Thank you, Kiterunner & Elizabeth. I think the St. Columb marriage is more likely, geographically.

A William Pope was buried on 1st January 1801 at St Merry. Unfortunately no age is given.
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/...414&cc=1769414 His son William had already died and been buried in 1772 at St Merryn, so it isn't him. |
