Dau Simon and Joan in Ashreigney, first child

10 Jun 1752; Marriage; High Bickington, Torrington, Devon, England
Simon Darch married Margret Sage
Possibly the Simon and Margaret who had a large family in Landkey, starting in 1753. I am not sure whether I can prove the connection other than by eliminating all other possible Simons.

He is not likely to be the son of Simon and Joan from Ashreigney (1727) because it is likely this one died in 1731.
