Hi, I wonder if anyone could direct me in the right direction to find any records on John Williams born in Bodmin in 1816 to Thomas Williams and Phillipa Bake. John married Ann Goninnan Cruett in Bodmin in 1840, and our family story says that he was expelled out of Cornwall and England to Canada sometime after he married, but before 1844. Is there any way to find out what John was involved in to be deported to Canada? Thanks, Lynda

The death of JAMES HAWTON seems to have been registered during the Dec. Quarter 1851 (Launceston, 9. 109) which confirms the newspaper year of death. I would suggest the transcript of the headstone is incorrect - it should be 1851 instead of 1853. A mistake in transcribing headstones of this age is not unusual - they get pretty worn. The difference in one year in his age is probably not unusual. Mike, Redruth.

Hi Listers > At Ventorden, in the parish of Stokeclimsland, on the 2nd instant, Mr. James HAWTON, aged 85 years. I think this may be my 4GG Uncle, but I'm a bit confused - or else the stonemason, working later, was, as this was what appeared on his headstone:- Sacred to the memory Mary, wifeof James Hawton ofVenterdon in this parishwho died May 26 1843aged 74 years James Hawtonfor 50 yrsParish Clerk of thisParish who died Oct 2nd 1853 aged 86 yearsHis upright and humbledemeanour caused him universal respect Many thanks to William and all other transcribers of the West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser. Kind regards joy

Hi All - I've been indexing/transcribing the St. Austell, Charlestown, and Treverbyn church/parish registers, knowing that the images would be put on FamilySearch, but not knowing when. So I'm not quite done!! Sorry for that - will keep on until the baptisms are complete, at least. (And then will finish burials, if there's a need.) Right now, Baptisms are from 1632 to 1775 (I'm uploading the last bit tonight) and from 1813 to 1850. Marriages are done from 1565 to 1900, and the early years of burials aren't done. I don't have any municipal cemetery records, unfortunately. People can use the database on the St. Austell website to search for individuals, either by year or using the search function on the main page (so by name), finding the appropriate entry, then if they want to, they can look at the originals on FamilySearch; many of the marriages have family signatures, etc. that can be of interest. I've tried to include the parish register page numbers to help identify which image you'll need to view. LDS has received copies of many of my transcriptions, so they'll soon have an index to go along with the original images as well. The best thing is that the St. Austell website has LOTS of "supporting" information, such as the tithe map index from 1841 - which is a record of all owners, lessees and residents of land in the parish. There is also information from various taxes (such as hearth) and transcriptions of various Directories that might prove helpful, too. Hopefully, it's worth a look. It's great to have the original registers online; you can check questionable entries for yourself, and puzzle over various entries that perplexed the transcriber[s] - LDS deserves a huge "thank you"!!!!

Hello, Pat (and list)-- Regarding separate housing for workhouse children, I've just finished reading Dickens' "Oliver Twist" (for the first time!), which was written shortly after the 1834 Poor Laws took effect. The early chapters deal with the orphaned Oliver's being housed with a number of other children in truly "Dickensian" conditions (this is before he went to London, met Fagin and the Artful Dodger, etc.). The matron took money to feed the children, then skimped on what she gave them and kept the balance for herself.... Don't know how long this separation was practiced, but you might want to keep it in mind while looking at the census returns.

Hi, I can relate as I see my grt. grandfather on the list for the workhouse in Helston in 1851 (Isaac Medlyn with his mother Lucy, and also see her brother Richard as well) When doing my research on the family I found Lucy passed in 1853 and her brother in 1856. Not sure if Lucy's mother raised him or who did as I do not find Isaac anywhere in the 1861 census. I do not believe he would have been able to immigrate to U. S. at 13. I do find him in the 1870 census in the U. S. . Possibly he remained in the poorhouse and the others got out? Would a child have remained behind their mother? She was from Sithney and shows up in the burials of Sithney as does her brother. Would they have sent the body to Sithney? Or could she have been released as her brother and my grt. grandfather remained? The listing for the workhouse in Helston is very difficult to read for 1861. Would they have done this? Anyone? Secondly, in the U. S. I remember my aunt who was 92 when she passed spoke of families becoming " overwhelmed" with the number of children they had allowing their children to go with another family to be raised and not necessarily relatives. They would take them in and raise them as their own children without benefit of formal adoption. I should add that her mother was also a midwife in the early 1900's Jan Neuman Ishpeming, Michigan . -----Original Message----- From: longweav@juno.com <longweav@juno.com> To: cornish-gen@rootsweb.com Sent: Tue, Aug 3, 2010 5:07 pm Subject: Re: [CORNISH-GEN] Paupers Hello, Pat (and list)-- Regarding separate housing for workhouse children, I've just finished reading ickens' "Oliver Twist" (for the first time!), which was written shortly after he 1834 Poor Laws took effect. The early chapters deal with the orphaned liver's being housed with a number of other children in truly "Dickensian" onditions (this is before he went to London, met Fagin and the Artful Dodger, tc.). The matron took money to feed the children, then skimped on what she ave them and kept the balance for herself.... Don't know how long this separation was practiced, but you might want to keep it n mind while looking at the census returns.
