Hi ..... Grayfox

 I have found the parents of Elizabeth, Richard Wellington and Margaret Hill, I have a few Richard Wellington's loose in Luxulyan at this period of time, attached to a branch but not married?, the village of Luxulyan is only 1 1/2 miles from Lanlivery, this would be the rural part of the marriage........

I cannot find the parents marriage on Phillimor records, but they are there on the LDS!

Thanks for your help Jack, I have only just discovered the Willington side, for about 6 weeks I have been researching Mary Ann Hawke ( see the subject earlier in Rootschat) I still have a lot of work on that side Tod, and therefore I will start the Willingtons later.

Thanks anyway

Good Morning Jack
What year do you have son Thomas in Northumberland?
Charles and Alice had three children, Thomas , Melinda and Elizabeth.   Its a little early in the day (640am) and I havent yet had enough coffee to manage to look through my stuff ;-)

Will sort myself out here, ie wake up and pull my file out and send you what info I have.  My info is from census returns and certificates.

Alice Woolcock was the sister of my 5x great grandfather.

Until what years do you have info on this family?

Hi Phil and Jack,

Phil, I have looked at your Thomas in the census in Wales 1881-1901. I see he is not very clear about where he was born, but Calstock is not mentioned. One entry Truro, one Cornwall and one says Ladsley. (No such place that I know of) I wonder if that may be Lanlivery. There is a Thomas born 1847 Lanlivery Mar 1847 St Austell 9 16 - son of Philip (IGI Philip Blowey WILLINGTON 14 May 1814 Lanlivery parents Thomas and Mary)  = Jane Cole (1811 Pelynt) Dec 1/4 1838 Liskeard 9 235. Philip's parents - Thomas WILLINGTON husbandman of Tywardreath = Mary BLOWEY 7 March 1811 St Sampson :-\ Perhaps Jack knows more about this Thomas and whether he is possibly your man. I see Phil's man lists a birth of 1850,1850,1849 in the three censuses. This son of Philip and Jane is 4 in 1851, 14 in 1861 and I am having no luck with a match in 1871 (England or Wales) Now this Calstock Thomas was a Coal Miner in 1871 where your Thomas is an Ag Lab (As was Philip) 1861 Philips son is working as an farm lab (Next door to his parents - father also farm lab) where Charles and Alice's son is in Calstock with his Coal Mining family. There is no doubt the man in Northumberland is the son of Charles and Alice but I have my doubts that this is your Thomas. Seems far more likely the miner Jack has in USA is this particular Thomas from Calstock...................Kris  :D

Have been seeing if I can spot anything further on Thomas in America. Unfortunately I don't see him in 1900.

I do find a possible Immigration

Thomas Wellington aged 27 a miner (English) arrived NY from Bristol 3 Jul 1875 aboard the SS Somerset

Post by: philpoet on Thursday 18 October 07 07:09 BST (UK)
Hi Jack and Kriss
Ok, let me explain my thoughts here.   I feel that the Thomas Wellington in Northumberland is the son of Chalres and Alice.  Half of Cramlington was made up of Cornish and Devonian miners from 1864.  Charles and Alice are in the North at this point.
Yes Kriss I agree that Thomas entry has Truro, Cornwall and Ladsley, he was actually born in the hamlet of Latchley in calstock -  so it is possible that ladsely is latchley??   The Cornish accent that was heard was often written very differently than what was heard.
From the Welsh census returns he has a son called Charles, possibly named after the father?
Thomas's sisters Melinda and Elizabeth both marry and are living in Glamorgan, Melinda to Samuel White and Elizabeth to Griffiths.   Their mother Alice Wellington dies in Cardiff.
I will order the marriage cert today of the Thomas Wellington who married Jane in Wales and see who is mentioned as the father.   
Not saying that any of us are correct and am open to any help at all too find the correct Thomas.
comments on the 'theory' welcomed.
Phil
Title: Re: WELLINGTON/WILLINGTON surname
Post by: krisesjoint on Thursday 18 October 07 07:17 BST (UK)
Hi Phil,

We will wait on Jack to return but yes your theory does sound good with Charles and Alice's family ending up in Wales. I do like your Latchley also - the accent was where I was heading with Lanlivery but I really do like your Latchley :D

The certificate is the way to go for sure, but on reading your latest post your theory sounds really good and Jack may have to look again for the Thomas in USA

Good Luck..............Cheers Kris  :D

Hi Kris (and Jack)
Well have just trawled the BMD registers and can't find a marriage for Thomas Wellington 1873-1876?   But have found the birth of a Charles Wellington in 1875 in Pontypridd.   Jack do you have records of this family on your database ?  If you do can you ellaborate on them , if not I will buy the certificate.

Hi ...Yorkie

    Richard Wellington Matta was born in 1862, St, Austell District, his father was Stephen, mother Elizabeth Harding, (m) 1858 in St, Austell District, I have no Idea where the connection is with the Wellington name?, The father Stephen and a Richard Wellington could have been good friends?, or could have been a witness at their wedding?

I hold over 11,500 descendants of the Wellington branch and I have all the Cornish Wellingtons on the database here, there is no marriage we hold with the Matta family.

Hi Yorkie and Jack,

I have been working on something re Richard Wellington Matta on another thread

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,346345.new.html#new

I am afraid Jack is quite wrong with the marriage he has provided here. Richard Wellington MATTA's name can be explained - his mother was a Wellington or derivative  ;)

Richard Wellington MATTA was the son of Stephen MATTA and Elizabeth WILLINGTON who married Sep 1/4 1845 St Austell 9 11.

The family are in St Anthony in Roseland in 1851 - Stephen, Elizabeth, 2 daughters and Stephens brother Richard

Elizabeth WILLINGTON was born in Gorran about 1823 (consistant in the census) Prior to marriage she is in Gorran in 1841 aged 18 - she is a FS - not living with her family. (WELENGTON) I see the family. (WILLITON) Richard 45, Ag Lab, Mary 41, Peter 14, Fanny 9, Richard 4 and Mary 3 in Gorran along with Elizabeth PILL 80 Pauper HO107/145/2 Folio 30 Page 2

Records seem to be WILLITON

Richard WILLITON = Mary PILL 26 Dec 1820 Gorran

Elizabeth WILLITON was baptised Gorran 7 Apr 1823 Parents Richard and Mary

siblings

John WILLITON 10 Apr 1825
Peter WILLINTON 22 Apr 1827
Mary Ann WILLITON 26 Apr 1829 - 27 Feb 1834 aged 5
Fanny WILLITON 29 Apr 1832
Richard WILLITON 28 Aug 1836
Grace WILLITON 11 Sep 1836

The family are in Gorran in 1851 Richard WILLATON is age 55 b Bodmin, 1861 Richard WILLATON 64 b Bodmin

Richard WILLITON was baptised 1 Jan 1796 Bodmin son of John and Grace

  Hi ....Kris
              Thank you very much for your mail.
         I have checked the 1841 census on Free Census and found this family you have found are down as Williams not Williton, Mary Pill is on that census aged 80. I have not checked the hand written census though!

I will carry on checking other data I have, but I have no information on a Wellington born in Gorran?

Where have you the information on the Marriage of Mary Pill and Richard Williton from

    
Title: Re: WELLINGTON/WILLINGTON surname
Post by: krisesjoint on Sunday 07 December 08 14:06 GMT (UK)
Hi Jack,

My entry was transcribed from the original. The family are certainly WILLITON not Williams, Elizabeth is WELENGTON or possible an undotted WELINGTON.

I can't find a marriage for John and Grace.  :-\  A John and Grace have children in Helland 1784-1793. We have Richard in Bodmin 1796 and finally one in Lanlivery 1799. I don't know if its all one couple or multiple couples (baptisms under WILLITON and WILLINGTON. Also a John and Grace a bit earlier in St Sampson (That marriage 1771 Grace RUNDELL)

There is a John baptised in Fowey 1756 to Richard and Elizabeth (WILLITON) possibly Richard WILLINGTON = Elizabeth KNIGHT of Fowey 21 Feb 1754 Lostwithiel.

As you can see I am moving about the parishes and not really getting anywhere I am afraid..........Kris  :D

My great-grandmother was Emily Caroline Wellington, daughter of William and Elizabeth Wellington, born January 1874 in Flushing or Mylor.  Have you any evidence to show that this is the William Wellington from Horrows, Lanlivery? and have you any details of Emily's marriage (around 1894)?  I'm just starting out so any help and tips are welcome.

There was another marriage of a William Harvey Wellington in the Falmouth area in 1880  but on the 1881 census Elizabeth  born in Constantine is still alive?

No connection to Horrows

Where do your family come from?, I can then find the marriage

Best wishes ..........Jack

Thank you Jack.  I found a baptism certificate for Sarah in 1872 so thought she was older? 

I know that at one point William (a teacher in Flushing) and Elizabeth were living with her parents in Exeter, where James Christie had a school.  I was told that Elizabeth and one daughter both died early of consumption.  Emily married Christopher Plumbe from Bendigo, Australia in around 1893/4 and lived in Malaya and her surviving sister married a George Moir or Muir and lived in Aberdeen, so I don't know who was left in Cornwall in 1891.

Have you any date of death for William Harvey Wellington?

Thanks.

Best wishes

Michael

With reference to my last post William Harvey Wellington became a miner in Perak, Malaya where both his surviving daughters married.  William was still alive in 1896 but dead by 1902.

For your records, William Harvey and Elizabeth Wellington also had another daughter Elsie, born in 1883 in Flushing.  In 1891 Elizabeth and Elsie were boarding in Windsor but Elsie married in Malaya in 1902 to a George Moir and retired to Aberdeen with her four children.

 We have had the best Summer for about 5 years, I'm renovating my house and I have had to put my Wellington family on the back boiler for a while.
The information will be added to the database tonight.

Hello Jack,

You mentioned that William Harvey Wellington married twice - both his wives were called Elizabeth, rather confusingly.  His first wife Elizabeth Christie was born in Milton Abbot, Devon, and died in the summer of 1877 in Falmouth  - his second wife, married in 1880, was born in Constantine and was the mother of Elsie Anita (Nita) Wellington in 1883.

I'm trying to identify William's birth - could he be the William born in 1849 who was in the St. Austell workhouse in 1851?  I can't find him in the 1861 census at all, although he's in Exeter in 1871.

Best wishes

Hi ...Michael

   He was the son of William Wellington and Mary Harvey, William Harvey Wellington was born on April 7th 1849, Church Town St. Buryan, Cornwall.
I have not picked up William on the census's either, I believe he was away on a teaching course outside Cornwall?

Thanks for your information, I will update this today, as I have the wives the wrong way around!

Best wishes ........Jack

Hi .Michael

 I believe I have her burial.

Elizabeth Mary Wellington  aged 31, registered in Falmouth, June Quarter 1877 Ref :- 5c 107

Buried in Mylor Cornwall 30/08/1877

Hello Jack,

Yes thanks, that fits - I was told she was buried in Mylor.

Would William be training as a teacher at 12?  He doesn't seem to be anywhere on the 1861 census, Cornwall or elsewhere, and the only possible person I can see in 1851 is born in St. Austell and in the workhouse.  William and Mary is an unfortunately common combination - I've already found two couples in St. Austell!  Do you have records of his parents' deaths, please?

Best wishes

Michael

Hi ...... Michael

William died in 28, John Road, Penzance, Cornwall,.....
1903, (bur) at at St. Buryan Church Cornwall.  aged 80 (card 81)
Mary (Harvey) Wellington died October 28th  1907 Tolver Road, Penzance, Cornwall.
(bur) November 1st 1907 at St. Buryan Church Cornwall. aged 84, (card 81).

A piece of your family history...........

                             William and Mary spent a part of their life in France after 1855, when after the tin industry failed in Cornwall, one or two of their children were born in France where the French required miners and where many Cornish tin miners sailed to find work.

Best wishes.......... Jack  (Wales, UK)

Hello Jack,

Thanks a lot - if William and Mary were abroad then that expalins why I can't find them on the census, and if William was a miner then that makes his son's metamorphosis from teacher to miner less surprising.

One more question - did they have a daughter Caroline?  My father once mentioned being taken to see a very elderly aunt in Penzance who wanted to inspect him to see if he had the family nose, but I don't know which side of the family that would be.

Thanks for all your help.

Best wishes

Michael

Hi ...... Kris and Phil
 
Remember Thomas Wellington (b) 1850, Calstockwell today I wemt to the Registry office here in Bridgend, The person who married Sarah Jane Rogers was not our Wellington son of Charles, but a man called Warmington, which we thought was a miss spelling!, they checked and showed me the handwritten certificate, indeed his sister Malinda Henrietta was married in Bridgend, I have ordered the certificate, daughter of Charles Wellington, this will be in the post by Monday, I also was shown the certificate too. This is why we thought both brother and sister married in my district of Bridgend, Glamorgan, Wales.
The senior Registrar believes that there was no marriage involved at this point and they just lived together, the next step would be to purchase the birth certificate of their first son Charles born in the  Pontypridd district, this would give the maiden name of the mother Jane!
Best wishes .....Jack

Hi Jack,

I'm in Wales too, my grandmother was Edith Wellington, she married William Baker in Newport. I have lots of links to Truro. My Grandmother however, was born in Somerset. So it looks like the Wellingtons were moving closer to Wales!!

I'd love to know who you descend from and see if we can find a link!

Dear Jack
I have begun investigating the Cornish Wellington's.  I am related to the Abraham Wellington who died in Victoria, and have traced back to Petrus Wellington.  I see your offer to others of information about this family and would appreciate learning of what has been compiled so far. 
Sincerely

Hi Vicky, Jacks family are not (our) Wellingtons.. his family was named Furse, or something, they married one of the heirs of Peter Wellington and began to call themselves Wellingtons.  Anyway, We are pretty much a main branch of the Celtic Royal Family that lived at Exeter Devon before the Romans, actually it was at Roborough Devon, called "Vxella" (namesake), which is in Devon (also at (pre)restormel castle Cornwall) and marked on Ptolamy's, 150 b.c., map of Britian.  This town was also called, (Walchentona), (Rueberga), (Walchentona), (Forinsecus), (Rouburge), (Roborough) from: (Exeter Domesday, Geld inquest, 1083. first list, fol.63.),( "" second list, fol.63.),( "" third list, fols.65-71.),(Hundred Roll 1274-75), (Hundred Roll 1275-76), (Modern name of Town), ...repectively. Back then our surname was "Wallia" or "de Dinan" (Dynham)(the castle), At the Norman Conquest, we (re)-entered into England from, De Gray, or, Croy Normandy,.. as, Wilton Grey's... Also the origins of the name Wilton is a long story, but to cut it short. it comes from our Grandfather the Visigoth King Wallia, (as in. corn(wall)ia, wallonia Belgium(thier other cash register (mine)), wallia (wales) Walia Orkney's, just to give you an idea of thier ancient jurastiction) you see Wallia in Goth is Valia and my own family (Wilton, "Trevilia") lived at Trevilia/Trevillis Cornwall and our coat of arms, which was (three towers, tripled towered) is the same arms as our other family members, namely Dynham, (ap)Howell (Hoel), Havilland, Spicer, Castille, Castro (Spainish Ferdinand) to name a few.. also, in Scotland Stewart, (Black) Douglas, Blair, Duncan, Clendenning (dinan), and from France, Lewis (royal capet's) Theriault, (T)hériot including Rankin, Hopkins who are the Acadians (cajuns) of 1640's Canada, that is, mostley Theriault families. Also in Turin Italy, Richard(s) and Turin, Turvin surnames, hence Turin(gton) Devon.. further, (Black) Torrington..get it? all of which are y-dna Genetic matches to me (R1b1). Also, my closest y-dna match is Pollard (Devon) and Pollard from Welltown "Trembraze" just north of Liskeard (Walter son of David Pollard (caption of seisin 1337), and Mcauley (Cooley) of Ireland -so named after the Cooley pennisula, ancestor of Duke of Wellington. Some of my dna matches, such as Clendenning came, in 1066 from, Cleden-Poher, Brittney (an ancient seat of Dinan's) in England after 1066 our name was Wylinton or Wylynton(e) if you would like to look-up ancient records. Also I descend from Henry de Willington, Earl of Cornwall (through Richard Wilton Sr and Jr. of Lanreath, taxed 1525) and I'd be happy to tell you more as there is a lot of disinformation out there since 1485, if you know what I mean. Other stuff for you to look up, -Trojans (which is who we are) coming to Devon, -Zarah-Judah and the Scarlet thread (which is who we are) at Kells (Tara,Dara,Darda) Ireland (book of Kells, book of (kil)=church), -ever hear of St. "Colum Macdinet" (Dinan) ,ever hear of St.Ninian, Whithorn (near castle Douglas) also St Nonna's Holy Well at Pelynt Cornwall where the Wiltons (later Abbessess) had a 5th century hospital and did heal..We are the true Saints. The (Black Irish) King, (zarah-Judah) who married the daughter of Zedekiah was called Eochaidh...see the Welltown Stone, attached, which is located at the old castle Cardynham Cornwall (=new-dinan, or new-castle).. interestingly, the arms of Newcastle (on tyne) are, three towers tripled towed as well.. Aberdeen, Dublin..  (Kin)cardine..
But most importantly, know who your people are.  I love my family, and honor my mother and father and I'm asking you Please, Worship, Our Father who Art in Heaven, on Sat (starting friday evening at dark) the REAL Sabbath-Day, Please do this, and know who your people Are!   ps. Lanteglos (inscribed stone, attached here with Welltown Stone) was the seat of "Walesborough" the heiress Mrs.Henry de Willington. Also note that after the 1485 victory of the tudurs (you know the one's with the big red dragon on their battle banner) masonic organizations began to use the (our Trevilia) arms, of three towers tripled towered. I hope that I have been clear, I'm Willington to answer any questions.
