Hi Lindsay 
Thomas Curnow of the 1643 Towednack will with 12 beneficiary children named plus 3 “cosins” (A loose term for relatives), only Antony being legible: although Thomas Curnow's wife Catherine is in the Towednack burial records 7 May 1635, I am quite unaware of any record having been found that identifies a marriage date or place to Thomas Curnow, or any other record that identifies her maiden name. May I ask where you have the marriage date of 1612 from?
Myself - and others as you can see from preceding entries in this thread - I am yet to be convinced that this Thomas Curnow of the 1643 will was the chap baptized St Keverne 1588, having worked through the available information in records regarding his various sons as named in the 1643 will, as I am not happy that a chap born in 1588 would likely have been of an eligible marriage age to sire them, and there are other factors that mitigate against Thomas being born 1588).... I think there are differing theories out there amongst researchers as to the approximate date of birth for this apparent 1st Curnow in Towednack...........
And if one were of the school of hypothetical thought that believed the 1588 St Keverne baptismal record, no parents named, was this Thomas Curnow, it is a leap to impute that the parents were Thomas Curnow & Anes. I have myself not found an evidenced link or put together sound supporting arguments. Have you?
