    3. Hello Bob Diane and all; Benjamin's (b 1701) line is complicated by his second marriage. Jane (Foss) his first wife was buried on either Dec 13th 1727 or Dec 30th 1728. If 1727 was right, maybe she died in childbirth, I hadn't spotted that before. He then married Sarah Murrish in 1729 and I have all the subsequent baptisms in a safe place at the moment!. Sarah was buried 6th November 1755. Regarding Benjamin's 1793 burial, I probably inferred that from the probate date. I know they were living in the parish at Trythogga about that time. A family note:- there are several Catherine's mentioned in the correspondence. James Rooberts (b 1808) had a daughter Catherine born at Goddens in Gulval on September 11th 1840; her first daughter was Annie Roberts James, and her eldest daughter was Catherine Jane Hutchens - my mother, so this followed through from the late 1600s. For Diane, I reckon the Hutchens connection comes from William, son of William Hewchen (sic) (1607-94) born in Paul. His marriage to unknown Phillipa i cannot find, but I am descended from their son Nicholas baptised at St Buryan 3rd March 1643. The family were in St Buryan until the 1700s hen they crossed the parish boundary to St Levan, and then in the mid 19th century to Paul and then Penzance, where I was born. James Roberts farmed at Goddens and Trevaylor, and there is a headstone in Gulval churchyard detailing his wife Anne and some family. I have his will. Penzance is not so muggy today- Cheers, Horton B
