Hi Maureen: I am John W. Clifton. My Johns family married into the Clifton family twice. Bessie Johns married my Gt. Uncle Joseph Clifton in Camborne and they moved to Johnstown Pa. about 1885. Bessies Brother Simon Johns married my Aunt Mary Lovelia Clifton in Phila. and they moved to Johnstown Pa. in the 1890s. Also William Johns of Camborne I believe to be another of Bessie Johns married Dora Clifton in Johnstown Pa. ( Wild don't you think ) who was the daughter of Bessie. Your William may have been a brother or a cousin of Bessie.

Hello list i have tried to find a marriage of susan ann OATS and Joseph ANNEAR who may have married in REDRUTH about 1857/59. hoping someone maybe able to help Pam from AUSTRALIA

I am interested in the family of William BOLT, hopefully still in Redruth, Cornwall. >From the 1841 census, I get the following information. "BOLT, William and family, census, 1841, Redruth, Cornwall, Redruth 13, 75, 103, 1841. "Redruth, CON BOLT, William, 40, M, Pedlar, not born CON BOLT, Elizabeth, 40, F, -, not born CON BOLT, Uriah, 12, M, -, not born CON BOLT, Matthew, 10, M, -, not born CON BOLT, Caroline, 7, F, -, not born CON BOLT, Samuel, 5, M, -, CON BOLT, Angelina, 3, F, -, CON. >From the small amount of 1851 index that I have seen, I was unable to locate the family. My primary interest is to see if I can find the place of birth of Samuel BOLT, and hopefully the same details for his parents. He had left the UK before 1861 so cannot look at the census. From what I can see, this family wanders (everywhere!) as they peddle their wares. Suggestions on steps to take welcome. Thanks. Regards, Andrew For my interest in the family http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/~billinghurst

Hi Andrew, An unusual name BOLT and so I looked on my memorial database and found only two headstones. They do not answer your question, one is comparatively recent and is in Treleigh Churchyard (1977) and the other, inside Bodmin parish church, is rather old but has wording worth quoting : Here lieth the body of Mr. PETER BOLT, merchant, sometyme steward of ye Citye of Exceter, who departed this life in the feare of God, the 26th July, Ano. Domi. 1633; and also ye body of ELIZABETH his daughter, buried ye 14th of April, 1628. Which PETER BOLT had 2 wives and 13 children, 5 sonnes and 8 daughters. Seaventy six dozen moones and odd a Stewerdship I held of God, of wch when the account did call pale death me nothinge did appale because the judge (severe of late) is now become myne advocate; who having fully payd and prayd, both for my sinnes and savinge ayde, (sterne Justice and mild mercy meeting, and trueth and peace each other greeting.) guided my soul by heavenly love to rayne for aye with God above. J.W. writing in Western Antiquary, Vol 1, p.105, comments "This worthy man was one of the corporate body of Merchant adventurers, the arms of which are on the stone - Barry nebulée of six, argent and azure, a chef quarterly, gules and or, on the first and fourth quarters a lion passant gold, and on the second and third, two roses of the third, barbed, vert. it may be interesting to note that these arms are found on the brass commemorating John and Joan Greenway in Tiverton church, Devon 1529 ....." Regards, Mike, Redruth.

from the Celtic Customs book... CELTIC. Hiring Fairs for Agricultural and other labourers to do summer work were held today and lasted about a week. The labourers would display a symbol or implement of their trade, and hoped to get a retainer when terms had been agreed. CORNWALL. There was a hurling match today as part of the marking of the annual renewal of the town bounds. The teams were players from two streets against the rest. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com Professional Genealogy Research All outgoing mail virus free, scanned by Norton 2002

from the Celtic Customs book.... May Junket Milk Rennet Cream Sugar Cinnamon Warm the milk and put in a bowl.

from the Celtic Custom book... CORNWALL. Having breakfast or supper outdoors on May Day was called going a-junketing, as May Junket was eaten as a sweet. At Hayle, children put on paper clothes, adorned themselves with flowers and sang through the streets. In the evening bonfires were lit, torches carried, and balls of petrol soaked rags lit and kicked around. Another name for May Day was Dipping Day and being sprinkled with water today was lucky. In Polperro and Pelynt, anyone not carrying or wearing a May bough or sprig or flower was liable to be sprayed with water. Looe boys used to carry their water in bullock horns, collecting money to spend at Looe Fair on 6th May. Maypole Raid, Lanreath, near Flowey This is an ancient surviving custom of staling neighbouring villages' luck. People from nearby villages try all sorts of tricks to steal the annually erected stripped young trunk and prevent the locals from pursuing them. After the festivities the trunk used for the maypole is always chopped up and made into skittles. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com Professional Genealogy Research All outgoing mail virus free, scanned by Norton 2002

from the Chronicles of Celtic Customs by Brian Day CELTIC. As with so many customs the association of May Day with floral decorations may have a multiple origins rather than being from just one easily identifiable source. Hawthorn was sacred to Persephone, goddess of spring, and its flowering in ancient times signaled the time to start the Celtic festival of Beltane. The use of greenery in May celebrations echoes pre-Christian tree and nature worship and the commemoration of the resurrection of Attis, lover to Kybele, goddess of flowers and fruitfulness. The crowing of the May Queen (and May King or Green Man) may possibly be a long surviving relic of the myth of Kybele and Attis. Another possible origin of the May Queen is the image of Flora the Roman goddess of spring. However, the election of a May Queen (and King), the parading and erection of a maypole and the dancing and sports that followed may owe more to English influence than to indigenous Celtic commemoration. The Celts saw this day as the climax of the ritual, annual combat between summer and winter, with the latter giving way. This may explain the habit of stealing maypoles and other paraphernalia from one's neighbours, as to steal their maypole was to steal their luck. This practice is known from the Isle of Man, Wales and Cornwall. Prior to the Restoration the advent of the merry month of May was a time of great celebration to welcome the summer, but as ever the puritans soon toned things down. Girls rose early to bathe their faces in the May morning dew, which was held to have curative and beauty properties, and to grant wishes, and considered it lucky to draw the first water from the well this morning. People tended to be suspicious of happenings on May Day, lest they be portents of what the summer had in store for them, and guarded animals, produce and wells. This was the start of summer farming jobs. Cattle were turned out to pasture, and from now on would be milked outside. Sheep were moved to higher ground and the tilling of the soil started. Labourers would be hired and land rented or tenants' rents collected. May Day was a Celtic quarter day. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com Professional Genealogy Research All outgoing mail virus free, scanned by Norton 2002
