I wonder if the spelling Boveysand has anything to do with the River Bovey -- not with Bovey Tracey, which is too far and remote from Plymouth, but the river rises not impossibly far from Plymouth.
Cornish (Devon), Bowden (Cornwall, Devon), Kitson (Devon, not North Lancashire), Karslake (Devon), Eales (Devon), Churchill (Dorset -- no known connection with Sir Winston), Duncan (Ireland), Colclough (Ireland, not Staffordshire), McMurtry (Ireland), Browning (Hampshire, Dumfries), Heberden (various), Rogers (Thurlestone, Devon)
