    1. Re: [CORNISH-GEN] The TOY family of Wendron
    2. I sent this to the list two days ago and it has not appeared. Apologies if it does end up appearing twice. For the last ten years I had believed that PETER TOY who married CHRISTIAN ROBERTS on 13 OCT 1780 in Wendron was the son of PETER TOY and CATHERINE TRESSIDER who was christened on 13 DEC 1761 in Wendron. To support this, there is a burial record for a PETER TOY on 26 NOV 1829 in Wendron aged 67. Image my surprise, when going through the on line Wendron parish register, I found a burial record for PETER TOY the son of PETER AND CATHERINE on 15 Aug 1779. This would have made him around 18 years when he died. Normally, I've only seen the parents names mentioned for young children. I stand to be corrected ! According to the IGI there are six children named as being of Peter and Catherine:- Catherine 18 Sep 1754 in Helston (born in Wendron) Elizabeth 7 Nov 1756 in Wendron Ann 23 Dec 1759 in Wendron Peter 13 Dec 1761 in Wendron Jone 30 Dec 1764 in Constantine John 27 Oct 1767 in Constantine I am now wondering whether I have the correct Peter Toy and the one that was buried in 1779 was from another family called Peter and Catherine or maybe it was written down wrong in the register. However, I can found no other marriage entry for a Peter and Catherine. If the information is correct and the Peter that was buried was in deed the son of Peter and Catherine Tressider, who was the Peter who married Christian Roberts ? Any help and advice would be appreciated.
