Hi Phyllis, There's a very good range of Poor Law records available for Kea. They've been filmed by the LDS and they cover the period when your JOLLYs were resident in the parish. I think the last item (Settlement papers, 1727-1821 Film 1596593 Item 3) might be especially interesting. If you haven't got easy access to an LDS FH library, you could have your researcher look at them - or have the staff at the Cornwall Record Office <cro@ceo.cornwall.gov.uk> do a search. The CRO reference number (for the Settlement papers) is P97/13/2.
