shows a branch of the Fowell family, who are among my ancestors.
All the pedigrees show William Fowell marrying Agnes Achym, daughter of William of Pelynt in Cornwall. Fine. Except that an Agnes Achym, daughter of William of Pelynt in Cornwall also marries a Phillip Crymes. He dies in 1595 and there is a will of an Agnes Crymes widow a year or so later. (Agnes was also the name of her mother in law!)
I have toyed with the idea that William Fowell married Phillip Crymes' widow, but never had proof.
Do you think the word on the third line from bottom "Gaimets" could be a mistranscription of Crymes? (The family had an irritating habit of sometimes spelling their names "Grymes")
