1027. Elizabeth HEAL
It is not known where Elizabeth Heal came from. The WCSL transcriptons and the IGI have her name incorectly spelt as 'Meal' but the actual parish register clearly has her name as 'Heal'. The surname 'Heale' or 'Hele' was quite common in Devon, England at that time; the IGI has several possible christening dates and locations:
1. Elizabeth Heale b. 6/6/1676 at Crediton, daughter of Robert
2. Elizabeth Heale b. 14/10/1678 at Burrington, daughter of John & Etheldred
3. Elizabeth Heale b. 1/6/1680 at Moretonhampstead, daughter of Samuell
4. Elizabeth Hele b. 22/4/1683 at Witheridge (near Tiverton), daughter of Thomas & Joan
5. Elizabeth Heale b. 15/2/1685 at Black Torrington, daughter of John An Elizabeth Heale married John Saunders on 25/7/1704 at Coldridge (near Crediton)
This leaves 2. and 3. as the most likely possiibilties as 5. would have only been 18 years old in 1703. Burrington is a place with known Mallett associations, particularly with the Robert of Dowland line.
