Narrative

WikiTree has further children, several of which appear to be from a different family in a different parish.

FamilySearch also has several more children, and indeed there are matching transcriptions on the Cornwall OPC website, but the originals do not match up with the transcriptions - eg the transcription states they had a child Ann born abt 1762 and baptised as an adult on the same day as her brother Abraham born abt 1760, but the actual record does not show who the parents of Ann and Abraham were.

The children shown on my tree are the only ones for whom I have been able to find any evidence. I would welcome any help in sorting out the rest please!
