Coumbe in North Hill, Cornwall Family History & Genealogy |
Mostly Coombe - Henry Coumbe, Margery Northey and 3 generations
All the five Coumbe headstones in North Hill church cemetery are for descendants of Henry and Margery Coumbe (nee Northey). This is a descendancy chart of research to date for Henry Coumbe (baptised 29 Oct 1726 at North Hill) and Margery Northey (b. 1725, Altarnun) and married at Altarnun in 1746. Of course, some events have less certainty than others. More details are available (especially dates), but to improve readability they are not presented here.
Margery Northey was the daughter of Nevill Northey, mason of Altarnun, and his wife Grace EARE (or Grace EARL or Grace EARLE). It seems that the Northey’s are actually the origins of the mason occupation within the Coumbe’s.
