Hi Marlene
I am researching Mortimer/Mortymer in Sandford Devon and some people think it's possible all the Mortimers sprang from them! I went to Witheridge also Bowe and Sandford a few years back to visit the churches and get an idea how close villages were - people moved a lot. Tanner family had a coat of Arms as did Mortimer, I have a will of one Bridget Mortimer als Tanner 16th cent spinster who leaves bequest to brother's son. It's in pdf format you are welcome to have. Nicholas and Thomas appear to be family names.
