Looking for information on Lanxon Brothers, saddlers & harness makers in Penzance late 18/early 1900's. Names were William, John and Edwin. William had a son in the biz as well - William Cyril Lanxon. Their father, Thomas, was a saddler in Camelford but died @ 1908 in Penzance. Hi sister, Mary, was my gg grandmother.
Any information greatly appreciated. Thank-you, Anne

Hi Anne
It would appear you have some information already - so to avoid us spending time looking for and typing out information you might already have, perhaps you can be a little more specific on what information you do have (BDM, Census wives, children, locations etc) & what further information you're after (incl BDM, Census wives, children, locations etc)?
Cheers
AMBLY :)

Many thanks, Ambly and Trish. It would be great to locate living relatives as I may get to Cornwall/Devon this spring. However I started trying to find out more about my gg grandma's siblings with the offer to fill in the gaps on those who emigrated to Canada.
She was Mary Lanxon: parents Robert & Charity There were 10 kids - 5 girls and 4 boys some b. St. Mabyn and some Helland. Robert was yeoman on Lower Helland Farm.
Mary, her sisters Ann and Martha emigrated to Canada so I know lots about them. Jane and Charity remained in Cornwall. I was able to track Jane's life to her early death but know little about Charity except that she may have married a Richard Clear Arthur @ 1849 in Bodmin Parish. Can't find them in any census after that.
Until your wonderful explosion of info I was having difficulty tracking the boys: Thomas S., Richard, William and John.
I did get a line on Thomas S. that led me to Camelford and Penzance but lost it through the censii. Of course as you have shown it was the spelling of the name so this is terrific.
I was also curious about the leather works business in Penzance.
Knowing where they are buried is terrific as well as I may be able to visit stones.
Had thought my visit would concentrate in the Egloshayle/ St, Mabyn/ Bodmin area but now Penzance must be on the itinerary for sure.
You refer to FindMyPast. Please advise what that is.
Must take some time to digest this and then I may ask for more specifics.
Cheers, Anne

FindMyPast is Findmypast a pay per view site were I found all the newspaper items.I live in Penzance very near the cemetery and the church on High Street.
-
Thanks, I'll check out FindMyPast for more reading. What is the population of Penzance? Is there just the one cemetary? Are you aware if stones are in good shape?
Cheers, Anne
-
There are a few cemeteries around the area,but the one yours are in is the council one.Well kept and so are the stones.

I knew Cyril Lanxon in the 1940's. My father's father married Margretta Crowle who was sister to Rebecca Crowle from St Breward, North Cornwall. It is only recently that I have got the family connections. I could add more. GeoffleG
