Other Partners: William JARMAN m. Bef 16 Mar 1613/14Married Abt Feb 1615/16 - Date based on date of marriage licence.
The marriage is not in Abbotskerswell PRs. The PRs for Cockington only survive from 1632 and the BTs for 1615 and 1616 do not survive either.
Most likely the marriage took place in Cockington, or in Exeter when they went there to obtain a licence.
But, am I merging 2 Andrews?
There was a gap and change of place between Humfrey baptised in 1616 and Thomas in 1622. The two places are near each other, and I could be missing a baptism or two. Weight is added to the theory that the children were offspring of the same couple by the burial of an Elizabeth, wife of Andrew in Wolborough in 1632/3. I wondered if Andrew had had two wives both called Elizabeth, but there were a couple of Chancery Court cases involving the Andrew who married Elizabeth German/Jarman; looking at these confirms that Andrew's wife Elizabeth formerly Jarman who he had married in 1615/16 was still living in 1632 and that Andrew was then described as of Newton Abbot (i.e. was in Wolborough Parish), so it seems safe to conclude there was just one Andrew who fathered the children shown here and just one wife Elizabeth.
The earlier Chancery case, in 1618, does additionally refer to an Andrew and Margaret Gotham; I have not come across another mention of these, so they probably lived in a parish whose PRs do not survive from this time. There was an Andrew in Abbotskerswell at the time of the 1581 tax - was he the one who was married to Margaret?
Marriage License 12 Feb 1615/16 Exeter, Devon, England - Vivian shows a licence issued on 12 Feb 1615/16:
"Andrew Gotehman of Abbotskerswell and Eliza German of Cockington, widow"
Given that Andrew was of Abbotskerswell and the licence was about 10 months before the baptism of a first child of this couple I'm sure it must be for them, despite the mangled surname.
