Hello all - Bill raised a question regarding this post, as other records don't match entries in the West Briton.  The W.B. definitely, clearly shows "....the wife of Mr. Richard Chard, of a daughter." Still, it's best if everyone is aware that an error might have crept in somewhere.  Thank goodness for Bill's alert checking!!!! Cheers, Julia M.
