TAUNTONs of Axminster, Devon, England

I am doing some research into the Taunton family from Axminster, Devon on behalf of a friend. Her 2nd great grand uncle was Thomas Taunton b:1812 who married Jun ΒΌ 1840 St George Southwalk, Surrey Margaret Clarke b: 1814 Kent the daughter of Major Robert Clarke & Margaret. My friend's family connection is through William the brother of Thomas. William married 19 July 1831 Sardinian Ambassador's Chapel & St Andrews, Holborn Catherine Jane Fraser bap: 1 Sep 1803 St Andrew, Holborn, London. She was the daughter of John Fraser & Elizabeth. From a family contact I have the parents of Thomas & William as John Taunton b: 1782 who married 23 April 1806 Spetchley, Worcester, Sarah Sanders b: 1776 with 3 more children: John 1807 - 1823; Caroline Mary 1810 - 1842; Emily Sarah 1814 - 1898. I do have more info bringing the family forward, as well as dating back to 1691 although this needs to be checked. I would be interested to exchange / share any info to confirm what I already have is correct.
