St.Andrew with St.Luke, Stoke Damerel. Stoke Damerel, now a suburb of Plymouth, was prior to 1914 part of Devonport. Isaac PICKSTOCK and Sarah WILLIAMS, parents of Charlotte PICKSTOCK, were married here in 1809, a month before Isaac's regiment sailed to Madeira, where Charlotte was born.  James THOMAS of SOUTHEY's Party married twice in St.Andrew's. Helen, daughter of Alexander and Mary BIGGAR was baptised in this church, as was Thomas Joseph Hancorn, son of John SMITH of WILLSON's Party and Rebecca HANCORN. John KESTELL and Susanna JACOBS, parents of the settler Charles KESTELL, were married in Stoke Damerel and baptised many of their children here, six of whom were buried as toddlers in the churchyard. The settler Charles KESTELL was baptised here as an adult in 1809 but shortly after his birth he was baptised by John WESLEY in the newly opened Methodist Chapel in Ker Street, Plymouth Dock, since demolished.
