Hi
Looking for any family connection to the above names. Mostly from the Helston area of Cornwall. I know the families as such, spread out into Breage and Wendron and the surrounding area. My main interest is Edward Goninnan and Sophia Moyle who finished up living in Rotherham, Yorkshire. Edward's occupation was a currier so suspect this was the reason for the family moving up North.
The other names I am also interested in furthering as they are part of the Goninnan and Moyle line. If any of the names ring a bell with you, I would love to hear from you.
Kind regards :)

Hi Lil_Fox,
Be sure to check our Surname Interests Table for Connections and while you are there make sure to add your own. You can access the Surname Interest Table from the bottom of any RootsChat page

Good luck.

Lil Fox--
One of my relatives married into a Moyle family in Cornwall. I don't have Sophia in my family tree, but a quick check at Ancestry.com on the One World Tree shows Sophia Moyle md 23 Jan 1843 in Helston to Edward Goninan, born 16 Nov 1817 in Helston. The family shows five children.
I found what appears to be Edward and Sophia in the 1851 Cornwall Census and the 1861 Woverhampton, Staffordshire Census. I can look further if this would help you.

Hi Matilda
The Goninnan line I have is already established and I have it coming forward from Edward and Sophia as well as backwards. So thank you for your offer of help with the census. I am interested in furthering the names that come into the Goninnan line which are listed above and Moyle as you know is one of them. I would love to know which line your Moyle connection comes in.
The parents I have for Sophia are Stephen Moyle abt. 1792 and Eleanor Jewell abt.1791 Wendron, Cornwall. Sophia had three siblings, Edward, Julia and Eliza. Also the parents of Stephen Moyle are Edward Moyle and Elizabeth Dowar. I don't know if any of these names ring a bell with your Moyle connection.
Thanks again for the offer of help, much appreciated.

I spent some time on the Moyles in Wendron a few months ago to see if there was a connection, but as far as I can tell, there isn't one. My relative, Julia Hornblower, married John Moyle of Chacewater in 1784. The children settled in Chacewater or Helston.
Sorry I couldn't be of help to you.

Hi Matilda
I will have a check through the names you have given me here. My Goninnan line came from Helston and Breage.

I too have an interest in the Moyle name. A member of my family, Eliza Moyle (b. c1865) daughter of Thomas Moyle married a John Dunstan in 1885, also of Wendron. Some time before WW1 they moved to South Wales, to the village of Deri. She died there in 1912 and is buried in Pentwyn cemetery. I'd be curious to know if she might be linked to any members of your family?
Mike.

Hi Matilda,
Please contact me as I am a member of the Moyle Family. Julia Hornblower and John Moyle are on my family tree. I am Cornish, I live in Cornwall and I have reams of information.
Best wishes

Hi Bassworm,
I may have your Thomas Moyle on my family tree, he died in 1884 and could possibly be the father of Eliza (born 1865), because the name Eliza appeares in his ancestry. I am Cornish and I live in Cornwall, I have reams of information.
Best wishes,
Zelonie.

Hello jobob, just going over messages that I have missed. Looking at the names you have sent me I don't recognise them from the Moyles in my tree. Sorry. There were evidently many Moyle families in Helston as well as many other areas of Cornwall. Bye. Z.

Sophia's brother Edward Moyle is my x5 grandfather. My limited family tree details list their father Stephen Moyle born 25 March 1796 in Helston, married to Eleanor Jewell born 1791, and her father was Richard Jewell.
Of Edward Moyle, he married Mary Williams (?surname?) and took the Essex to NZ arriving 1843, their daughter was Esther, born in NZ. Esther married into the Ireland line of family Earley.
I'd love to know more of the Jewell, Dowar and Moyle lines before 1790s... their parents..occupations... residence... thankyou.
