Roger Pomeroy of Brixham his ancestry here on my website
https://sites.google.com/site/pomeroytwigs2/sir-thomas-pomeroy-1547

1539 Baron Thomas Pomeroy Esq., organised the marriage of his younger brother Hugh of Tregony and the marriage settlement was drafted by Sir John Russell.
Hugh Pomeroy wife was to be Johan Borman or Bowerman and niece to Sir John. This settlement served as an entail which saved Tregony and Stockleigh Pomeroy from the sale of 1547 coming into play many years later, bringing Tregony back into the hands of Roger Pomeroy, of Sandridge

Roger Pomeroy b 1629 married Jane Wyvell /Willis dau of Joan wife of  Elias Wyvell of Saltash who left Joan and her children 40/- in her will-
Mentioned in  the 1667  Will of JOAN WYVELL widow of Egloskerry, are the grandchildren of  Joan Wyvell :- Ellias Pomeroy, Joane Pomeroy , Elizabeth Pomeroy 

Date & place of marriage has not been found either in FindMyPast or in Cornwall OPC or in Visiations
However the Civil War might account for this

Essex / Re: Hornblow
« on: Wednesday 15 June 22 09:01 BST (UK)  »
John Hornblow born 1744 on BARNES on the Thames . I have detailed this on my website. https://sites.google.com/view/sarah-hornblow-1820-settler/rev-john-hornblow
His obit says he was born in Halstead so I can only assume that this is what  he believed having lived there for much of his life . The family evidently moved from Barnes to Halstead before 1755.
They may have lived elsewhere for a short time after his brother Jeronimo or Jeremiah  arrived 1749   however I have not discovered where, there is a 6 year gap in the information, but by 1755  they were in Halstead in Essex ; John was 10 years old by then

Cornwall / Re: MARTYN Family of St Columb Minor
« on: Monday 21 March 22 10:19 GMT (UK)  »
Probably totally unconnected but there are Martyns on my website
https://sites.google.com/site/pomeroytwigs2/my-pomeroy-family/werrington

Has anyone got anything on. either the Mundy family or the Mylles - around Launceston
William Mylle was Mayor of Launceston and his unnamed daughter married Thomas Hext/ Hickes another mayor of Launceston. Hext's 1595 Will  gives both these names, his  daughter Florence married a Mr Mundy and the lands his wife  brought to the marriage went to his eldest son and his granddaughter Jane Pomeroy.
I have been unable  to dig anything up about either family that seems relevant
All I have is William Mylle was Mayor of Launceston 1539 & 1544
Mill, William, mayor of Launc’n the Duchy accounts of 1556, William Mill, mayor, certified….   
Richard Mylle and his son William were both Mayors of Launceston

I have also researched an earlier armorial JenkYn family , a family which had no sons -it ' daughtered '  out  -
 BUT I wonder if you have considered that Jenkins is also a prolific Welsh name and St Teath was a mining area.

Devon / Re: Devon House of Mercy
« on: Monday 10 February 20 13:00 GMT (UK)  »
Bovey Tracey 1870
Very similar to the Roman Catholic church in Ireland where the nuns of the infamous Magdelen laundries  exploited young girls
The DEVON HOUSE OF MERCY, for reclaiming 'fallen women', was established here in 1861, and was formally opened in a temporary residence in 1863; the foundation stone of the present building was laid by the Earl of Devon in 1865; it contains accommodation for 72 inmates, and is supported by voluntary contributions; the members of the Clewsisterhood have the management of it.

Devon House of Mercy Frances Billinge 2019
The Devon House of Mercy in Bovey Tracey was a sisterhood of Anglicans of the order of the Sisters of Mercy of the Community of St John the Baptist, whose mother house was at Clewer, Windsor. They established a home for abused women, at that time called fallen women, which started at Chapple in Bovey Tracey in 1863 and then moved to prestigious new premises near the parish church in 1868. (Fig.1) The sisterhood came to Bovey Tacey at the invitation of the local vicar, The Hon. Rev. Charles Leslie Courtenay. Courtenay was the brother of the Earl of Devon and was a Canon of Windsor. He supported high church ritual which at the time was called Tractarianism.  This sisterhood continued in Bovey Tracey until the end of 1939. The building has now become flats
