Father Andrew BOWDEN, b. Abt 1793, Sheepstor, Devon, England , d. Yes, date unknown Mother Anne REED, bap. 19 Aug 1796, St. Leonard’s Church, Sheepstor, Devon, England , d. Yes, date unknown Married 23 Mar 1817 Walkhampton Church, Walkhampton, Devon, England - nb/ an Anne Reed marr Andrew Bowden in Walkhampton on 23 Mar 1817 (From DFHS index data - assuming this refers to marr not banns)
The grave of children of Andrew and Ann Bowden appears in a small group with Ann Reed nee Light, sister of the same, Mary Light; Mary wife of Peter Reed.
This would suggest it was Ann being a Reed before she married that led to them being buried in this part of the churchyard, although I haven't found Andrew's baptism so don't know if there is a link on his mother's side.
