I may be related to Mary Coombe, the elder sister of your Joseph Coombe. Both the age at death and according to census suggest that my Mary was born around 1782 in Sampford Courtenay. Parish records indicate that there were three Mary Coombes born at Sampford Courtenay within nine years (1778, 1783, 1787). If I could assume that the middle Mary is correct (ch 10/5/1783) then her parents were Philip and Mary. Further research is needed.
My Mary married Charles Wonnacott at Sampford Courtenay in 1808. Their children were John, William, Ann, Mary, William, James, Mary, Elizabeth. Mary died at South Tawton in 1859.
