James Luttrell — married 1451 in Powederham Castle - needs the Castle name to be corrected to Powderham.

I also have a new marriage source for you: Maxwell Lyte, Sir Henry Churchill, (1848-1940), A History of Dunster and of the Families of Mohun & Luttrell (London, England, The St. Catherine Press Ltd., 1909), Volume 1, Page 120. "In 1450, the Bishop at Exeter issued a license for a marriage to be celebrated in the private chapel of Powderham Castle between James Luttrell and Elizabeth daughter of Sir Philip Courtenay, his late guardian." https://archive.org/details/historyofdunster01lyte.

Also a source for her death of 1 Sep 1493: Maxwell Lyte, Sir Henry Churchill, (1848-1940), A History of Dunster and of the Families of Mohun & Luttrell (London, England, The St. Catherine Press Ltd., 1909), Volume 1, Page 130. "Pray, I beseech you, for the soul of Dame Elizabeth Lutterell, who died on the first day of the month of September in the year of our Lord 1493." https://archive.org/details/historyofdunster01lyte.

Courtenay-736 and Courtenay-62 appear to represent the same person because: Same person--see the note I put in the previous merge request regarding the correct dates. Also, the source you had listed on Courtenay-736 had the same death date as Courtenay-62; the profile just didn't reflect it correctly.
Courtenay-736 and Courtenay-62 are not ready to be merged because: Although this seems to represent the same person the death dates are way off. More verification is necessary to confidently merge these two profiles. Thank you.
