Christopher Pomeroy of Plymouth licence to marry Anna Smyth of Blisland in Cornwall 7 Nov 1617 married at Blisland 12 Nov 1617

Blisland is about 25 miles overland as the crow files ( Straight line)  a considerable distance over land from Plymouth

It lies lies inland from the port of Padstow & nearby Wadebridge. I can only conclude  a maritime connection  here.

Christopher Pomery buried at Vintry Ward Plymouth 1627 DEVON

 Vintry Street is no more - it seems to have been incorporated into Vauxhall Street .   

 Vintry Street  refers to ‘a meeting place of wine merchants’ when the importing of wine was a major part of the town’s business affairs. Vauxhall St and the lower part Looe St are modern, obliterated by a bomb in the Blitzas was great swathes of the Naval port  and the town of Plymouth -

In Records for Plympton St Mary, about 4 miles from Collaton.

an Andrew Pomeroy married Susan Elliott 12 March 1633

John son to Andrew Pomeroy Born & baptised 23 Dec 1634-

Andrew son to Andrew Pomeroy Born & baptised 8 July 1643

I wondered briefly if this might be Andrew (Pomeroy the younger of Collaton and a 2nd marriage but he died in 1639

Alma & I ascertained that this was Plympton group likely children of Edward Pomeroy of Collaton and his wife Mary Slanning of nearby Maristow

Prysten House in Finewoll or Finewall Street Plymouth

Prysten House is a Grade I listed 15th century merchant's house  built c. 1498  built for Thomas Yogge who died in 1509 (Pevsner),extended 1635, the rear truncated when Abbey Hall was built 


As a wealthy merchant & mayor it's just possible he lived here but more likely he lived in a similar merchant  house just down the street...which is no more.
