Sorry, Amy, I have never followed their line up. Will try to have a look when I have some time.

From correspondence over 10 years ago I have a record of Richard Vinecombe Davey having married Ann Marshall Bromley at Madron 11th October 1836.

Ann is recorded as bp. 20th September 1811 Penzance daughter of John Broomley and Grace Marshall.

I must say that I have not yet looked into this family to confirm details but the above was from a reasonably reliable source.

I do know that there was a mix up with children from this marriage who actually belonged to Richard Davy and Ann Michell of Zennor but the marriage details themselves should be no problem.
