Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Susana Earalle/Clearlle/Teralle/Nevalle

That's a hard one. Even looking at the rest of the page doesn't help, it seems to be the only entry in that hand. The baptism entry for Thomas Greenland in 1655 is perhaps by the same writer. The 'G' is different, but the 'T' does seem to have similar strokes. So my guess would be Teralle, but without any certainty.

There was a John baptised at Winford in 1688, parents Thomas and Jane. I can't see one for John and Hester.

The Cornwall OPC site has an index to Cornish Wills.
https://www.cornwall-opc-database.org/extra-searches/wills-index/

If the will is available of Familysearch they give the film number and image range to help you find it.
The master index for the FS Cornish wills is at

Well, she was a widow and her name ended "rett" but I can't convince myself that it was Margaret.

Aha!
Looks like she was Anchoret, widow of Thomas Bill whose will can be seen here:

The actual parish register is available on Familysearch.

But it is of little help. As the complaint in the BTs says, there were no entries made between 1737 and 1767. The new vicar then added retrospective details of a few families, the same as shown in image 113 of the BTs.

If the previous vicar didn't keep a register, how did he manage to submit the BTs each year? If he compiled them from memory or rough notes then it's quite possible he made a few mistakes. Although it's also possible that there was a register but it didn't get passed on to the new vicar.

Devon and Cornwall Marriage Bonds and Allegations are available on Familysearch.

No sign of Richard Spry and Joan Fursman though. There is a Richard Spry of Whitchurch marrying a widow Grace Martyn in 1758.

Do not give up all hope. There are Bishop's Transcripts going back as far as 1610, but as usual with many years misssing.

Baptisms, marriages, burials, 1606, 1610, 1618, 1620, 1624, 1627-1628, 1633, 1663-1664, 1666, 1668-1672, 1674-1676, 1678-1681, 1686, 1690, 1694-1696, 1704, 1708-1709, 1713-1715, 1719-1730, 1732-1737, 1743-1751, 1753, 1755-1799, 1801-1807, 1809-1812
