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
