Is anyone researching the BROWN surname from Tintagel?  One of my brick walls is Mary Ann BROWN born c 1789 judging by census returns and her death certificate. All census returns give her birthplace as Tintagel but there is no entry for her in the baptismal register.  She married Richard LANGDON in Lanteglos by Camelford in 1817.  Richard and Mary Ann's children were Mary Ann (1818), William (1821), Samuel (1823), Thomas (1827), Richard (1832) and Eliza Jane (1837).  The youngest daughter, Eliza Jane, gave her oldest daughter, Bessie, the middle name Brown so maybe that is a clue that her grandmother was Elizabeth Brown? Another possible clue is that there is a visitor, Mary TINNEY aged 6, staying with them in the 1841 census.  I think this is the Mary Ann TINNEY baptised 22 Apr 1834 in the Camelford Wesleyan chapel, daughter of Mary TINNEY.  I have done a bit of investigtion and I think Mary TINNEY (the mother) was the sister of Edward TINNEY who married Grace BROWN at Tintagel in 1838.  In the 1851census Grace is a widow and she and her children are living with parents William (aged 72) and Elizabeth BROWN at Treknow, Tintagel.  William gives his birthplace as Tintagel but unfortunately I can't find a baptism for him either.  I wondered if Mary Ann Langdon was possibly an aunt of Grace Tinney and that was the connection to Mary Tinney.  Of course, little Mary Tinney may just have been a playmate of 4 year old Eliza Jane Langdon.  Any help gratefully received.
