No early IGI parish entries have been located for this parish (later ones exist, but have not yet been extracted). None of the above parties have been identified as yet, but see Mothecombe, Holbeton re CARSWELL. Also note that the first record above is significantly earlier than the other three, and that neither Margery was necessarily of Tavistock.
