Title: CHENOWETH Children
Post by: orphanannie on Friday 15 August 08 23:19 BST (UK)
Hi, All.
Could someone please help me to sort this out? ???

In 1841 I have found John Chenoweth 70
Susan Chenoweth 20
Elinor Chenoweth 8
John Chenoweth 2
Henry Chenoweth 1
Sarah Prout 5

They are in Tregoodswell, Lanteglos.
The John and Susan fit my family -  Susan Chenoweth, c 1820 married John Prout in 1843, and her father was John Chenoweth, c 1773.  However, I have tried to trace Elinor Chenoweth, John Chenoweth,  Henry Chenoweth  and Sarah Prout from that census with no success.

Does anyone have any ideas where they fit in?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Annie.

Hi Annie,

I have been taking a good look about. 1851 - removed - I found same census as heywood. There is an Emma aged 10 in 1841. HO107/152/3 folio 19 page 30. Lower Bore St Bodmin who may be a possible but no clue in the census if this is her.

Emma CHENOWETH = James WILLIAMS Camelford Dec 1849 9 73

Looks to me like we possibly have 4 siblings here. I would have to wonder if they are John's grandchildren but alas can see no sign of baptisms for any of them. What I do see is the probable births for the two youngest

John CHENOWETH Dec 1838 Camelford 9 53

Henry Theodore CHENOWETH Mar 1840 Camelford 9 59

I did hope to spot a likely parent or twos death/s but alas nothing showing in Camelford after Henry's birth. Elizabeth 1838 looks like John's wife. It may pay to purchase one of these certs to see if you get a clue as to the connection.

I see by this tree nothing further is known of some of the older daughters  :-\

As well as a submitted entry on IGI and I see a suggestion here that Elizabeth had a daughter Honor Eleanor in 1833 (emigrated to South Australia) and Emma about 1834. If she was born about 1785 as suggested these two would be really pushing it the boys quite impossible.

These two girls emigrated aboard The South Sea's in 1855

Seems other family members also emigrated to SA

Cheers Kris  :D

Thanks ever so much, Kris and Heywood.   :)

That has been a huge help.  I will now look again at my info and, hopefully, tie it in with what you have given me.

Regards,
Annie.
