Poor Tom is getting everything but an answer to his question of time the Italians were in Cornwall - presumably to establish a family date. Sorry Tom. Thoughts of Italian POWS's bring only happy memories. Whereas the Germans remained in their camps, the Italians were sent out to help on the farms around the district. I have many memories of riding my bike along country lanes around Penzance when I was in my teens (about 1942-4) and being greeted and waved to by the Ities as we called them. I think they were relieved to be out of the war and from under the foot of the Nazis and doing what they liked best - working in the fields of a family farm. I don't recall any of them trying to escape. Sorry Tom Pat

Tom . an Italian pow , saved my sisters life ---she had aged 3 --fallen into the river near where the Italians were working at St Erth-----he could not swim ---he frog hopped across the water . Any info on the pow s would be appreciated ---mainly the year and month they were at St Earth . Janet

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

John Courts was baptized at Cardinham 24 Dec 1820, the son of William Courts and Jane Gill. Elizabeth Anderson was born at Wendron about 1831. He was a groom at Lanhydrock. They had at least 2 children there (1858 and 1859), after which I have found a questionable trail. He may be the John Courts with death registered 2Q 1870 at Camelford at the age of 50. If anyone knows more about this couple after the 1861 census, I would be interested to find that information.

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.

She married William Henry JENKINS there in 1877.Interestingly, one of the brothers was named William JenkinsTreseder, bn 1868. Always pleased to hear from any descendants of this family, some of whom emigrated to the USA & Canada, especially any connection to Grace TRESEDER who went to the US aged 22 & married EPPENHEIMER.

Good morning to all, On Genuki Devon -Upton Pyne http://genuki.cs.ncl.ac.uk/DEV/UptonPyne/WilliamBlamey1811.html I have found this that may interest a few. Sister Mary Oppy of Gwennap in the County of Cornwall the sum of Thirty Pounds to my Sister Ann the Wife of William Long of Gwennap the sum of twenty pounds and to my Sister Catherine Row I have a Mary BLAMEY who married a Samuel LARK at East Stonehouse 16 Apr 1800. Always interested in this name in case I can find out who Mary was. Regards Bev

Thank you transcribers!!! This is my father's grandmother's birth announcement. As Yvonne said, she was Elizabeth CARPENTER, daughter of John CARPENTER and Betsy STEVENS. The birth announcement helps confirm her story that she never knew her father- he went away to work, never returned, and they didn't know what happened to him. It also gives me a lead on where to look for him. Betsy STEVENS was born January 18, 1857, the dgter of Joseph STEVENS and Joice PROUT. Joseph was born abt 1895 in St. Agnes parish and he is probably "Joseph STEPHENS christened 1 Oct 1797 St. Agnes, son of Thomas and Susanna." I'm not sure if his parents are Thomas STEPHENS/Susanna STEPHENS married 1783 or Thomas STEPHENS/Susanna WATERS married 1787, as they appear to having children around the same time in St. Agnes. If anyone has had any success sorting the 2 families out, I'd love to hear from you. --Roberta Richards Peeples Woodland, California -------------------------------------------------- From: "Yvonne Morgan" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, January 20, 2013 3:09 AM To: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [CORNISH-GEN] West Briton, 23 January 1857 - CARPENTER birth >> >> WEST BRITON AND CORNWALL ADVERTISER - transcribed by Lorena Loubsky >> >> 23 Jan 1857 >> . >> >> WEST BRITON AND CORNWALL >> >> BIRTHS >> >> At Carnbrea, near Redruth, on Sunday last, the wife of Mr. John >> CARPENTER, >> late of Carnbrea, but now in Australia, of a daughter. >> > > > This would have been Elizabeth, daughter of John and Betsy CARPENTER, (nee > STEVENS).

This is Philip Wherry Richards, the son of William and Ann. Baptised at the parish church 8 Feb 1857. David Coppin OPC Cardinham WEST BRITON AND CORNWALL ADVERTISER - transcribed by Lorena Loubsky 23 Jan 1857 At Hendra, in the parish of Cardinham, on the 16th instant, the wife of Mr. William RICHARDS, of a son.

Hi there I don't think it is 'son of' as the writer didn't included that in any of the other records. It looks like 'Lamb' or 'Lomb' - maybe the mother's maiden name?
