RESEARCH NOTES
- Did she marry a Samuel Pennington (bapt April 27 1800 Devon, Buried on 13 Aug. 1858 in Woolsery - Woolfardisworthy West - Devon) in 1819 as one researcher suggests? If so, their children may have been:
Ann (c1820), Mary (c1822), Samuel (1824), John (1826-1911), William (1828), Andrew (c1833), Avril? (c1834), Eliza (c1837)
- The 1851 census gives us Elizabeths birthplace as Poughill and her age as 56, also my cousin spoke to the vicar of Poughill in the late 1970s and he found a marriage between a Samuel Pennington and Elizabeth Cornish in 1819 although I dont have the exact date.
