1 The Visitation of Cornwall (Trewren of Trewardrevah, p. 516) has confused the wives of father and son; i.e. it shows Thomas Trewren and his son John Trewren married to Mary daughter of Stephen Ustick and Mary Prisk respectively. In actual fact, Thomas married Alice Prisk in Helston and John married Mary Ustick in Madron, as recorded in the above registers.
