Does anyone have the information on who is buried at St. Columb Cemetery?
-
Hello cornishgal,
A Big Welcome to RootsChat ;D
You have certainly come to the right place if you are looking for records from the St Columb Area ;D I hold the Parish Records on microfiche for many parishes in The St Columb District. ;D
I do have burial records for both St Columb Major and St Columb Minor. If you can give me some details I will be happy to take a look for you.
Cheers Kris :D

I am looking for ROBERTS
Ethel , and William
Children of Sampson and Elizabeth Roberts.
I am not sure if any other members of my great grandfather are buried there.
Any help you can give me would be great.
Thanks
I live in Canada.

Hi Cornishgal,
Can you please tell me what you have. I will require some idea of just when and where to look. This is a matter of looking through the microfiche. If you can give me an idea of when they may have died and are we talking about St Col Major or St Col Minor I will do my best to find it. Do we have any census records to help with a timeframe, or are we talking pre or post census? We have hundreds of years of registers............Kris :D

OK cornishgal,
I worked it out from your other thread for Photos ;)
Ethel ROBERTS of Trencreek was buried 15 Jun 1892 aged 2 years and 10 months
William Sampson ROBERTS of Trencreek was buried 20 Mar 1894 aged 10 years
Cheers Kris :D

Baptisms St Columb Minor. The Rev Eade was new in town and clearly set about bringing all the unbaptised to the fold. Alas no sign of any others prior to the families move to Perranzabuloe
ROBERTS Annie Louisa 17 Nov 1887 Parents Sampson and Elizabeth Jane, Father Engineer of Trencreek
ROBERTS William Sampson 17 Nov 1887 Parents Sampson and Elizth Jane, Father Engineer of Trencreek
ROBERTS Herbert 17 Nov 1887 Parents Sampson and Elizth Jane, Father Engineer of Trencreek
ROBERTS Elizabeth Mary 17 Nov 1887 Parents Sampson and Mary Jane, Father Engineer of Trencreek
That is how the mothers name appears in the entries I am afraid :-\
PS Aha Am going to take a look at Newlyn - On rechecking 1891 census I note wife is 28 dau Elizabeth M is 18 so it appears there will be an earlier marriage to explain this ;D
Cheers Kris :D

Righteo,
Looks like Sampson ROBERTS = Mary Jane DOCKING Mar 1/4 1871 Truro 5c 267
Sampson ROBERTS = Elizabeth Jane PARNELL Jun 1/4 1880 5c 221
Probably not telling you anything you don't know there but I wanted to clarify it for myself.
Banns were not read for either marriage in Newlyn East
Mary Jane ROBERTS Died aged 23 Jun 1/4 1874 St Col 5c 73
Mary Jane ROBERTS aged 23 of Down Lane, was buried 28 Jun 1874 Newlyn East
ROBERTS Clara Jane was baptised 6 Aug 1871 Newlyn East, Parents Sampson and Mary Jane, father Miner of St Newlyn
Miner to Engineer.....WOW
Cheers Kris :D

You are 100% right.
Gee, this is great.
With 13 children from Sampson and Mary Jane, Elizabeth then my grandfather James Henry who married Matilda GOARD, they had 15 children......!! It is hard to keep track of them but mostly to get the right information.THANK-YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!!!
I am still looking for more information on them. It seems a bit selfish asking for more when you have done so much for me.
So, to make it simple I will say.
If anyone has a ROBERTS connection please contact me.
I would dearly love to have any Roberts birth, death (with location) and marriages.
-
I would like to add that my cousin Rose has been very helphful as my cousin Margaret. They have be a wonderful source of information and photos.
I do believe that if we could get some firm dates of death and where the families are buried ( Cornwall born and raised) they would be happy.
Again, I would like to plead to anyone who might be a member of your extended family to see if you might have a photo of
Sampson Roberts , Elizabeth Parnell, Mary Jane Dorkin, James Henry Roberts ( born 1881 died 1955) and lastly one of Alfred Roberts who was born in born 28.07.1907 died 1..02.1991 ..please contact me.
The names of James and Tillie Goard children were:
James Henry, William Herbert, Florence, Alfred, Louisa " Louie", Sampson John * Jack*, Ernest, Reginald, Walter, Sylvia, Ethel ( born 1919 died 1926) Edgar and Irene.
Thanks again for all your help

Born 1919 Esmeralda Nevada USA died Newquay Q1 1961. Have looked in the graveyard behind the church with no luck. Trouble is I'm only here this week! If anyone can help I'd be most grateful.
