There was Ralfe Pomery Bb 19 Feb 1592 son of Henry at Shaugh Prior
a mining district this one on the south of Dartmoor close to Plymouth
and Ralph Pomeroye married Jone Guskett 2 Feb 1601 at Whitchurch
obviously not the same man but the only one in FMP & possibly a connection
but who this Ralfe was I cannot discover .
Did one of these men go off the Wells and set up as a shoemaker??
Ralph Pomeroy, a shoemaker in St Cuthberts, Wells Somerset
Died in 1584 & left a Will. Transcription states he had a brother in Plymouth
