Father Roger ROWE, bur. 7 Feb 1785, St. Andrew’s Church, Coryton, Devon, England Mother Thomazin, bur. 28 May 1755, St. Andrew’s Church, Coryton, Devon, England Married Bef 1738 - Before 1743 when the first child of Roger and Thomazin in Coryton occurred, with both parents named in the baptism entry. Since I know that there were siblings Mary, Thomas Rowe and Jane, and I believe the Jane was a daughter of Roger and Thomazin, I believe the children baptised in Lamerton were offspring of the same Roger. Lamerton PR does not name the mother so it is possible Roger was married twice, but the fact the first known daughter was named Thomazin suggests they probably did have the same mother as those baptized in Coryton. In this case the marriage almost certainly took place no later than 1738.
I have not found the baptism of daughter Mary, the very person whose marriage to a GOTHAM is why the family are on this tree. There could be other children I don't know of.
Marriage not yet found, possibly due to it being in a PR missing or illegibel, probably due to FMP seeming complete inability to complete the indexing of the PRs held at the PWDRO or their incompetence in transcribing (so that on some PR pages where the writing is clear and unambiguous less than 50% are transcribed with the surname correct)

Family 2 John GOTHAM, b. 15 Aug 1738, Bridestowe, Devon, England , bur. 24 Jul 1799, All Saints’ Church, Okehampton, Devon, England (Age ~ 60 years) Married 19 Dec 1781 St. Peter’s Church, Lewtrenchard, Devon, England - From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 13 Feb 2014):
"John Gotham of this Parish of Lew Trenchard

(David May was witness at a number of weddings around this time; probably Parish Clerk)
No information about marital status in the entry; John seems to have been in his 40s when he married (if my assumptions are correct), Mary a widow. Her maiden name seems to have been Rowe so John was almost certainly a relation, maybe a brother or father.
