Looking for added info on John Pope Birth 17 SEP 1739 • Winkleigh Devon and Elizbeth Skinner B Eggesford, Devon
I believe they are my 3rd great grandparents. I have a marriage 17 Jul 1774 in Eggesford and have copies of a Bann and a marriage document. The officiant was from Morchard Bishop and witnesses were George Davey and William Soull ( unsure about his last name). Seems I am unable to attach the copies
I have no parents for Elizabeth. I believe John Pope's parents were William Pope and Joan Lake but this is anecdotal.
I believe there were the following children
Joan Pope 1774–? Possibly married a Thomas Rogers
Baptized August 27, 1774 Coldridge, Devon
Mary Pope 1775–
Baptized 25 Jul 1775 Brushford

Baptized 25 Oct 1778 Brushford
Married a Joanna Hooper 30 Mar 1815 Winkleigh Devon
William Pope 1781–1800

Possible burial 24 Feb 1800 Brushford
Thomas Pope 1784–1847

Elizabeth Pope 1787–
Baptism 15 Jul 1787 Brushford
Married Richard Baker 15 Nov 1815 witness Thomas Pope and Elias From(?) in Brushford. I have an image of the registration
One twist is a possible marriage for a John Pope to a Mary Packer 5 Dec 1764 - Winkleigh, Devon, England. It seems odd that there would be two John Pope marriages in the village of Winkleigh. Wondering if Mary Packer was a first wife who passed away but have been unable to find a death for her (Or for John Pope for that matter). I have seen a tree with a death for a John Pope in St. Giles in 1811 but nothing points to that being the same person and I have been unable to find an actual record
