Michael Steer b. 1769 Aveton Gifford, Devon d. 1836 in Plymouth, Devon, was
married twice once to Mary Elliott on 4 October 1791 also in Aveton Gifford,
they were married till approximately 1812, when their last child was born.
On 14 June in 1824, Michael marries again to Jenny Hursh In Plymouth, Devon.
Jenny is the wife mentioned in the Will of Michael Steer in 1834 and proven
after his death in 1836.

The entry mentioned on James Steer Williams, with parents that might be
Andrew Williams and BETTY Steer, is interesting, as Michael Steer's first
child is a daughter named Betsy Cowle Steer, although she is called
Elizabeth in her fathers Will, where it is also mentioned she is married to
a William Bunnesford, when this Will is first written. Is it possible she
was married to this Andrew Williams, before the marriage to William
Bunnesford, and had a son in 1825 with Andrew? If this marriage to Andrew
in 1819, is the same female, then it is possible that she could have had a
second marriage before the 1834 mention in the Will. Nothing has ever been
found for Elizabeth, after her mention in this Will, where she is listed as
living in Woolwich.

Any thoughts?
