The following announcement appeared in the West Briton newspaper, Truro, Cornwall, UK on 3 July 1857 and is forwarded from the CORNISH-GEN List. I have no further information, nor any interest in the family. I purely forward it to the List in the hope that it's of use to someone. Best wishes, Tom Thompson, St Agnes, Cornwall.
