Hi John Thanks for your comments. Yes, I shall tread carefully. Re. your problem of 20 years, I have a similar one in Shropshire at Ellesmere where there are three John Price's born in the same year 1715, so I have not one clue which is mine, and probably never shall. If two of them had died in infancy, that would have glued things down, but they didn't, so that was that. Yes, I see that St Kew is named after a Welsh saint, though the parish church is now St James. You know genealogy is a bit like gardening, you have to get the weeds out of the way before you can do some real planting. Anything I can't prove with certificates I shall leave with a whopping big question mark. Lots of fun trying, all the same. Graham in Oz, where bush fires are looming large.

Thanks to Joy, Connie, and also Bern's most humorous comments - all is made clear. Most of my research has been Wales, Shropshire and recently Middlesex etc. This is the first time I've seen any Cornish people creeping (using that term lightly) in. Joy's input was particularly helpful, which will lead me further on. Bern, I shall check out your mighty metropolis. Might find some rellies there attempting to read. Even so, I bet they could make lovely Cornish pasties. :)) Best wishes Graham

Oy oy! St Erth is a great metropolis. In the 1850 to 1880 period it was populated by thousands of my forebears - none of whom could spell. It has a great website with fabulous records which have helped me sort out loads of rellies. Bern >Graham, >St Erth is about 10 miles North of Penzance.

Best wishes Graham Melbourne Oz

In 1985, while on a business trip to London, I extended my stay over a weekend so that I might visit Cornwall, birthplace of all four of my grandparents. On a Friday, I boarded the Cornish Riviera at Paddington station bound for Penzance. I had no definite plan and when the train made a stop at St Erth I decided to get off and catch the spur line that went to St Ives. At St Ives I booked a room at the Regent Hotel for the night. The next morning, Saturday, I explored St Ives a bit then struck out walking to Penzance in order to catch the train back to London that evening. My stroll took me through Towednack, Amalveor, Georgia, Chypons, and Nancledra to name a few. ( Had biscuits and tea with a nice lady at Chypons Farm, purchased an ice cream in Nancledra, and had a pasty when I got to Penzance.) The weather was perfect; took a lot of pictures including the Wilson's cat at Amelbra, It's been almost 28 years but the experience hasn't faded. Perhaps I'll return some day after that fellow in NIgeria releases those funds he wants to share with me. Joe Trewhella In a message dated 1/24/2013 9:48:51 P.M.

Oh, and the branch line to St Ives, via Lelant and Carbis Bay has to be one of the most beautiful routes on earth (althouth I admit I'm biased, because Anna and I often sit at Lelant Station to eat our lunch and watch the birds on the estuary). And I regret to say that too many years of that have addled our brains, and just this past Christmas and New Year, we've started building ourselves an OO Gauge model railway featuring this magic bit of Cornwall's railways. It's a bit sad that we're going to capture this in miniature, but with our petrol / gas now costing around £4-50 per gallon, (that must be around $7 in USA money and $6.80 in Australia) we've decided it is cheaper to stay at home and play trains, than it is to get in the car and drive westwards from where we are in North Cornwall. And the wonderful thing is that if you come to Cornwall by rail, you can still come in all the way from London and finish up at the end of the country at Penzance, where the train has to stop or it would roll off into the ocean (via St Erth)!!!

Hi Graham, I really feel you could lead yourself down some blind alleyways here! In global terms, St Erth is only a tiny leap from St Kew (I don't know where in the world you live, but in Australia or the USA it is almost the kind of distance you'd travel to do the weekly shopping) but in Cornish terms, it is generations and socio-economies away. The problem is, that so many Cornish places are named after Saints that just grabbing a 'near soundalike' can be really misleading. I know, because I've got a line that has had me stuck for 20 years, and it is soooo tempting to seize on it. But the reality (in my case) is that several brides of the same Christian (first) name, married husbands with the 'right' Christian and Surnames, within just a few years or even months of each other, within the same communities!!! Which one of these is mine! So yes, St Erth is lovely (there is a gorgeous walk in Spring time along the upper reaches of the River Hayle) but any connection with St Kew is likely to be non-existant. But... of course... I may be wrong! Oh, and Bern was exaggerating (slightly), but there was a big dairy at St Erth that processed all the local milk until a few years ago. It is now a sort of mini industrial and retail park (using the old buildings) but the last time I went through there was a cafe there selling some really great Pasties!!! John in Cornwall, where it is heading below freezing tonight! This message and any attachments are confidential and may be legally privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.

Eating pasties, purchased in Hayle, at Lelant Station in 2007 was a very memorable day for Alan and me. And ~ I have taken the train from London to Penzance, and back several times. Why rent a car until you arrive in Cornwall? Ann Oh, and the branch line to St Ives, via Lelant and Carbis Bay has to be one of the most beautiful routes on earth (althouth I admit I'm biased, because Anna and I often sit at Lelant Station to eat our lunch and watch the birds on the estuary).

Good morning all. I recently posted the following on the Hertfordshire list, but have changed the subject heading and deleted some of the body, so as not to cross-post. Seems I need some help around the St. Kew/Bodmin area. "While going back on some of the earlier family connections of Bennett and Tester (MDX & HRT), I came across some Eames - one in particular John b. c.1835 St. Albans, Hertfordshire, Police Inspector at Hillingdon, Uxbridge, in the 1871 census, so I was wondering if anyone had any Eames connections thereof? He seems to have risen in the ranks quite fast. He may or may not have married a Jane Pryce, Marylebone district June Qtr 1859. Interesting though, that in the 1871 census at Uxbridge (RG10 piece 1307 folio 60 page 36) there is a niece Emma 15, shown as surname Pryor according to the transcription on FMP, but could it be Pryce? Difficult to make out either way. Both Jane and Emma are shown to be born in Cornwall, St Kew?? If anyone has a chance to view the census data, could they give me their opinion on the surname? On the original marriage index for 1859 it is written as Jane Pryce. Hmmm! In the 1851 census of Cornwall there is a Jane Pryor 9 yrs, born St. Erth. There is an Emma Prior in the birth index for1856, Bodmin reg. district, Cornwall, shown in the 1861 as born St. Kew, father John 40 born St. Kew, mother Anne 35 born St. Kew, so seems on the right track here so far but I still have not been able to find Jane coinciding with this info in the earlier census data, e.g. 1841. Interesting! (or confusing!) Has anyone heard of St. Erth?" Best wishes Graham Melbourne Oz

But it does have a main line railway station - in 1963 when Flanders and Swann were lamenting the closure of rural branch lines in "The Slow Train" they wrote No one departs, no one arrives >From Selby to Goole, from St Erth to St Ives. They've all passed out of our lives On the Slow Train, on the Slow Train. But they were wrong - it's still fully functional as is the branch line to St Ives. cheers Catherine -----Original Message----- From: Connie Saunders <dccows@comcast.net> To: cornish <cornish@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thu, 24 Jan 2013 16:59 Subject: Re: [CORNISH] PRYOR OR PRIOR Graham, St Erth is about 10 miles North of Penzance.

Hello Graham,   I think that the marriage of John Eames and Jane Pryor may not be the right one.     On the Cornwall OPC database there is a baptism of Emma Jane Prior at St Kew 8th Feb 1857, parents John and Ann. There is a marriage at St Kew 10 May 1845 of John Prior and Ann Wills.  Bride's father's name is Joseph.   There is a baptism of Jane Wills at St Kew 7th Aug 1836, parents Joseph and Jane.   There is a marriage indexed on FreeBMD Dec 1863 which includes the names John Eames and Jane Wills in the four names listed.   Regards,   Joy ________________________________ From: Graham Price <genetree@tpg.com.au> To: cornish@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, 24 January 2013, 1:18 Subject: [CORNISH] PRYOR OR PRIOR Good morning all.

Hi All - Others probably know of this, but it's a new discovery for me. There's a free magazine online at the "Cornish Story" website. You can click on the issue, then read each page. It's full of interesting articles re history, and wonderful photos. Of course, I'm prejudiced, as the cover article in one issue delves into the tall ships at Charlestown! The site is at http://www.cornishstory.com/magazine.html Cheers, Julia M., OPC for Charlestown, St. Austell, St. Blazey, Treverbyn, and Par West Briton Transcriptions, 1836-1856 at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~wbritonad St. Austell Area History and Genealogy at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~staustell OPC website at http://cornwall-opc.org

Two questions: 1. If a person had died prior to 1837 registration requirements and they are not listed in the local parish church burial records is there any kind of record of their death/burial and where could I access it? 2. I have an 1847 marriage reg listing the name of the father of the bride. If he were deceased, would that not be entered on the registration? - or not necessarily so? Thanks for any help. Catherine

WEST BRITON AND CORNWALL ADVERTISER - transcribed by J. Mosman . January 30 1857  . NATIONAL NEWS . It is now known that the Queen will not open Parliament in person. She will, however, hold a council on Monday to approve the speech; and in the evening Lord Palmerston and Lord Granville will give their respective dinners to the Lords and commons. Sir J. Ramsden will move the address in the Commons, and Sir Andrew Agnew will second it. In the Lords the same functions will be discharged by the earl of Cork and Lord Cowper, the latter a step-son of the Premier.  January 28th, 1856 .   LOCAL INTELLIGENCE . CORNWALL COUNTY COURT - The Lord Chancellor has appointed Mr. C.D. BEVAN, of the Middle Temple, to be Judge of the County Court of Cornwall, in the room of Mr. G. G. KEKEWISH, deceased. This appointment of Mr. Bevan creates a vacancy of the Recorderships for Falmouth, Helston, and Penzance.. ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY - Lieutenant L. M. CROKE, R.N., son of Capt. C. COKE, R.N., has received a medal from the Royal Humane Society for preserving the life of a man who had fallen overboard.. PRESENTATION OF MEDALS TO A CAPTAIN AND CREW - We noticed a short time since, that the committee of the Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners' Benevolent Society had resolved to present to Capt. William MARGRATE, of the "Schynyd," of Bristol, and James HIPPETS, Thomas HILL, and Henry APLIN, members of his crew, the honorary silver medals of the society, in acknowledgment of their humane and intrepid conduct in rescuing from a watery grave, when off Cape Cornwall, near the Land's End, on the 21st of August last, the crew of a sinking vessel called the "Elizabeth" of Bideford, and landed them safely at Falmouth.. EXTRAORDINARY COW - A cow, the property of Mr. F.M. WILLIAMS, of Tregullow, which calved on the 29th of October last, and was slaughtered by Mr. Francis CARNE, January 22nd, produced the enormous weight of 130 lbs. of tallow.. SUFFERING FOR CONSCIENCE SAKE - At their last meeting, the Redruth Board of Guardians, by a majority of six to four (several not voting) decided that as the nurse engaged in the hospital of the workhouse had a conscientious objection to take an oath, she was unfit to retain her situation; and although the testimony to her efficient discharge of her duties was unanimous, she received notice to quit.. FALMOUTH - The ship "Columbus" which went on shore during the late gale, near St. Mawes Castle, at the entrance of Falmouth Harbour, was towed off on Monday last, by the new steam tug, which is now hired for the use of ships in that locality. A crew of sixty was hired to pump, and she was towed across the roads and up the inner harbour abreast of Flushing, the water at the time being kept at fifteen feet. She is a fine strong teak-built ship, and it is said she has not suffered much, besides the holes in the bottom of her hull.. COAST GUARD SERVICE - We understand that three officers of Falmouth have been appointed to coast guard stations; Mr. WARREN, to the Prussia Cove station, near Marazion; Mr. WAY, to Coverack; and Mr. SYMONS, to Port Loe. These gentlemen have seen much service and were much respected in the different ships to which they were attached.. CASE OF CHILD DESERTION - On Thursday morning, a young woman about twenty years of age, who said her name was Mary Jane JORY and that her father is a carpenter at Probus, called at the Truro police station and made the following statement to Mr. NASH, police superintendent.. She stated that she had been on a visit to her sister at Penzance, and that she left on Wednesday evening by the last train to come to Truro. On her arrival at the Truro station, a woman in the same compartment of the railway carriage said to her, "will you be kind enough to hold my baby while I get out." She took the infant, and the woman went out, and passed on by the carriages. As she did not return, in a minute or two Mary Jane Jory got out, but could see nothing of the woman on the platform or elsewhere,  she took the child into town and wandered about the streets with it till late at night, when a married woman named BENNETTS met with her, and very kindly gave her and the infant shelter in her house during the night, and attended to their wants.. On Thursday morning, about nine o'clock, Bennetts and Jory went to the police station, as before stated, when Mr. NASH advised Jory to go to the relieving officer of the Truro Union, Mr. RICKARD, in Bridge-street, which she did, and the officer gave her an order to take the child into the Union-house. It was an infant of about three days old, a fine healthy looking boy, neatly dressed in a white robe trimmed with lace, but the garments rather too large.. Mary Jane Jory described the woman who left the child with her as being of rather tall stature, thirty years of age or upwards, very good looking, and her hair inclined to curl. She wore a straw bonnet, light dress, and black cape. At the present time there is no clue to her identity.. TRURO POLICE - On Monday last, before the Mayor, Mr. E. MICHELL, William ROBB, a labourer, was fined  5s. and costs for being drunk and disorderly in the streets on the previous night. On Tuesday, before the Mayor and Mr. PADDON and Mr. CHAPPEL, magistrates, Jane ROBERT, of Ladock, aged about seventeen, and Susan Ann OLIVER, of Mevagissey, about the same age, were charged with stealing a shift, a petticoat, and other articles, the property of Elizabeth ROSEWELL, who lodged in the same house with the prisoner in Calenick-street. Rosewell found they had taken the articles, and went after them, when they used very bad language toward her and went away. She complained to the police, and police constable PAPPIN went in pursuit, and overtook them on the road to Redruth, two miles from Truro. They pleaded guilty to the charge, and were convicted under the Summary Jurisdiction Act, and committed for one month to the house of correction with hard labour.. PENRYN PETTY SESSIONS - These sessions were held on Wednesday last, when Henry MAY, of the parish of St. Erme, was summoned to answer the complaint of Mr. Philip GLASSON, toll-gate keeper at the Bridge Gate, Penryn, for having on the 8th of December last, fraudulently passed through the said toll-gate with a horse and cart without paying the tolls directed to be paid there, namely three pence. .Mr. Galssons stated the case, and called witnesses to prove the evasion; after which the defendant called as witness a lad named PLUMMER, and the defendant's sister, who stated, on oath, that they were both riding in the same cart with Henry MAY, at the time they passed the gate, and that he paid the tolls to Mr. Glasson's daughter. The girl not being present, the bench requested that a messenger should be sent for her, and on her arrival she strongly contradicted the statement of the defendant's witnesses; and the bench considering the case clearly proved, convicted the defendant in the sum of one pound.. CHANDLER'S SHOP ON FIRE - There was an alarm of fire at Falmouth on Wednesday last, which had broken out in the melting shop of Mr. J. HAMBLEN, near the Wesleyan chapel in the town. The fire had a very serious appearance at first, but was got under with only the destruction of the back shop. Had it occurred at night, or when there was much wind, no doubt much greater damage would have ensured. The property destroyed was insured.. FATAL MINE ACCIDENT - On Friday, the 15th inst., an accident occurred at the Phoenix Mines, Linkinhorne, when a man named Matthew THOMAS was most seriously injured; he was preparing to blast a hole, and had carried his operation so far as to fill the same with powder, and then instead of placing some tamping thereon and cleaning the hole from loose powder with a stick, he incautiously passed an iron bar down on the charge, which struck fire from the side of the rock and an explosion took place, causing him severe injuries of the left leg, face, and arm. On being taken to his house, the surgeon of the mine attending, it was found that the lower half of the left leg and foot were very severely crushed, and amputation was deemed necessary at once. .On Sunday mortification attacked the stump, but he was too weak and low for any further procedure, - stimulants were administered freely, in hopes of getting up the circulation. On Monday morning he appeared more comfortable, the mortification still spread and in the evening a consultation, was held between Messrs. KEMPTHORNE, BROWN, and BOWDEN, when it was determined to take off the leg above the knee, the prospect of his surviving for a few hours being very slight without. The operation was performed by Mr. Kempthorne, assisted by the above-named gentlemen; but the poor fellow sunk soon afterwards. He has left a widow and four children. . CORONERS’ INQUESTS – The following inquests have been held by Mr. HICHENS: On Friday, in the parish of Paul, on the body of Elizabeth GRUZELIER, aged 81 years. The deceased, from her great age, had kept to her bedroom for several months past, having a fire therein, but got up every forenoon early, and remained up till evening. On the Tuesday preceding she got up as usual, and after being dressed was taken to the fire side where she was accustomed to sit. .In the afternoon, about three o'clock, her grand daughter (a young woman) who had been sitting with her, left the room and went down stairs to prepare some tea for her, and in about from five to ten minutes, whilst she was so engaged, heard a low moan, and fearing something was amiss, she ran up stairs and found the deceased still seated in her chair, and her clothes burning about her. The deceased's son-in-law (the father of the girl) who was downstairs, being called, went up at once, and with a piece of floor carpeting extinguished the fire, but not till the fore part of the deceased's clothes were entirely consumed, and she dreadfully burnt. She lived till the following morning. Verdict, accidental death.. On the following day, at Newlyn, in the same parish, on the body of Elias COCK, aged sixty-five years, who was found on the preceding day in his bedroom, suspended by a rope fastened to part of the woodwork of the roof, and quite dead. The jury, from their own knowledge of the deceased, as well as from the evidence adduced in proof of his state of mind, felt confident that he was deranged, and returned a verdict of "suicide whilst labouring under temporary insanity.". The following inquests have been held before Mr. GOOD, county coroner: On the 21st inst., at Golbendon, in the parish of Southhill, on the body of Mary ROWELL, fourteen months old. The deceased was the daughter of Thomas ROWELL, an innkeeper, and had been placed in bed with her parents on Monday night. The child was then quite well, and nothing was heard of her during the night, but on the mother awakening about six o'clock on the following morning, she found the infant dead by her side. The parents appeared to be honest, respectable people, and after hearing the evidence the jury were unanimously of opinion that the death arose from natural causes. Verdict accordingly.. On the 22nd instant, at Launceston, on the body of Mary BODY, aged 56. The deceased was a widow residing with her two sons. It appeared from the evidence of her son John, who is a cabinet-maker, that on Tuesday evening last between five and six o'clock, he came home from his work as usual, and had his tea. He afterwards went out, leaving his mother alone in the house. She was then sitting by the fire, and as well as usual. He came home again a little before ten o'clock, and went upstairs to go to bed; he then saw his mother at her bedroom window, and as he supposed looking out; he spoke to her but on receiving no answer became alarmed, and went to fetch his brother-in-law James CATER, who lives next door. They immediately returned together to the bedroom of the deceased, and discovered that she was dead. .There was a quantity of blood in the chamber vessel, and near where the body was found, which had been discharged from the mouth. The deceased had been seen by a young woman, a dressmaker called Louisa BROAD, about nine o'clock, the same evening, standing near her own house. She was at that time quite well, and nothing more was known of her until she was found by her son in the manner before described. The poor woman was undressed, and had been in bed. The jury were of opinion that her death was caused by the rupture of a blood vessel in the lungs, and that she had gone to the window for the purpose of calling some one to her assistance, or it might have been from a sense of suffocation. Verdict, "visitation of God."   Julia M.
