I am trying to find the parents of two children who are living in Penzance Cornwall in 1891. Rosina Sampson was born in Michigan in 1875 and appears as a step sister to William Henry White born in Negaunee,Michigan in 1884. His father was William Thomas White and presumably he married Rosina's widowed mother. By the 1891 census he is a widower, maybe the death of his wife decided him to return to Cornwall. Whether the Sampsons were also Cornish, I don't know. Any clues will be much appreciated. Thank you, Molly Smith.

This is the closest I come ..... don't know if Rosa and Rosina could be one in the same or not. Name: Rosa Sampson Birth Date: 26 Sep 1877 Birthplace: Highland, Osceola, Michigan Gender: Female Race: Father's Name: Orch Moon Father's Birthplace: Michigan Father's Age: Mother's Name: Adelia Sampson Mother's Birthplace: New York Mother's Age: Christening Date: Christening Place: Additional Relatives: Death Date: Death Age: Film Number: 2320453 Digital Folder Number: 4032249 Image Number: 20 Frame Number: Reference Number: item 1 p 276 rn 195 Collection: Michigan Births, 1867-1902 Molly Smith wrote: > I am trying to find the parents of two children who are living in Penzance Cornwall in 1891.

Hello, I am looking for the parents and ancestors of George Crago, born about 1803 in Liskeard and died 1909 in Plumstead, London. He married Elizabeth, ULN, who was born in Duloe. They had six children. Any information regarding above person would be appreciated. Regards, Steade Craigo

Hi Bill Most of the families I am encountering were certainly not old Cornwall but to find them at the same address after over more than 100 years is quite something. I know the Curnows through distant cousins Andrew and May Berryman who lived at Trelocke, Nancledra, Andrew came from a well-known Berryman family in Towednack and now both are , sadly passed on and buried in Towednack Church yard with a truly Cornish headstone.

Pat, Thanks for the interesting comment. The Curnow clan does not appear to be one of the ancient families of Penwith. They seem to have first appeared at Towednack during the 16th century, most likely having relocated from St. Keverne or vicinity. Their initial "beachhead" at Towednack was at or near Embla, so the Curnow folks you knew at Amalebrea (or Amalebra as the OS prefers) in the mid 20th century were within a kilometer or so of where their ancestors had planted a stake in the ground 4 centuries before. The earliest Curnow family reasonably well documented at Towednack was headed by Thomas Curnow (1588-1643) and his wife Catherine. At this stage of our never ending Curnow Family Tree Project, more than 42 thousand descendants of their marriage have been identified, and the 16th generation is beginning to assemble.

Just to add my comment. CFHS have had a record of Monumental Inscriptions at their library for some time. An invaluable resource as it saved huge amounts of time traipsing around graveyards and not finding anything, only to find the person was buried elsewhere. I have used it many times. To have a photographic archive will be a huge addition. Anybody who has ever gone around a graveyard - especially some of the larger ones - will realise what a huge undertaking this project has been. So our thanks to Mike and Ann Hicks for their dedication to this invaluable project.

How silly of me Mary! Late at night ! Sam Uren was chr 1837 in Chacewater. He married Mary Ann Oliver on 5 March 1857. 2 children Lydia b March Q 1858 (died 3/1865) and Samuel George b Dec Q 1859 were probably born Chacewater So Sam had to be in Chacewater up until early 1859 and their next child was born in Australia in 1869. Wife and son Sam migrated Oct 1868 alone. So Sam migrated between early 1859 and 1868. He was a copper miner at Wheal Daniel in Chacewater. 1861 Census Piece: RG9/1561 Place: Truro-Cornwall Enumeration District: 17 Civil Parish: Kenwyn Ecclesiastical Parish: St. Pauls Folio: 77 Page: 25 Schedule: 139 Address: 139 Chacewater Surname First name(s) Rel Status Sex Age Occupation Where Born Remarks UREN Mary Ann Head M F 26 Miners Wife Cornwall - Kenwyn UREN Ann Sislaw U F 30 - Cornwall - Kenwyn - I haven't identified her as yet.

Hi all, I am trying to pin down the date Samuel Uren/Yourn migrated to Australia. His son was born in 1859 and he wasn't with his wife on the 1861 Census. I thought it was him arriving on "Hero" in 1863, but if that was the case, then where was he in 1861?? Can anyone find him on the 1861 most likely in Cornwall, please? Marg A in Oz.

Regarding MIs, May I add to what Ian has posted, that CFHS (thanks to the tremendous work of Mike & Ann Hicks) has already photographed an enormous number of Cornish gravestones which, it is planned, will eventually all be available on DVD. The first DVD - St Cleer - is now available at the offer price of GBP10 from CFHS.

Hi Marg Sorry, no luck finding your Samuel sofar. However, if your Samuel was the one who arrived in 1863 then he arrived from New Zealand, so perhaps that is where you need to look. Other than that, try South Africa as someone else suggested.

Many Cornishmen went to South Africa for a while and then moved on to Australia. This could be what happened to him.

Hi Marg As Uren and variants is a common name can you let us know Samuel year of Birth, the Parish and his Wife's name as this will help to pin him down. You also mentioned the 1861 Census but is that England or Oz.
