Details from this marriage

[MacGrigor]

Hello,

Looking at the marriage of Joseph Westcott and Ann Harris in Thorverton in 1777. I have lots on Joseph, but nothing on Ann. I'm hoping that the parish details might indicate that she came from elsewhere.

I'd appreciate any help!

Hi
Not a lot of luck I'm afraid.
They are both of this parish,both signed.
Witnesses James Harris and William Pullen(who was the standard witness).
Also at Thorverton
Alice married 28.12.1778 Edmund Bater -same witnesses.
Frances 1.4.1782 to William Jenkins sojourner -same witnesses
Sarah 20.2.1776 to Robert Warren same witnesses

James Harris married Sarah Chilton 11 Dec 1749.
Will for James 1793 but I don't know if it has survived.
Children Sarah 23.9.1750,Alice bapt 5.1.1755 ,Anne 27.3.1757,Frances 4.3.1759,Phillip 26.12.1764-15.6.1765
James Harris junior from Exeter? buried 25.8.1793 and senior same year 1st July
Sarah Harris buried 7.7.1803

If I had to guess at James's parents I'd go for Phillip Harris and Alice Manaton married at Sandford 4.6.1723 .Son James baptised there 23.3.1728/9.They seem to move to Thorverton for some of their children.

The only baptism for Sarah I can see at Thorverton dies as a baby.
