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

Hi Lynda Sadly Williams is a very common name as far as Convictions are concerned so had no luck on that score. Believe the following are the Family in the 1841 Census at Bodmin : Higher Bore Street,1,Thomas Williams,60,,Shoe Maker,In county, ,,Phillipa Williams,,60,,In county, ,,James Williams,20,,Carpenter,In county, ,,Elizabeth Williams,,15,,In county, Higher Bore Street,1,John Williams,25,,Mason,In county, ,,Ann Williams,,25,,In county, http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kayhin/40152a.html As far as the Family story that he had been expelled from Cornwall and England it reminded me of what my Grandmother had told me. She said that someone in the Family had disgraced it by marrying the servant so had been expelled to the mainland from the \isles of Scilly. What I found when I started my Family search was that it was her Grandfather who had married the servant and a Farm was bought for them at Gwinear whereas his Parents only lived in Lelant and not Scilly! So stories can get distorted over the years start ! I have had a quick look at the Shipping Lists,so far with no luck but start by looking at http://www.cyndislist.com/ships.htm#Lists Good Luck Mary ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lynda Brattan" <gbrattan@rogers.com> To: <CORNISH-GEN@rootsweb.com> Sent: 05 August 2010 16:20 Subject: [CORNISH-GEN] John Williams from Bodmin to Canada > Hi, I wonder if anyone could direct me in the right direction to find any -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter.

Hi Lynda You might find something in a previous transcription of the West Briton -----Original Message----- From: cornish-gen-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:cornish-gen-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Lynda Brattan Sent: Thursday, 5 August 2010 11:21 PM To: CORNISH-GEN@rootsweb.com Subject: [CORNISH-GEN] John Williams from Bodmin to Canada 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.

Sorry Lynda, I pressed the wrong buttons. Past transcripts of the West Briton are contained in the Archives of this list and contain a lot of material regarding trials and trial outcomes. I'd like to give you the address but, as usual when in a hurry, I can't find it! I'm sure there will be someone on the List who will point you in the right direction.
