I have an ancestor called Elizabeth Pellew, born in Gulval 1807, died 1895. I have no information about her parents/siblings, and wonder if anyone can help, please.
Also, I wonder if there is any connection between Elizabeth and Admirals Edward and Israel Pellew who sailed with Nelson at Trafalgar.
Thanks for any help you can give :0)

Hello, and thank you!
No, the ages don't seem to be right.

Hello Catherine, and thank you for the information.
I have seen this before, but I hadn't realised that the ages would be rounded up, so it looks as though you have found the right one.

hello, and thanks for the information.
I don't think this can be the same Elizabeth, mine married a James Trewella. I have tried the W.Penwith Resources but can't get any further back at present.

Is she buried in Gulval churchyard.Id be happy to have a look for her.My dads buried there.

Hello Isobel
I don't know where she's buried, I should think it is Gulval or Madron. Most of the family seem to have come from round there and don't seem to have moved very far! If you can find out anything I would be very grateful, thank you :0)

Hello Daisy May, and thank you. Lots more leads for me!

There is also according to the IGI the following baptism at Gulval:
22 Sep 1799 James Ruberry PELLEW son of Joseph & Elizabeth
and from the GRO birth index:
1837 Sep PELLEW Thomas Ruberry Penzance 9 134
I am researching the RUBERRY family but have never found out why these boys had Ruberry as their second name. However if Thomas PELLEW married Elizabeth MURRISH, then maybe she is descended from the Mary RUBERRY who married John MORRISH at Gulval in 1769.
If anyone can confirm or deny this connection I would be interested to know.

by the way Eliz (Pellew) Trewhella's death certificate: q2 1895 Penzance 5c 196 aged 88
-
From my research into the Trewhella families I can offer the following which I currently believe to be the correct information for Elizabeth Pellew.
Elizabeth d/o John and Ann Pellew baptised 15th March 1807 at Gulval
John Pellew married Ann Pengilly 19th March 1791 at Gulval.
This is the most likely match I have found and one of the Trewhella children was named John Pellew Trewhella.
Elizabeth Trewhella (nee Pellew) of Chyandour, Gulval, age 88 was buried at Gulval 17th April 1895.

I have Betsy Pellow who married James Crabb (b.1801). Marriage Oct 27, 1821, St. Andrews, Plymouth.
Children James William Pellow Crabb b. 1822, and a Joseph Benjamin Pellow Crabb (b. 1831).
I do not have info before Betsy, but could be related somewhere down the line.
