearby village of Stockland, until 1842 the village was part of an outlier of the county of Dorset. Dalwood is a small village with a church, a primary school and village hall. St Peter's church is 15th century and was restored in 1881. (Reference Dalwood: from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

All FamilySearch references to Dalwood prior to this date have been converted from Devon to Dorset.

The Bishop's transcripts for Dalwood are available at the LDS for 1731 to 1836 but no Dalwood records prior to this have been found by me. The records in the first seven generations here were obtained from other sources and made available on the internet by Steven Jones. There are some handwritten indexes to Axminster records available which refer in the LDS description to the 'lost parish registers of Devon'. Presumably the information reported in this tree came from documentation obtained from other sources, perhaps before the bombing of Exeter in World War II.
