      From PR entry (image on FamilySearch, viewed 5 Jun 2022)
      "Thomas Polwheele, (filius Digorii Polwheele de parochia Sti. Earme Armigeri,) et Duena Glanvill, (filia Johis Glanvill defuncti olim unus ex Justiciariis Domini Regis de Curia Common plees) nupti fuere Tercio die Marcii"
      [ translates:
      "Thomas Polwheele (the son of Digory Polwheele of the parish of St Earme [Erme] Esquire) and Duenes (the daughter of John Glanvill, deceased, formerly one of the Lord Justices of the King's Court of Common Pleas) were married the third day of March"]

      Vivian (Cornwall visitations) also shows the marriages as 3 Mar; the Cornwall OPC database is clearly in error in showing 2 Mar.

      Breage is where the Godolphin family home was, so we may assume Dionisia was living down there with her mother and step-father, hence her marriage being there.
