Dear List, I wonder if someone would help with a problem I have had for years: I had found William ROWE(18 Aug 1776 of Redruth,) who is the child of William ROWE(b.24 May, 1752)and Susannah ROWE born in Redruth Parish on 18 Aug 1776 . His parents,  William and Susannah ROWE married on 16 Dec 1775 in Redruth. I have documentation for all of the above. Now - I cannot find where William Sr. was from. I also found who I think is their children and found a Francis ROWE (1777-1780); Richard ROWE (1779); Francis ROWE (1784); and Elizabeth ROWE (3 Feb 1799). All were born in Redruth Parish. I have been suspecting for a long time that Susannah was a MICHELL  and her parents was either Henry  MICHELL and Ursula(Usilly) PASCOE or Susannah is the female born 09 Nov 1754 in Redruth, to Francis MICHELL and Mary (?); all from Redruth. I also suspect that William ROWE is the son of Phillip ROWE(1711 and ELizabeth PEARCE of Camborne.  It seems that that William fits in. but I am not sure at this point. Why wouldn't William not name one of his children after his father or grandfather? I have searched for all William ROWES from around that area and found most had married other women or the dates or places were not candidates for my William because of the parishes in which they lived. Does anyone have any information to help me figure out this problem? Any help would be appreciated. Judy

Hi Judy I have William ROWE, son of Philip, baptised 24 May 1752 in Camborne, but married to Ann HOCKING (18 Jul 1778 Camborne). One of their sons was a Philip. Of course this marriage may conceivably not be right. I note that in your email you actually give the birth date 24 May 1752 for William senior. This is the same as the baptism date above - I'm wondering where you got that, if you don't know where William senior came from. best wishes Tony Bennett Cheshire, UK

Hi again Judy A further thought. There is a William ROWE, son of Richard and Mary, baptised on 2 Dec 1749 at Redruth. Have you eliminated him from your enquiries? NB the name Richard, one of William and Susanna's children. best wishes Tony Tony Bennett Cheshire, UK

May I suggest that if anyone cannot find a marriage in Cornwall that they get the Exeter Marriage License's on film from LDS. There can be up to 2-3 Cornish people slipping over to Exeter on each page for a License as there are Devon and elsewhere folk. Each Film covers certain time periods, with indexes, some indexes are at the front of the film, some at the back, and others in the middle. Most have a place name where they are from if not from Devon. A lot married in Exeter on the same day. Even though the bride is from somewhere and the groom elsewhere, it does not always eventuate that they married in their own parish. Sometimes they married in a parish half way.

Hi Judy, Can you provide us with the names of the children of William and Susannah Rowe. Naming patterns can be very helpful.
