Hi Julie, Jayne Mansfield's great-grandparents were Henry Jeffery and Eliza Jane Cowling, both born in St Teath in 1856 & 1857, respectively. The Palmer link (I believe) comes when their daughter Beatrice married a Thomas H Palmer in the USA. If you can get in touch with Harry or Carolyn Bray in Pen Argyl Pa, if they are still on the list,  they can tell you more.

Has it been proven that her greatgrandfather was Thomas Palmer from St Teath,  I can see in the various census etc. that it all appears to fit.but is it true?? Cheers Julie

Thanks Ray, Having another look and it seems Thomas H Palmer also came from St Teath, hopefully Harry and Carolyn are still on the list Cheers Julie -----Original Message----- From: cornish-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:cornish-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of RAY WORDEN Sent: Thursday, 14 June 2012 5:30 PM To: cornish@rootsweb.com Subject: [CORNISH] Vera Jayne Palmer/Mansfield Hi Julie, Jayne Mansfield's great-grandparents were Henry Jeffery and Eliza Jane Cowling, both born in St Teath in 1856 & 1857, respectively.
