Hello,   I wonder if someone has any information relating to the following family.   A Cornelius RANDOLPH, born c1834 in Wiltshire, England, may have migrated to Massachusetts in 1859 with his wife Mary.  They had 7 children, all born in Wayland, Eliza 1862, Albert, 1864, Florence 1866, Mabel 1869, William 1872, Walter 1874 and Harry 1880.   My main interest lies in the names of his parents, who may have been Henry and Amelia according to the 1841 England Census and lived in the Civil Parish of Steeple Ashton, Wiltshire.   If I can establish that these are correct it may help in my PhD research on the treatment of juvenile offenders in Parkhurst Prison on the Isle of Wight 1838-1864.     Happy New Year and regards   Tony Cocks

On familysearch.org it has a birth record for a Cornelius Randolph born 11 August 1833, Steeple-Ashton, Wiltshire, England , parents Henry Randolph and Amelia [maiden name not given]. The actual image is not available. As you mention a Cornelius Randolph aged 7 is listed 1841 census Steeple-Ashton, Wiltshire, England  with parents Henry and Amelia, plus siblings. I don't find them after that.   If the DOB in the above birth record can be relied upon then it seems likely your Cornelius Randolph is this child as the 1900 US census for Wayland, Middlesex, Massachusetts shows Cornelius' DOB as August 1833....... This 1900 census shows Mary's DOB as Feb 1843. Various birth records for the children show Mary's maiden name to be Scully/Scolly/Scally etc.   According to Index to New England Naturalization Petitions, 1791-1906  Cornelius Randolph was born England August 1842, Naturalized 1 Nov 1875, Residence: Wayland MA.   I can't find his death record which I hoped would provide his parents.   Janice          --- On Thu, 29/12/11, Tony Cocks <[email protected]> wrote: From: Tony Cocks <[email protected]> Subject: [GENMASSACHUSETTS] Cornelius RANDOLPH, Born c1834, Wiltshire, England To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, 29, December, 2011, 5:41 AM Hello,   I wonder if someone has any information relating to the following family.   A Cornelius RANDOLPH, born c1834 in Wiltshire, England, may have migrated to Massachusetts in 1859 with his wife Mary.  They had 7 children, all born in Wayland, Eliza 1862, Albert, 1864, Florence 1866, Mabel 1869, William 1872, Walter 1874 and Harry 1880.   My main interest lies in the names of his parents, who may have been Henry and Amelia according to the 1841 England Census and lived in the Civil Parish of Steeple Ashton, Wiltshire.   If I can establish that these are correct it may help in my PhD research on the treatment of juvenile offenders in Parkhurst Prison on the Isle of Wight 1838-1864.     Happy New Year and regards   Tony Cocks ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
