      "John Wreford and Thomazin Gotham Both of this
      Parish were
      Married in this Church by Banns
      this third Day of January in the Year One Thousand seven Hundred
      and sixty four by me Peter Tucker [Curate]
      This Marriage was John Wreford
      solemnized between Us Thomazin Gotham
      In the John Page
      Presence of Wm Steer"(n.b. while it could have been another Thamzin, 1st cousin to this one, who married John Wreford it seems unlikely for a couple of reasons.
      Firstly, a Thomazin GOTHAM was buried in Morchard Bishop in 1798, with her age given as 63 in the burial register. This Thamisin and her cousin would seem to be the only possibilities to be the one buried in 1798. This would fit the other Thomasin well, as she was baptised in 1735, but be c. 6 years out for this one.
      Secondly, a witness at the marriage was one John PAGE. This Thamisin had a brother-in-law with this name. Whilst he could have been a witness as a "cousin-in-law", it is far more likely he performed this act as a brother-in-law).
