Cornish ~ Third Generation

    Issue of Alexander Cornish and Phillip Payne  
1.   Phillip Cornish
Bap of Phillip Cornish 24 Nov 1633 at Poughill, Cornwall, son of Alexander and Phillip (ref IGI, findmypast and Cornwall OPC).
Phillip is listed as Blacksmith in burial of daughter Elizabeth in 1663 and burial of wife Elizabeth.

Married Elizabeth, surname unknown. Marriage is not found in Cornish records. Her age and birthplace are not known.
Elizabeth was buried 25 Feb 1687/88, wife of Phillipp Cornish, Blacksmith (ref parish record on Family Search Record Collection for Poughill, page 106).

There is also another marriage in findmypast & Phillimores in Cornwall OPC of a Phillipp Cornish on 17 Feb 1689/90 at Poughill to Philippa WEB, there is a burial 4 Jul 1706 at Poughill of Phillipe wife of Phillip Cornish (page 110); in Cornwall OPC Philipp is listed as a blacksmith so it is a very strong assumption that this was a second marriage of Phillip Cornish.
