RESEARCH NOTES:
- One source ists 3 children: John, Dorccas, Masry (1795-1877).
- Another source lists only 2 children listed for Philip and Ann Cornish: John Cornish (1781) and Mary Cornish (1795) - that's a big gap between children. The Cornwall OPC site only lists 2 in this time frame for these parents (8 more children later between 1816-1831). I found additional baptisms in Bradworthy Devon in the familysearch bapt records :
William Cornish bapt 27 Nov 1792
Ann Cornish bapt 2 Dec 1785
Philip Cornish bapt 24 Aug 1788
Philip Cornish bapt 04 Nov 1790
Dorcas Cornish bapt 02 Nov 1783 (Dorcas was the 3rd child listed (no dates), and this fits the timeframe).
So if this is the same family, Philip and Ann Cornish moved back and forth across the Cornwall/Devon border a couple of times. What does everyone think?
Sheila’s response: I think you are right Claudia, well spotted. Ann Wickett probably came from the Bradworthy Wickett family but it is only fields that separate Bradworthy from Kilkhampton and the family links between both parishes were very strong.

- Daughter of Joseph Tucker and Mary Down.
- There were two John Tucker famillies in Morenstow in the 1750s. One, apparently Joseph’s brother, was also surnamed Tucker-otherwise-Tape. They obviously used their Mother’s maiden name to differentiate the two families. In the IGI there is a record of Charity Tap (SIC) to James Tucker on Sept 26, 1733 and the birth of their son John on Nov 5, 1733, both on Sandford, Devon. There were quite a number of Taps, Tappes, and Tapes in the area of Sandford, which is south of Barnstaple.
- Grace’s father Joseph Tucker married Mary Brutton in Kilkhampton Apr 24, 1755.
