Philip made his mark and Mary signed the register. The witnesses were Thomas Symons and John Rowe [could be the bride and groom's fathers - or possibly brothers?].
RES: Walter Meyer zu Erpen could not locate Philip Rowe (chr. 1826 at Crowan) in the 1851 census of England and Wales. In COR0862, Jeannette Merritt reported that she could not find Philip and Mary Rowe in the 1851 census return, nor the christenings of any children from that marriage.

Jeannette explained that "Crowan" could sound like "Crayon" when spoken by a Cornishman. No children were travelling with Phillip and Mary. Jeannette continued: "The information that Philip could read but not write would tie in with him making his mark in the marriage register. I did not realise that anyone who could read would not be able to write but it must be so, as of the eight families shown on this sheet five individuals could read but not write."MAR: Second marriage: CHT0133 shows that Philip Rowe married Jane Freeman in 1855, in Victoria, Australia; that chart does not show Philip Rowe's marriage to Mary Symons. Except where otherwise indicated, all name, date and place data relating to the descendants of this couple is from the "Outline Descendant Report for Philip Orchard" that was compiled and researched by Geoffrey Hall and included in the online "Orchard-Rowe-Kitto" posting by Ken Stewart and Ernie Orchard (last updated 12 October 2004).

Based upon the correction discussed with Geoffrey Hall in COR0839, the descendants of Philip Rowe and Jane Freeman are NOT descended from Philip Orchard.
DTH: In COR0839, Geoffrey Hall wrote: "That Philip [the one who married Jane Freeman], and Jane, died in Carlton North in 1895 and Jane in 1896."
