Acknowledgement

Susan Old, the Online Parish Clerk for St Columb Major supplied a wonderful response to a query on Colen Tippet's baptism. She found us Ann Bettison
Her response to a later query whether she had anything on Elizabeth's parents was as follows:
I think they were John Wakeford and Grace but I have no proof as yet.  They were producing in St Mawgan at that time but I have not got that far back in the register yet.
The LDS has the following children christened in St Mawgan for the couple Susan suggests
Breget      01 Nov 1686
Jane         07 Jul 1689
William     20 Dec 1673
       so rate John and Grace a 50% chance
An email from Hilary Picton supplies another child to this marriage, Grace baptised 9 April 1693. Just looking at the dates, John and Grace could easily be grandparents 

Research Notes

An email from Cathy Rhodes has Samuel Harris marrying Elizabeth Pomery about 1710 with a similar list of children to the ones above
However all I can find in the LDS or OPC databases is the Mawgan in Pyder marriage to Elizabeth Wakeford. Mawgan in Pyder is 3 miles WNW of St Columb
The children's baptisms do not give Elizabeth's maiden name
