The Cornwall Family History Society Research Database has only one *ath* ri*rd baptism hit in the 1800-1809 period: RICKARD Catherine Dau RICKARD John - Joanna St Enoder 1 May 1809 So this Catherine Rickard, daughter of John and Joanna, was baptized 1 May 1809 at St Enoder. My own Rickards wound up in St Enoder and nearby St Stephen in Brannel, and so far I have hit a wall on the c1668 births of the oldest couple (William and Ann Trezenga married 4 Aug 1688 at St Enoder). ________________________________ Date: Wed, 9 Jan 2013 17:10:46 -0000 From: "Rosemary & Stan Rodliffe" <[email protected]> Prodded into action by Peter Rickard from down-under I returned after a gap of several years to check out the information we have on my husband's RICKARD ancestors at St Columb Minor. His 2xgreat grandfather was Richard RICKARD whose entries in the census always recorded an age consistent with birth around 1804 at St Columb Minor. We had thought that Richard's parents were Enoder RICKARD and Mary nee CHAPEL and that would have placed his baptism in 1808 - nothing impossible about baptism aged 4 we thought. But recently I have taken advantage of the PR scans on FamilySearch and it now seems most likely that Enoder's son Richard died in 1829 aged 21 and was buried at St Columb Minor. So now we have a problem because we have searched parish records at findmypast and looked through all the PR scans for St Columb Minor but can find no probable Richard. A Catharine RICKARD born in 1806 married John HOOPER at St Columb Minor in 1836 and was living next door to our Richard at Quintrel Down in 1841 so she might have been his sister but we can find no record of her baptism. Grateful for knowledge of any sources other than those at FamilySearch, findmypast and Cornwall OPC that may contain sightings of Richard or Catharine. Best wishes Rosemary Rodliffe

Hello All - HELP WANTED - a person living in or near Cornwall, who would be willing to visit the Cornish Library in Redruth once a month or so - to digitally photograph or capture images of the West Briton from 1810 to 1835. The Cornish Library is the only source we've found for the earlier issues. We transcribers have plenty of work ahead of us going into the 1860's, but we'd LOVE to transcribe some of the earlier papers as well! They're in worse shape, and have plenty of wrinkles, rips, and rough edges, but they were more reflective of the unique culture of Cornwall. Later papers seem to have 'standardized' to a great degree- but it's plain fun to read the earlier pieces, when even the titles of each article were amusing!! we've been told by the Library that they hold a Microfilm of the West Briton, from 1810 onward, which a person could digitally film or capture onto a flash drive (memory stick). You wouldn't need to film the entire collection, of course, just the "Local Intelligence" and BMDs - unless the earlier papers split the news into more columns than that. (But it seems they didn't, if the 1836 issues were an example.) Please let me know if you're interested, and would like to help the effort! (An if multiple people volunteer, it would be WONDERFUL!)

Hello Margaret As you rightly say, the first Bodmin gaol was built in 1779. This replaced the County Gaol which was housed in Launceston Castle. Apparently, conditions at Launceston were so bad that some JPs felt unable to commit prisoners to that prison. According to Pat Munn's book "The Cornish Capital" the new gaol superseded the House of Correction and Debtors' Prison. These establishments had hitherto existed as separate premises in the town, the former near the Church Stile and the latter in Crockwell Street. It might be worthwhile contacting the Bodmin Museum for more information, at the following address: [email protected] Colin Ward On Jan 9, 2013 3:56 AM, "Margaret Bauer" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Listers, > Hoping some History buff can help me here with a little knowledge. > I have a person (the spouse of a sibling to one of my direct ancestors) > back > in Tudor times. > This person died in gaol and was buried at Bodmin on the 20th May 1592. > At first (last year) I just added this in my records and thought no more > about it. > However, now I want to write a story of the reason this individual was > there, and so thought a few paragraphs about Bodmin Gaol in the early times > would start off a little background. > With a little digging I now find that Bodmin Gaol was not even built until > 1776 which is some 184 years still to pass after my John Cosgarne died > there. > Obviously there must have been some earlier detention centre or prison > there > for incarcerating people for what ever their charges were, but I do not > seem > to be able to find anything about that earlier period of history of Bodmin, > that would give me some couple of paragraphs about it. > John was originally from Gwinear so to imprison him at Bodmin was to take > him some near forty-two miles (I think), so it must have been some sort of > gaol that was a substantial structure even back then, and in 1565 when his > problems first began would have been a fair way to take someone I guess > especially along roads in those ancient times. > > Any suggestions would be helpful > Thankyou > Margaret > ************************* > Margaret Bauer > Queensland, Australia > [email protected] > ************************* > > > ------------------------------- > Listmom: [email protected] or [email protected] > > Visit the OPC (Online Parish Clerk) web page for transcription information > http://www.cornwall-opc.org/ > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > quotes in the subject and the body of the message >

Hi All Looking for anyone who might have a connection to 2nd Lieut. Wilfred James HILL, Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry, who died of wounds 17 September 1916. He was born 21 Sep 1893 the son of Sampson and Elizabeth Ann HILL (nee TREVENA) of Green Lane, Redruth. His parents died in 1917 and 1935 respectively. He had brothers Frederick Ewart HILL (born 1896) and William Alan HILL (born 1898). Frederick died in Redruth in 1972. William died on active service in 1917. He also had a sister Elizabeth Margery who did not marry, as far as I can ascertain, and who died in 1987. Cheers Chris Uphill mailto:[email protected]

Hi Listers, Hoping some History buff can help me here with a little knowledge. I have a person (the spouse of a sibling to one of my direct ancestors) back in Tudor times. This person died in gaol and was buried at Bodmin on the 20th May 1592. At first (last year) I just added this in my records and thought no more about it. However, now I want to write a story of the reason this individual was there, and so thought a few paragraphs about Bodmin Gaol in the early times would start off a little background. With a little digging I now find that Bodmin Gaol was not even built until 1776 which is some 184 years still to pass after my John Cosgarne died there. Obviously there must have been some earlier detention centre or prison there for incarcerating people for what ever their charges were, but I do not seem to be able to find anything about that earlier period of history of Bodmin, that would give me some couple of paragraphs about it. John was originally from Gwinear so to imprison him at Bodmin was to take him some near forty-two miles (I think), so it must have been some sort of gaol that was a substantial structure even back then, and in 1565 when his problems first began would have been a fair way to take someone I guess especially along roads in those ancient times. Any suggestions would be helpful Thankyou Margaret ************************* Margaret Bauer Queensland, Australia [email protected] *************************

Hi Margaret, My first thought was Launceston Castle which was a prison in the 1500's. There was, however, a jail at Bodmin which was referenced in the 1620 The Visitation of the County of Cornwall. One James NANSPIAN was said to have been arrested by the sheriff for debt "and imprisoned in her late Majesty's prison in Bodmin".

I am very sorry to hear to hear about your cancer and wish you well.   I used to subscribe to Ancestry and have used occasional offers of free credits on Find My Past and they seem to have a lot of similar information.  I found a subscription very useful in the early days when I had a lot of information to gather but once I was left looking for more elusive information and trying to fill in gaps it seemed a lot of money for a very small return so I tend to go for Pay per View now.      You don't mention the Devon parishes you are interested in, have you checked on Genuki Devon recently?  There are several parishes on the Devon side of the Tamar with register transcriptions available.  Also, I have had a lot of help from OPCs and Genuki will tell you if there is one available for the parish you are interested in.  Neil Stanton's website has information for Bridestowe, Bradstone, Sydenham Damerel, Kelly and Sourton: http://opcdev.co.uk/   You can sometimes find interesting information indexed on Access to Archives, especially if an ancestor applied for parish relief and underwent a Settlement Examination:     http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/advanced-search.aspx?tab=1&ContainAllWords= Best wishes,   Joy   ________________________________ From: Elizabeth Marcheschi <[email protected]> To: [email protected]; [email protected] Sent: Monday, 7 January 2013, 22:07 Subject: [CORNISH-GEN] Question about subscription data bases Hi all,         Although I've been involved here since about 1997, I've been away from genealogy & the lists for several years, but I suddenly have time, due to illness (ovarian cancer - I'm very upfront about it because I had no symptoms, family history & it was found accidently - at Stage IIIc so I want everyone to watch every lady from 16 to 116 years old, around you, just in case!).         Thus, I have so many questions on how best to "catch-up" with what is out there.

Hi Beth, Really sorry to hear about your cancer and I wish you well. As for pay-per-view or subscription sites, they all depend on people transcribing them - and most do it for the money rather than generosity. Over the years, I have heard folk say "I'm only human" and "We all make mistakes" - so work on the basis that all the time people are only human, then they will make mistakes. Ancestry can be more tedious to navigate - and remembering to change the country can be a nuisance - but their census results can be more informative (showing spouses or parents and place of birth). If you can afford both, take both. As for records in Devon, search the archives for Devon-L - you should find details of cd-roms from DFHS which may help.

Hello Beth, Welcome back and so glad to know that your cancer was caught in time, one of my biggest fears is getting this type of thing that has no symptoms. I could not live without Ancestry or FMP, I go to LDS every week when it is open and get what records I need after looking at the Index. There are a lot of Army Records on one of them, cannot remember which one now. FMP is gradually getting some of the Devon PR's on-line, they have most of Plymouth already, plus Whitchurch [which has a lot of Cornwall folk marrying there] and I think they also have Walkampton. What are some of your names from the Devon side of the border, you did not say? Good luck.

Hi Beth Personally I don't find much on findmypast when compared to Ancestry but we all have different needs so you might well As they do a 14 free trial, I would suggest trying them out first Or if you have an LDS FHS near enough they may have it If you make a list of the items and areas you are interested in and then give it a good try out, its surprising how much you can get done in a fortnight They have a worldwide site but personally I would advise against it as its search is awful and it does not cover all the databases on the UK site (which is bizarre for a site called worldwide) Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 07/01/2013 22:07, Elizabeth Marcheschi wrote: > Hi all, > Although I've been involved here since about 1997, I've been away > from genealogy & the lists for several years, but I suddenly have time, due > to illness (ovarian cancer - I'm very upfront about it because I had no > symptoms, family history & it was found accidently - at Stage IIIc so I > want everyone to watch every lady from 16 to 116 years old, around you, > just in case!). > Thus, I have so many questions on how best to "catch-up" with what > is out there.

Hi Carolyn, If I recall correcty, try looking in St. Ives for this pair as I seem to recall them being (Anthony being the giveaway) as part of the Quick line. The old story is that in the 1300's / 1400's or so the Quicks, the Stevens and the Michells were bringing their cattle from Ireland and once again, their boat crashed near St Ives, and they realized that this was superb land for grazing their dairy herds and decided to stay. I don't recall who were the owners and who were the drovers, but they all intermarried and eventually spread out a bit further - largely to Gulval. Hope this helps!

See if you can differentiate between them by applying naming patterns to their respective children, ie. the first son takes the christian name of the father's father, etc. Colin Ward On Jan 7, 2013 12:00 AM, "Carolyn Haines" <[email protected]> wrote: > 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.

Could it read Skews Bud or a variant like Scows Bud? Is so this is a small street in Tuckingmill

The above baptism record image is shown at... https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-266-11826-143404-75?cc=1769414&wc=MMVH-J3M:n589216406 Page 11, No. 85... It reveals an Abode name of what appears to be "Skues"... This same abode name appears on the previous, adjacent page for a baptism, No. 82 for Elizabeth WILLIAMS... My question is... Is Skues a Place name, District or would it be a Farm/Property name? Another question is... Under the heading of... "By whom the Ceremony was performed"... Appears to be the name 'TREVENEN'... Other entries show what appears to be a Rev. <J> or <I> or <T> TREVENEN... A simple Google search reveals a... "...Rev. John TREVENEN, Curate of Camborne, born c1712, married c1740, died c1775..." and a "Rev. Thomas TREVENEN" [son of Rev. John TREVENEN] "Camborne, Cornwall, died 1816"... Maybe what I thought looks like a <J> could be a <T>??? Would this, Rev. Thomas TREVENEN, be the same person who performed the baptism ceremony for Nanny HANCOCK? TREVENEN is not my family... Nanny HANCOCK is my 2x great-grandaunt... Thank you Hilton Doidge Waikato New Zealand

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.
