Hi all, I am back to square one with Anthony Stevens bapt we think 1808 Gulval with parents Anthony and Elizabeth. I cannot find a marriage for Anthony and Elizabeth in Cornwall at least with the records in the OPC database or with the Cornwall Parish Register site. There is an Andrew and Elizabeth Eddy 1797 Gulval and an Andrew and Elizabeth Richards 1808. Wondering how to tell them apart IF one of them is the correct one. So far in 11 years I have only found one child for Anthony and Elizabeth and no marriage. Any help appreciated. I am sort of getting to get discouraged as I haven't been able to figure this out.

Looking at the other baptisms in Gulval, I am wondering if the clerk made an error on the register.  There are baptisms at Gulval in 1812 and 1814, parents Anthony and ANNE Stevens.  I also found this document indexed on Access to Archives (note the date of the document and the age of Anthony):   "Sessions held at Lostwithiel 10th January 1809 Appeal by Gulval against order of 10 Nov. last for removal of Anne Stevens, and her children Nancy (10), John (6), and Anthony (1) from St. Just in Penwith: held over."   There is a marriage of Anthony Stephens and Anne Oats at St Just in Penwith 14 Apr 1798, Groom's residence Maddron.   I think Nancy is the Anne Stevens d/o Anthony baptised Penzance 21 Oct 1798 and John is the baptism at Madron 26 Jul 1802 s/o Anthony.    Anthony Stephens is a witness at the marriage of John Stephens to Ann Mathews at Madron 7th Apr 1833 (groom otp residing Penzance).   I can't help to prove it but it is worth considering as a possibility.    Regards,   Joy ________________________________ From: Carolyn Haines <hainesc@msu.edu> To: CORNISH-L@rootsweb.com; cornish-gen-l@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, 6 January 2013, 23:59 Subject: [CORNISH] Back to Anthony Stevens AGAIN Hi all, I am back to square one with Anthony Stevens bapt we think 1808 Gulval with parents Anthony and Elizabeth.
