James M. Bowen is a great grandson of Mary Ellen Courtice, the daughter of Thomas Courtice originally of Buckland Brewer. The article in the OGS, May 2013 issue of "Families"  does not include this information.

My Mary Wakely (also seen spelt Wakeleigh) was bn 6 Aug 1692, married Richard Cole 17 July 1719 and died 9 Feb 1762 according to the parish records I have seen. All these events happened in Buckland Brewer.

I haven't traced Mary's family too far yet, so cant say one way of the other either :-( Perhaps John was Mary's nephew? Mary's parents Henry Wakely and Joan Kitto and her younger brother William are the only family members I am aware of. William died at age 21 so I am unsure if he had children (or married for that matter).

 

As for the Bible Christians in Canada, it seems that they (at least formally) didn't go to Norfolk Co. where my family settled - according to Sherrell Leetooze when I spoke to her a couple of years ago. She has written a few books on the Bible Christians in Canada. Many of my Cole ancestors are buried in a United Church cemetery in Norfolk so what you say makes sense to me in terms of my family. The family likely were affected by the church changes you mention as time went along.

I do have a Mary WAKELY(4x gt grandmother) 1773 - 1839.
The only other prior ancestor in my family at this time is John WAKELY abt 1725 (6 x gt grandfather). So I don't know yet if the Mary WAKELY 1691 - 1725 you are referring to is my relative. It is possible.
