I have a Mary Julian in my family tree who was born in Cornwall in 1765, married in 1786 in St Clements Truro to John Menhennet. Her parents were John Julian and Mary Bohenna.
Has anyone done any work on the Julian / Julien family in Cornwall. I am particularly interested to know if the family were of Huguenot or French origin.
I have recently found a couple called Julyan on the IGI, John Julyan was born in 1735 in East Newlyn, his father was Tulk Julyan and his mother's name was Honeur. They sound to me as though they could be French?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Hi Billie,
I am not a Julyan researcher but just to let you re know this Newlyn East Couple...I have Newlyn East Microfiche and I don't agree with IGI transcript of Tulk and Honeur. This couple have other children in East Newlyn where he is clearly listed as either Frederick or Fidrick. Mother is always Honour. The Entry for John definitely says John son of Fidk and Honour Julyan baptised March 15 1735. No marriage in Newlyn East but there is a marriage 6 May 1732 St Austell Fred. JULYAN = Honnor DAVY which possibly fits this couple....Kris :)

Only Julian I have is Jenifer Julian, born 3 April 1803 in Constantine, Cornwall; parents John & Elizabeth. Jenifer married Edward Penrose from St Agnes near Truro on 10 Nov 1824. Not sure if this is of any use to you. :D

Thanks for your message Brissygal, I will add your Julians to my ever-growing list. There were a lot of them about, weren't there? Do you have any rumours in your family that the Julians may have been of Huguenot origin? I'm not making much headway in my search although the name does appear on Huguenot lists.
Thanks again, any information is appreciated

No, but will let you know if I hear anything. I've just discovered my Jenifer Julian is probably up the wrong tree. :'( May have to throw out 10 years of work. Never mind.
Good luck.

Hi
I think Mary Bohenna is my direct descendent through the Julian family. I had no idea there were connections to the French Huguenots but a lot of the Julian family are buried at St Breock Church near Wadebridge in Cornwall. I would be really interested to hear if anyone else has any further information on the Huguenot connection.

Does anyone know of an Elizabeth Julian from St Mary Magdalene's parish, Launceston, who married my ancestor William Stanbury there on 25 March 1808? (He was living at Lawhitton, just below Launceston, at that time.) Their first son was a John baptised there the next year 1809, suggesting either William or Elizabeth's father could have been named John? In Devon, William was convicted twice, in 1827 and 1828 and transported to Tasmania in July 1829.
Elizabeth's fate in Cornwall is unknown to me. She did not accompany William or emigrate to Tasmania later. I have an Elizabeth Stanbury buried at St Stephens by Launceston on 13 September 1815, which could be for William's wife. It seems William may have deserted his wife and family by the 1820s. He may have remarried in 1816 at North Hill in Cornwall, to a Caroline Cornelius. The marriage entry there says William was of St Mary Magdalene's parish, Launceston. The fate of Elizabeth Stanbury has bothered me for 45 years!
I have read other Julian posts below which suggest a French origin of the surname. If anyone has researched its origin, I would be very interested to hear about that. Neil Thomas, Belair, South Australia

The Elizabeth who was buried 19 Sept 1815 was 94 so not your Elizabeth.
Possible daughter Elizabeth for your couple buried 28 April 1814 infant of West Gate Street

Thank you 'Osprey' for this. The transcription done by Cornwall FHS on FindMyPast site recorded her age as 34, so obviously someone made a mistake! I'll press on....

Hi 'Osprey'
Just adding this:
I found the name you gave me, an Eliza Stanbury, infant who was buried 28 April 1814. She was baptised in St Mary Magdalene's parish, Launceston on 20 April 1814. Her parents were Henry and Mary Stanbury. No connection that I know about to my Stanburys.
My convict ancestor William Stanbury's native place was recorded as 'Plimpton May Devonshire' on his Tasmanian convict record in 1829. He was at Lawhitton in Cornwall in 1808 when he was married, and had 4 children according to the convict record. I have accounted for 2 sons baptised in 1809 (John) and Thomas (1815) in St Mary Magdalene's parish. In 1815 the family was in West Gate Street, Launceston. same street as Henry Stanbury and family in 1814.

try the transcribed records on the OPC database instead
https://www.cornwall-opc-database.org/search-database/person-search/
The address for Henry & Mary on the baptism 20 April is South Gate Street. The burial record 28 April shows North Gate Street.

Thank you for the tip about Cornwall OPS records online - very helpful. I have looked to see which Elizabeth Julian might be the wife of my William Stanbury, marrying in Launceston on 25/2/1808. She doesn't appear to be a local woman, and the only one that might be possible is the person baptised at Mawgan in Meneage in the south of Cornwall, on 7 /11/1790. Her father was John and mother Elizabeth - the name John could be why my Elizabeth named her first son John in 1809. Why would she have travelled that far north to be in Launceston in 1808? Two of this Elizabeth's sisters were Ann (1787) and Mary (1794). Elizabeth had another daughter with Stanbury who I think was named Mary Ann ca.1811. William Stanbury's daughter Elizabeth (Mrs Richard Sandercock) named her first daughter Mary Ann in Launceston in 1836 in Launceston.
