Where is Torringdon?

[mollipops]

Help! Excuse my aussie ignorance, but I'm trying to trace my family history and I've come up with a birth listing for my grt grt grandfather in Torringdon (1847) but need to know which district this is in. Can't seem to find much except a golf course by doing a google search. Anyone??

There's a Torrington (ie with a 't' somewhere in Devon.

No idea where that came from!

There is also a Thorrington in Essex.

Thanx guys! Those old certificates are really hard to decipher. While I'm here is there such a place as Taunton? It looks like Saunton but that doesn't seem right...

Taunton is in Somerset.

There is a Saunton in Devon
