The West Briton (Friday, 15 Jan 1858) reported the following death at St. Just in Penwith: > DEATHS > > At St. Just, on Friday last, Mr. Richard TREGEAR, aged 67 years... There is good reason to believe that the deceased was actually Rachel TREGEAR, as was reported by The Royal Cornwall Gazette (Friday, 15 Jan 1858): "At St. Just, on [Wednesday] the 6th inst., Rachel TREGEAR, for many years a servant in the family of the late John RICHARDS, Esq., from whom she enjoyed a pension of £10 a year." The death of Rachel TREGEAR was registered at Penzance during 1Q1858, but there was no registration during that quarter of the death of a Richard TREGEAR. Rachel TREGEAR was buried at the Wesleyan Cemetery, St. Just in Penwith on 09 Jan 1858. Rachel JAMES was baptized 31 May 1789 at St. Just, the daughter of Robert JAMES and his wife Christian WILLIAMS. She married John TREGEAR at St. Just on 18 Nov 1823. Her husband died just a bit more than a year after their marriage, and he was buried at St. Just on 09 Mar 1825. There is no record of any children born to their brief marriage.
