Notes
1. It is very unusual for John and Elizabeth to have had two daughters called Mary. Sheila recorded the 1814 marriage for the elder daughter – but the younger daughter was unmarried and living in St Veep in 1851. Some researchers have recorded the elder daughter as Amy.
2. Surname also recorded as Sanday.
