James and Mellan were both buried in Walkhampton though living in Meavy parish (and near the Bickleigh border, the opposite side from the part of Meavy bordering Walkhampton). I guess this was to be in an area of family graves. Possibly they had children buried in Walkhampton when they were living there (I haven't tried to check), or James' parents and wider family may all have been buried there (although he was born in Cornwall Williams was a particularly common name in Walkhampton and it would not suprise me if his family weren't from there, and had simply lived for a while in Cornwall).
