Hi Bev, Is there any chance it's Trurew Borough? [i.e. Truro] DServe catalogue lists a copy of a lease "Item 1: Parties: 1) Richard Penwarne, esquire, of Penwarne 2) John Chattey the younger, of the Borough of Trurew [Truro]. 99 year lease of four ninths of lands lying in the hill on the north side of the highway leading from Trerew [Truro] towards Penrin [Penryn] near an old pair of walls heretofore called the Leapers House, late in the tenure or occupation of Edward Edmonds and Jane his wife, the daughter of Cuthbert Sidnam, deceased, 20 May 1657." See http://tinyurl.com/8d5jhmy There is also a deed/lease "Huthnance tenement, Calenick, Berriper and Parkean Flud ( top of present Lemon Street); house in Kenwyn Street, Truro. 1) release of moiety Beripper, Charles Roskarrock. 1619 2) conveyance of moiety Berripper in Kenwyn, Cuthbert Sidnam gent of Truro to Edward Edmonds, woolen draper. 21 July 1642" See http://tinyurl.com/8w6gjnd Since the will you have for Jane is dated 1656, this might be a good fit. Family search has the births of several children of Edward & Jane EDMONDS christened in Truro in the 1630-1650's, names written in Latin - several Edwards, Francis and Jane. Family search has the christening of Janae SYDNAM, daughter of Cuthberti, in Truro on January 3, 1618. There are also a few leases referencing EDMONDS and also Cuthbert SIDNAM in Truro in the 1600's on the National Archives site. Joanne Toronto, Canada ----- Original Message ----- From: "B.

Joanne, This sounds very much like the couple mentioned in the Will. I have mis-placed my slip of paper at the moment with my few jottings, but I remember picking up on Edward as the husband of Jane. They had a son Richard too I think and a daughter Jane A....? Trurew borough certainly fits with what I can read/make out. I will see now if the name Sidnam is mentioned to. Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate getting the info you have found.

Morning all, It seems that this is the family using the OPC data base Parents Edvardi Edmonds of Truro, St Mary Margeria 1619 Edwardus 1616 Hugonis 1617 Henricus 1613 Parents Edvardi and Janoe[ Jane], Truro St Mary Edwardus 1642 Edward 1650 Margeria 1640 Jenniefera 1646 Frauncis 1647 The Will was dated 1 Oct 1650 Probated 1656. Edward, husband of Jane was already deceased by 1650. When Frauncis was bapt the occupation of Edward as given as Maior, I assume this to mean Mayor. Another name I made out in the Will looked like Jacob ASPENALL, Esq and then a Thomas POWELL who was a trustee/administrator along with other names I could not quite make out. Should anyone have connections to this family I would love to hear from you. Bev in Oz
