Hello Joanne and Mary, The middle part of the jigsaw is beginning to be filled . The question of CAMMER TACKNOTT seems to have been resolved by the suggestion that it was CAMBORNE TUCKING MILL.........Tuckingmill was a village in the Parish of Illogan where Emanuel BLIGHT was born and I am more than convinced that this is the right answer. His marriage and death also remain something of a question mark, if only that in 1882 according to a newspaper there was already an Elizabeth BLIGHT. This could have been that his future wife, nee BROFEY, and he were already living together and she was calling herself Elizabeth BLIGHT for respectability purposes!! Thank you both for all the details.......the mystery of Emanuel BLIGHT is being unravelled.
