    • Only seen in DFHS and Dartmoor Press indexes so far (would expect to be on FMP in Plymouth and West Devon collection - presumably not yet indexed - 18 Aug 2012)
      Clearly Joan's surname is hard to read (or missing) in the marriage PR entry.

    Family Mary WILLCOCKS,   d. Yes, date unknown 
    Married 24 Oct 1831  The Parish Church, Stoke Damerel, Devon, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location 
    • From PR image (on FMP, viewed 18 Aug 2012):
      "Ambrose Matticott of this Parish, Farmer and Mary Willcocks of this Parish, Widow were married in this Church by Banns with consent of October in the Year One Thousand Eight Hundred and Thirty One By me Wm ?? Aubyn Rector
      This Marriage was solemnized between us Ambrose Matticott Mary Willcocks [both signed]
      In the presence of George Parnall  -  Geo Nettle  No. 348"

      Just how many times did Ambrose marry?
      I'm sure this is his marriage, since he was married to a Mary at the time of the 1841 census. But there were also marriages of:
      "Ambrose Mattacott" in 1795 (in Plympton St Mary, to Sarah Harris (image on FMP), when this Ambrose would have been aged 31),
      "Ambrose Matticott" to Ann Hancock in 1808 (12 May) in Eggbuckland (no image on FMP, as of 20 Aug 2012),
      to Ann Cross in 1815 (image on FMP), also in Eggbuckland
      Neither the bapt nor the burial index on FMP (as of 18 Aug 2012) show any other Ambroses, nor are there any others to be found in the 1841 census
      Were all 4 marriages this Ambrose?!
