Hi there,
I realize this post is several years old, but hoping you're still interested. I noted your comments about the Elizabeth Stanbury bap at Brixham in 1784. She is my ancestor and she was the daughter of Peter Stanbury and Ann Angell. She married ? Smith firstly, and secondly Richard Heard in 1810 at East Stonehouse. Richard was a mariner. They named some of their children as follows: Ann Angel Heard and Jemima Jane Stanbury Heard. In the 1851 census Elizabeth gives her birthplace as Brixham. Their daughter who is my ancestor Elizabeth Peters Heard married Philip Thomas Nancollas Bennett. In the 1881 census she is living with her cousin, Mary Friend. This Mary is Mary Fewins b. abt 1831 Hatherleigh d/o John Fewins and Ann Stanbury, which further cements the connection.
I have been working with some Stanbury DNA matches through Ancestry. An intriguing match is a descendant of Jane Stanbury b. abt 1780 and married William Collins in 1809 at Okehampton. I am just trying to work out her parentage, there are 3 candidates, but one possibility goes back to Samuel of Mary of Inwardleigh.
