Hello Christine - Might this be your Kate? 1834 5-Jan KING Anna Maria Nicholas father Ann mother Tregorrick abode farmer occupation She was the only daughter of a KING baptised in St Austell, at Holy Trinity CofE church that year. Given the discussion re given names, and how they changed, I thought she might fill the bill, so to speak. I had a Carolyn who changed into Patience!!! (have never figured that out) Hope everyone remembers that Joan was often spelled JONE in early records. We've lots of those in our line.
