The West Briton (Friday, 08 Oct 1858) reported the following birth at Towednack: "At Amalveor, Towednack, the wife of Mr. Matthew TREWHELLA, of a son." It is perhaps more likely that this child was the son of William TREWHELLA (1835-1896), who was in turn the son of Matthew TREWHELLA (1802-1876) and his wife Johanna TREWHELLA (1804-1881). William married Catherine Nicholls MARTINS (ca.1832-1907) at Towednack on 11 Jul 1858, and the son whose birth was reported would have been the first child born during their marriage. He was probably the William TREWHELLA whose birth was registered at Penzance during 3Q1858 and whose death was registered in the same district during 1Q1859. William & Catherine TREWHELLA subsequently had four daughters born during the 1860s - Johanna (1860), Mary Ann (1862), Johanna (1866), and Mary Ann (1869) - followed by a second son named William TREWHELLA (1871-1924). A daughter named Catherine Alice was born during 1874. The apparent confusion may have been due to the fact that grandfather Matthew TREWHELLA and his wife Johanna were very much alive in 1858 and well known in the parish. They lived in Towednack at Georgia in 1851 and at Embla in 1861, two communities less than a mile from Amalveor where their son William and family lived in 1861. So if it was Matthew who spread the word about the birth of his first grandchild, it is understandable that confusion might have slipped into the account that reached the newspaper. With today being the Thanksgiving holiday in the USA, it is an appropriate time to extend thanks to all who have contributed in one way or another to the ongoing conversations on both Cornish Lists during the past year.
