RESEARCH NOTES:
- One source ists 3 children: John, Dorccas, Masry (1795-1877).
- Another source lists only 2 children listed for Philip and Ann Cornish: John Cornish (1781) and Mary Cornish (1795) - that's a big gap between children. The Cornwall OPC site only lists 2 in this time frame for these parents (8 more children later between 1816-1831). I found additional baptisms in Bradworthy Devon in the familysearch bapt records :
William Cornish bapt 27 Nov 1792
Ann Cornish bapt 2 Dec 1785
Philip Cornish bapt 24 Aug 1788
Philip Cornish bapt 04 Nov 1790
Dorcas Cornish bapt 02 Nov 1783 (Dorcas was the 3rd child listed (no dates), and this fits the timeframe).
So if this is the same family, Philip and Ann Cornish moved back and forth across the Cornwall/Devon border a couple of times. What does everyone think?
Sheila’s response: I think you are right Claudia, well spotted. Ann Wickett probably came from the Bradworthy Wickett family but it is only fields that separate Bradworthy from Kilkhampton and the family links between both parishes were very strong.
On 15 Sep 1780 when Philip was 21, he married Ann WICKETT in Launcells, Cornwall, England. Born ca 1760.
They had the following children:
240i.
John CORNISH (1781-)
241ii.
242iii.
Ann CORNISH (1785-)
243iv.
244v.

Mary CORNISH (1795-1877)
138. Samuel CORNISH (Mary ADAMS5, John4, Mary NEALE3, John2, Bennett1). Born in 1761 in Kilkhampton, Cornwall, England. Christened on 16 Oct 1761 in Kilkhampton Parish Church, Kilkhampton, Cornwall, England. Samuel died in probably Kilkhampton, Cornwall, England, in Jan 1837; he was 76. Buried on 14 Jan 1837 in Kilkhampton, Cornwall, England.

Samuel's burial 14 Jan 1837 at Kilkhampton, abode Churchtown, aged 77 (ref findmypast).
On 17 Nov 1786 when Samuel was 25, he married Grace TUCKER / TAPE in Kilkhampton Parish Church, Kilkhampton, Cornwall, England. Born in 1763 in Morwenstow, Cornwall, England. Christened on 20 May 1763 in Morwenstow, Cornwall, England. Grace died in Probably Kilkhampton, Cornwall, England, in Mar 1834; she was 71. Buried on 5 Mar 1834 in Kilkhampton Church, Kilkhampton, Cornwall, England.

- Daughter of Joseph Tucker and Mary Down.
- There were two John Tucker famillies in Morenstow in the 1750s. One, apparently Joseph’s brother, was also surnamed Tucker-otherwise-Tape. They obviously used their Mother’s maiden name to differentiate the two families. In the IGI there is a record of Charity Tap (SIC) to James Tucker on Sept 26, 1733 and the birth of their son John on Nov 5, 1733, both on Sandford, Devon. There were quite a number of Taps, Tappes, and Tapes in the area of Sandford, which is south of Barnstaple.
- Grace’s father Joseph Tucker married Mary Brutton in Kilkhampton Apr 24, 1755. That Mary died in Morenstow May 14, 1761, so Grace was the daughter of the Mary Down who Joseph married Nov 29, 1762 in Barnstaple, Devon. Morenstow and Barnstaple are on the water so travel between would not have been too difficult.
