Notes
General:

020204: I checked these records on microfilm very carefully at the FHC in Moncton. The microfilm is extremely bad, especially the part that relates to the 1500s and early 1600s. But I am sure that there is absolutely no evidence of birth records for Philippa Mory (1654) , Juditha Mory (1658) and Jeane Mory (1669). I have no idea where Aunt Jean and others found this information. One possibility relates to the fact that the Parish Records on microfilm are not a direct print of the original Parish Records. The microfilm was made from what appears to be a very old, but not original version. In other words a manual, hand-written transcript made many years ago. It is not dated, but it does indicate that it was presented to the Devon and Cornwall Record Society for the use of their members by an individual whose name is illegible on the microfilm. Perhaps the Society can clear up this mystery. It was noted that it was "Deposited at the Exeter City Library" so they too should know how and when and by whom it was deposited. A note added in hand later indicates that when checked against the original a number of records were found to have been omitted. This could be what happened in the case of the missing Morys. Other researchers who found these names may well have picked them off the original Parish Records books.

Notes
General:

Stoke Gabriel Church Records of deaths on microfilm at Maritime History Archive on Aug. 29, 2001 show: "Mar. 30 1718 Margaret Moary." Note spelling of surname. Though it doesn't say so, I believe this is the Margaret Mory, daughter of John and Susannah ? whose record of birth we had already from LDS. If unmarried at the time of her death (about age 34), the record would not indicate either the husband's name or the fathers name, since she was no longer a child.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Record transcribed from microfilm on loan from LDC at Family History Centre in Moncton, January 2004. All spelling is precisely as seen, however I believe that the microfilm was in fact of a transcription of the Church records, not the original church records themselves and therefore it is possible that errors were introduced by the person who performed the original transcription:

"Codem die Margaret d John & Susanna Mory." Coden die means "the same day" and refers to the previous birth record in the book, which was on Dec. 14, so Margaret would have been Christened on the same date as that person.

Note spelling of surname. This begs the question if he had his name misspelled at times as Moore, are other Moore's in the Stoke Gabriel record relatives and possibly really Moreys/Morrys?

190816:

I can put to rest any suspicion that the Morry name was ever confused with Moore as suggested above. I now know for a fact that the LDS film of the St. Gabriel register was made from a copy or transcript made years later and not from the original register. That copy or transcript contained numerous errors and omissions and should not be trusted. It is NOT the primary source. Find My Past has more recently made images of the pages of the original register and Bill Full has kindly sought out the pages of interest to my family line. On the one for Marie her surname and that of her father are quite clearly recorded as Mory and not Moore. Mory is one of the more common spellings of the family name used in those early records.

Note that I have no recorded source for the burial date shown here and it does not appear on the image of the St. Gabriel register found on Find My Past. I believe that this is an error but will retain it for now. I have no idea where the date came from.

150204: I have no other record of the existence of this person than from Geoffrey William's database. It is curious that she is listed as either being Christened or buried at St. Clement's. The rest of the family are all shown as Stoke Gabriel.

It would appear that there were errors in Geoffrey's database for her as she is clearly shown to have been buried at St. Gabriel's in Stoke Gabriel and most likely was born there as well.
