Many Cornish parish records have been transcribed and can be found on the Cornwall OPC database: http://www.cornwall-opc-database.org/search-database/ I couldn't see John's baptism in the Cornwall OPC database although several baptisms of William and Jane Baglow's children do appear at St Mabyn between 1835 and 1851 (various spellings of Baglow). There is a birth registration indexed on FreeBMD but the only way to obtain the details is to purchase the birth certificate from the GRO. Birth: BEGOLOW John, Bodmin registration district, Sep quarter 1841 Bodmin is the registration district for St Mabyn. Obtaining the birth certificate will confirm whether his parents were William Baglow and Jane Wills. All of the Cornwall census returns between 1841 and 1891 are available on http://www.freecen.org.uk/cgi/search.pl In 1851 John is a servant at Paul's Ground, St Mabyn for Joseph West farmer. William Baglow is a widower aged 44, born Davidstow and he has children William, Elizabeth. Richard W, and Lovedy living with him and there is a visitor, Jane Shovel, widow aged 42, born St Teath, with them. Jane Baglow, age 50, was buried at St Mabyn 14 Jan 1851. William Baglow, age 68, was buried at St Mabyn 15 Jan 1875. In 1841 William and Jane are living at Kellypark, St Mabyn with children Mary aged 4 and William aged 2 and Ann Baglow aged 20 is with them. There is a baptism at Minster 09 Jan 1814 - William BAGLA son of John and Jenny. Minster borders Davidstow which is the birthplace given by William on the 1851 census. Although this is later than William's age on the census returns and his burial record, he may have been baptised as a small child rather than as a baby. John and Jenny also baptised a child, Ann, at Blisland in 1820 and this could be the Ann listed in William's household in 1841. On the 1851 census there is a John Baglow aged 76, born Hartland, Devon living at St Mabyn. In 1832 John Bagalow married Margaret Jenkin at St Mabyn and this could be the second marriage you refer to. There is a baptism at Hartland, Devon: John Baghilhole 31 Dec 1780, mother Loveday. No father named. There is a baptism at Hartland 30 Mar 1750 Loveday Baghilol, parents William and Elizabeth. William Baghilol married Elizabeth Wakely 14 Jan 1749 at Hartland. There is a tree on Rootsweb World Connect which includes Loveday Baghilol of Hartland http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=meb1968&id=64493060 Regards, Joy Langdon ----Original message---- >From : cornish-gen@rootsweb.com Date : 15/05/2015 - 09:18 (GMTST) To : CORNISH-GEN@rootsweb.com Subject : [CORNISH-GEN] BAGLOW of St Mabyn I have recently started to do some work on my son-in-law’s family tree .His father has done a lot and has published a delightful book but of course it cannot be illustrated as a tree by this means. I have been into genealogy since 1954 and am trying to copy the data into my FTM. Lack of mobility ( I am 83) gives rise to some difficulty and I should be grateful for any help available particularly if there is anyone with a Baglow family interest. My own tree goes from Dumfries to Kent but does not go any further west than Weston-super-Mare so Cornwall is untrodden until now . I have had some suggestions from the Bodmin list which are useful However some "wise !"American academic suggested that I look in Ancestry which I did find rather hilarious!!?! The branch of the family that concerns me goes back to a John Baglow born in 1841 at St Mabyn. He seems to have left home, possibly having fallen out with his dad, and gone to Aldershot as a private in the hospital corps. His marriage certificate to Sarah Hayward (born. Dover) gives his father as William and there is a marriage at St Mabyn in 1834 of William and Jane WILLS which is probably relevant. He seems to have been one of 7.children.The book then suggests a John Baglow who married and Jennifer Chapman m. Egloshayle 1807. John seems to have married again about 1832 in St Mabyn. Further back a Loveday Bagelhole of Hartland is mentioned and further back still there is some rather vague and unconfirmed data Any info would be gratefully received DrGeneal ------------------------------- Listmom: ybowers@gmail.com or CORNISH-GEN-admin@rootsweb.com Visit the OPC (Online Parish Clerk) web page for transcription information http://www.cornwall-opc.org/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to CORNISH-GEN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
