Christianna Coustis (born c1829) married John Densham (born c1821) around 1852 in Truro. They were Quakers who ran away to marry. Had son Samuel Densham. Christianna later married Thomas Pelham. They had one daughter in Dorking _ Jane Eliza Pelham. After Thomas died, Christianna married William Mance.

Falmouth Bible Christians/ Quakers
- Falmouth
Christianna Coustis was born in Cornwall in 1829. According to some census info she was born in 'Key', which I believe may be Kea, since she married in Truro in 1852, but she is also registered as born and baptised under the Falmouth Circuit of Bible Christians. Family lore says that she and her husband, John Densham, are believed to have been Quakers who left the Friends because they found the lifestyle too strict, but this may have been the Bible Christians. Any information, or suggestions of how to find out more would be much appreciated.
