Father John GLANVILLE, b. Est 1566, d. Between 27 Jan 1611/12 and 20 May 1612 (Age ~ 46 years)
Other Partners: Christian ESTCOTT m. 12 Feb 1587/88Mother Mary SKIRRETT, b. Est 1570, d. Aft 1637 (Age ~ 68 years)
Other Partners: Christopher BROOKING m. Abt 1614Married Abt 20 Sep 1588 St. Eustachius’ Church, Tavistock, Devon, England - The date I show is that on which the uncle of the groom "did p[ro]cure a marryadg to be had & solempnized ..." (details below). I think this is probably not the date of the marriage, but an earlier one - possibly when a licence was obtained, or a settlement agreed.
It was John's uncle, also called John Glanville, who made the arrangements, and
"in further good will to this Defendt did bestowe uppon him his marriage dynn[er] and certeyne money of his owne purse, and to the same m[ar]iage invyted div[er]se of the chieffest inhabitantes of the said Towne of Tavistocke the most parte of them beinge very neere allyed unto this Defendt or his said wieffe, wch frinds and allyantes so invyted to the said marryage together wth the said John Glanvyle and the said Nicholas Glanvyle were contented of meere good will to accompany this Defendant and his wiefe ^ the next daye home to the Towne of Launceston being the place where this defendant had settled himselfe to dwell, whose coming beinge knowen to the Townsemen of Launceston aforesaid div[er]se of the maisters and best inhabitantes of the same Towne in very kind and curteous mann[er] mett wth this Defendant and the Rest about 3 myles from the Towne and accompanyed them into the Towne of Launceston".
[source - see note 2 below]
This clearly implies the marriage had taken place in Tavistock.
Vivian (Cornwall Vistations, pedigree signed by Oliver, presumably son of John) gives name of Mary but shows all John's children were by his first wife, Christian. This could be an error in Vivian - a line in the wrong place linking the children to the wrong marriage. A book produced in 1882, i.e. after Vivian published his first edition of Cornwall Vivistations (1874), claims that 'The Herald's Visitation of Cornwall says that John Glanville had issue by Christiana, but the Parish Registers of Launceston asserts that she died one year after her marriage.' ; the actual date given for Christian's death is May 1588. Although the book is not a reliable one, there is other evidence in support of this:
1. Mary is described as the mother (rather than step-mother) of Oliver in both John's will and the decree in a Chancery Court case. Whilst in-laws and occasionally step-children / parents etc. were sometimes referred to without the inclusion of 'in-law' etc. the amount of evidence here does seem to point to Mary being the mother of John's children.
2. In a Star Chamber case (ref. STAC 5/C3/18, answer of John Glanville and Francis Dunne) this marriage, of John Glanville to Mary Skirrett, is described as being arranged by another John Glanville, uncle of this John to the other John's wife's sister "about the xxth of September in the xxxth yere of her mates Raigne the said John Glanvyle of naturall love & affection wch he bare to this Defendant [this John Glanville] being his brothers sonne did p[ro]cure a marryadg to be had & solempnized betweene the said Defendt and a sister of the said John Glanvyles wiefe being brought upp in Tavistocke ..."

Family Walter DEEBELL, d. Yes, date unknown Marriage 29 Jul 1628 - From Vivian, Marriage Licences
"Walter Deable of Anthony by Saltaish and Agnes Glanvill or Launceston."
Married 9 Aug 1628 St. Mary Magdalene’s Church, Launceston, Cornwall, England - From transcription of PR, shows Walter Deebell married Agnes Glanvile.
Was Walter related to the attorney John 'Doble', servant to and related by marriage to Agnes' great uncle Judge John Glanville? (Not that Judge John could have arranged the marriage, having died probably before Agnes was even born, but since the two families were linked it seems likely)
In addition, the above John Doble married a first cousin of Agnes' on her mother's side, Thomasin Dunriche, and possibly another cousin also married a Dobel (a Margaret Dunriche married one William Doble).
