I took a number of photos in Landulph graveyard today of various ancestors. Among the photos were several of gravestones of the MAY family. Unfortunately, my Mays came from somewhere else. Is there anyone else out there researching the family who would like these photos before I delete them? Ivor Jones

Hi everyone Just to let everyone know that you can now take a street level tour of Cornwall through the lanes and villages of our ancestors thanks to Google maps street view. Roger Blewett Hayle, Cornwall

Thank you Rod for such a good explanation. I suppose the family Bible was an alternative source of recording baptisms, marriages and deaths in those days. I appreciate your insight.

Hi Jan, I don't think adoption was actually legalised until 1925 or 28, so prior to that it would be the birth mother's name on the certificate. The natural father's name was only added if he went to the registry office with her. Hope that helps a bit.

I have come across cases where Methodist chapels have all their records for 200 years happily gathering dust in a cupboard and nobody has any idea what is there. I imagine this is equally true for other denominations as well and if anyone had the time or the energy to search around quantities of material could be found. But who is going to do it?

Hi Elizabeth If they were Bible Christians, Peter's baptism would be on the Non-Conformist registers, not the Parish registers. The NC circuits covered large areas similar to the registration districts of today, one circuit covering many parishes, the NC priests visiting different chapels in turn.

Is anybody researching the above two families. St Austell and Roche area. I have made some inroads into the research for a friend who is coming over from New Zealand in a couple of weeks. She is wanting to visit the various places of their ancestors and if there is anybody who has any connections with the above, please contact me off list. The family went out to New Zealand between 1866 and 1871 as far as I can make out. I don't need any information from Census' etc, I have all that. Many thanks.

Elizabeth Peter may have been born in one of the small villages close to St Juliot or Tremaine. Not all of the parish registers are transcribed and in the OPC Cornwall database yet. If you used something like Mapquest.co.uk or Multimap.co.uk to locate St Juliot in Cornwall then you could pinpoint some of the other small villages around it. Then use the Parish Index on the OPC Cornwall site to contact the OPCs for those villages. They may have images of the Registers or be working on transcriptions of the Registers They will certainly be willing to help you with your search. I have images for St Juliot.

Does anyone on the List know of this Thomas Polglase ? I have researched the Polglase family but have never found a christening date for him or managed to found out any details of his family. I believed he married Jane Allen on 5 DEC 1835 in Sithney. Jane was buried in Breage on 15 NOV 1843. They had a daughter called Mary Jane Polglase in 1838 but she disappears after the 1841 census. Regards Peter Lane Essex, UK cfhs 11761 MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE - On the morning of Thursday, the 9th inst., as some persons were proceeding from Helston to Penrose, they found a hat on the banks of the Loe Pool, and on further search, some part of a gig was seen above water. A boat belonging to the Rev. CANON ROGERS, of Penrose, was quickly brought to the spot, and after dredging about for some time, they discovered, in about eight feet of water, the lifeless body of THOMAS POLGLASE, a driver employed at the Angel Inn, Helston. >From every appearance he must have been dead for many  hours. On the previous evening, (Wednesday) deceased left Penrose House about seven o'clock (where he had driven Mr. REGINALD ROGERS) for Helston, and it is supposed that when the horse, which was a spirited one, had to take the water, which overflowed the road, it became restive, and must have got off the road into deep water, precipitating the driver at the same time out of the gig, who was so heavily clad as to render it impossible to save himself, and both man and horse were drowned. The unfortunate man had driven over the same road in the morning, but the water had risen nearly two feet during the day and so completely covered some parts of the road as to render it difficult to find the road. The deceased was forty-one years of age, and was a sober, careful man, and a good servant. It is rather remarkable that two relatives of the deceased, of the same name as himself, an uncle and a cousin, were both drowned, and a brother of his was killed in Truro some time ago. It appears that the accident happened in the parish of Sithney, which is in the jurisdiction of MR. HICHENS, one of the county coroners, but the body was taken to deceased's residence in Helston, which raised a difference of opinion as to the right of inquiry between Mr. Hichens and Mr. ROSKRUGE, the borough coroner, and eventually each coroner empanelled a jury and held an investigation. Mr. Hichens held his inquiry first, and a verdict of "found drowned" was returned. Mr. Roskruge, conceiving that the 6th Victoria c.12 gave him jurisdiction, intimated by letter to the county coroner that he should also hold an inquest, and it is stated that he intends to take the opinion of the Queen's Bench on the subject, by moving to quash Mr. Hichens's inquisition. Mr. Hichens, however, affirms his right to hold the inquest, interpreting the meaning of the act to be, that the Corner whose jurisdiction extends to the place where the body was lying at the time of death, shall hold the inquiry thereon. -------------------------------------------------------------- Sent with "Me-Mail", Boltblue's FREE mobile messaging service. http://www.boltblue.com

Thank you Mary - this is a great site. I have bookmarked it. I found Peter's sister Ann, brother John, and the marriage for his parents, but nothing for Peter. I did a search under his mother and father's name in case he had another first name - but there was nothing for him. Perhaps he was baptised outside of Cornwall. I appreciate your help.
