Brenda Newnham remembered visiting her in Exeter, when she was very old | information from Brenda Newnham | |
Remembered as jovial, with a very lined, roundish face, with really tight curly hair; at that time lying in bed, her stomach colossal in size, with cancer, as if she were pregnant. "I remember when we were little girls we went to see her and we were both by the bed, and she said—of course she spoke very Devonshire dialect—to my mother, "Whose bairns be they?", and my mother said "They' re my bairns." She offered me a piece of peach, and she got quite upset when I wouldn't take it because it had been opened and started ... and was by the side of a person's bed that was ill—I wouldn't touch it, I pushed it away, and she was very upset about that." | interview with Brenda Newnham | |

I believe the 1770 entry referring to "Catherine" to be an error. Although a Catherine Pomeroy was buried in Farway in 1775, there is no other reference to a Catherine Pomeroy in the Farway registers back to 1709, when a Katherine Pomery had a child baptised—this is more likely to have been the Catherine buried in 1775. There are, however, seven baptismal entries for children of William and Christian Pomeroy from 1754–1767, and Samuel as the eighth (and fourth son), baptised in 1770, fits the pattern perfectly. When asked for an opinion, the archivist at Devon CRO stated simply "Deaf vicar." |
