It describes his experiences in the marines during the Spanish War in 1740 and the War with France in 1744. I have transcribed the book for the benefit of our Members, but I am now trying to research his BMD details. I have found his baptism and burial details in the St Agnes Parish records, but am struggling with his marriage since he got married in or around Plymouth. He was baptised in St Agnes in March 1717, but left home aged 22, so possibly in 1739/40. He says that he was in America in about March 1743, when he learned that war had been declared on France. He then returned to England (journey time?) and was sent to sea again fighting the French, returning injured to Plymouth where he spent 3 months in hospital. On recovery he "entered into the marriage state", and was soon sent off to Portsmouth. From there he sailed for the West Indies, calling at Plymouth en route, and where he left his wife with her parents. I guess that he continued to the West Indies, and on hearing that peace had been declared (when was that?), sailed home again, i.e. a double crossing of the Atlantic. At Plymouth he "found his wife and child with her father, her mother having died". So he must have been away at least 9 months. He then returned to St Agnes having been away for eight years and ten months, i.e. he got home in 1748/49. Now, returning to my search, on Familysearch I have found a possible marriage to a Susanna Tregelly in Brixton (just east of Plymouth) on 24 December 1747 which would fit the above timetable. Does anyone have access to any Devon records that might throw up any other possibilities? Would Ancestry or Findmypast have anything else? (I don't have access to either). If I could confirm the marriage maybe I could find her parents which might lead me to his daughter's name. The book indicates that she was aged 50+ in 1803, giving a possible birthdate of 1748, which would also tie in. In the St Agnes Parish records I have found a Thomas Mitchell burial in September 1808 which would tie in with the book. However, I can't find a burial for a Susanna Mitchell in St Agnes, although there is one for a Nancy Mitchell which would also tie in. So, would Nancy be a diminutive form of Susanna? I'm sorry if I've bored you all to death, but if anyone can help me tie up these loose ends, I'd be very grateful. Tom Thompson, St Agnes. ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Sat, 8 Nov 2014 17:36:54 -0000 From: "Liz" <e.newbery@btinternet.com> Subject: Re: [CORNISH-GEN] [SPAM] Thomas Mitchell of St Agnes To: "'Liz & Tom Thompson'" <lizandtom65@btinternet.com>, <cornish-gen@rootsweb.com> Message-ID: <000d01cffb7a$96baf350$c430d9f0$@newbery@btinternet.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Perhaps he did marry Susanna Tregelly and she could well have died and he married again? I have found that Nancy can be a pet name for a variety of names.

I am trying to confirm a date that I have for the death or burial of Anthony. He was in the Union Workhouse, Madron. Would a death certificate been issued or the info put in a parish record book? I was also still unsuccessful in finding and confirming Anthony's parents. In the Gulval parish book an Anthony is listed as baptized 3 Jan 1808 father Anthony and mother Elizabeth. I cannot find them getting married or being born (confirming the correct Anthony. There is a listing for an Anthony being born in 1806 in the 1841 census. (age rounded down to 35?) Also an Anthony Stevens no dob and marrying in 1834 which is the same the same one in Gulval 1841 census. Their home was very close to Gulval up from the train station in what was listed as Madron and now E. Penzance area (3 Mount St.) Anthony dob 1808 is the Gulval baptism and also in the 1871 census. I believe these are the same person, but it doesn't help me find the Anthony and Elizabeth as parents. There is an Anthony and Ann OATS married in 1798. Thank you for any help.

I did not find him in the 1870 US census or the 1871 census. He is in Calumet in 1881 census and married to Margaret Eddy. He married her in 1878 in Michigan. In the 1900 census he lists PA, immigrated 1870, 30 yrs USA. (I don't know what PA stands for) In the 1910 census he lists NA for naturalized. I cannot find any info on his immigration. Does anyone have any ideas on how to find him. I looked on ancestry, my friend looked through the Canadian passenger lists, I looked today on findmypast, I have used steven morris website, Castle Gardens... I thought perhaps he went somewhere else first but findmypast doesn't have him leaving as far as I can tell. Does anyone have some ideas of where to look next? Thank you. The good part is I did find my great great grandfather and one of his sons leaving for South Africa so all my time was not wasted!
