I went looking for Ibbot on the Cornwall OPC and there aren’t a lot around, although the name can be found back in the 1500s.

I found the following Ibbots marrying in the same area at the same time:

1. James Ibbot m Martha Thomas 1743 Breage, a son James 1743 Breage.
2. Honor Ibbot m George Serl 1746 Breage, children as above.
3. Thomas Ibbot m Elizabeth Tresise 1746 Breage, children – Elizabeth 1747, Thomas 1749, Honor 1752, Arthur 1754.
4. John Ibbot m Margaret Serl 1749 Breage, children Mary 1750 Breage.
5. Anne Ibbot m 1751 at Menheniot. Ann of Quethiock so probably not to my family.
6. Catherine Ibbot m 1753 Robert Richards at Breage.
Katherine and Richard are the only ones whose baptism I have found –
19/7/1724 Breage – parents John and Honor.
and
7. 4/12/1726 Richard Ebbat - parents John and Honor

I think possibly Katherine and Richard are the youngest and that the baptism records that have been transcribed, or survived, started from that time.
I think having the name Honor ties the above as siblings - 2, 3, 6 and possibly 4, because siblings often married, which only leaves James at Breage, so I’d say he is a brother too.. I’d say Anne belongs to another family.

The surname of Honor Brenfell .. is changeable too .. starts as Bromefill 1615 then becomes Bremfield/Brenfield/ then Brounfield and finally Brownfield. I think the name Brenfell is a one off and she should be Brounfield/Brownfield

Thanks Kate I didn't see that.
Now found marriage 1/6/1714 at Breage of John Ebbat to Honor Brenfell and baptism 4/12/1726 of Richard Ebbat parents John and Honor.

I am wondering if John and Honor were married in Breage in 1714 and then lived somewhere else, returning about 1724, because there are baptisms recorded at Breage between 1714 and 1724, but not the Ibbot/Ebbats whatever.
