  Married	I am showing a family here which may be more than one merged. Matthew, Petronella and John make sense as siblings, being baptised in Torbryan in 1580-1585, a parish with no other Gotham events until over a hundred years later. Given there are no further events at Torbryan, it appears that the family left that parish, and the baptisms of Thomas and Samuel in Wolborough follow on nicely. Because a Thomas and Samuel, as well as an Agnes, are then found in Ugborough it appears at least some of the family then moved there. I am guessing that Agnes who married there was the sister of Thomas and Samuel, though she could have been their mother, remarrying. I did think that Thomas the father of Samuel and Thomas was probably the son of William and Joan, baptised in Stokeinteignhead in 1568, especially as he had had a brother Samuel, but this would mean he had married at an unusually young age, and as there were two Thomases of his age in Combeinteignhead, a neighbouring parish to Stokeinteignhead, at the time of the maritime survey of 1619, it now seems more likely that one of them could have been that Thomas.
