• Notes

  Widow at the time of marriage to Thomas COWLEY so we don't know if her maiden name was STARK or something else such as the possibilities below (not an exhaustive list) Possible first Marriages these are the brothers of James (below) who was living next door to Mary in the censuses. WILLIAM STARK Spouse: MARY POLLARD Family Marriage: 07 SEP 1809 Broad Clyst, Devon, England (Above is most likely example, based on age of Mary at Marriage and also the fact that Robert who was born in 1824 seems to clearly state Thomas was his father so the below marriage would have been after that and therefore wouldn't work.) JOSEPH STARKE MARY BULL Family Marriage: 03 APR 1824 Broad Clyst, Devon, England Also living next door to a James STARK in the censuses, brother in law? (Research):Two possible matches for further children of Mary STARK (neither list a father): Thomas STARK Christening: 05 AUG 1821 Poltimore, Devon, England Mark STARK Christening: 03 MAY 1818 Poltimore, Devon, England Possible match for Christening, not too far but not close enough to be near sure: 25 DEC 1785 Withycombe Raleigh, Devon, England Parents Josiah STARK & Jane
