I use Parloc (Parish Locator) which is a handy downloadable program which allows you to locate English & possibly Irish parishes + calculate distance & directions from one parish to another.

I'd be interested to hear from those who has bought one of these, as to what to expect? Although not a great deal of money, it's not cheap either & would like to know if it does or does not stand up to what it says on the packet, as it seems slightly expensive for what it is, but then again, I'm a bargain hunter.

Thanks Trish, I have now found death record of Lydia Richards aged 7months. 

& thanks Ian.

I have come across that website & their are some of my family there, but not as far back as I have got as they are only linked by marriage & not in the main names, but thank you.  Adrian Eddy's site is another good one for this part of Cornwall.

Gougy, I've found some promising info on IGI & Cornwall census  concerning Joseph Matthews but need to obtain evidence that he is William's father, as their are 2 Joseph Matthews, both farmers of around the same age, I now think Sarah Richards who was about  16 years older than Joseph was probably married to a Yeamon before, as their is a Sarah Yeamon living in their household in 1841 census.

Thank you Trish,

Your help is very much appreciated. I took a relook on West Penwith resourses & strangely their records for Paul baptisms start on the very same date as John's christening on IGI, yet no mention. When visiting RO, I have at one time found date wrong by one year concerning an extracted record maybe something similar here, or was just missed by WPR.

I have come across the William Richards & Mary Gendall marriage on IGI & I think my own predjudices, that this side of my family were extremly religious stopped me from adding this as they married after birth of first child, thinking about this, how silly & as pre victorian not unusual, but also why it has helped to have someone with a fresh mind add, thank you.  Lydia William Richards is also new, & again probably died as I have not found on census, thank you again.

Kind regards Alice

What appears to be the children of William and peggy are also extracted records on the IGI

viz  Margaret Christening:  11 AUG 1833   Paul, Cornwall, England
John Thomas Christening:  26 MAY 1844   Paul, Cornwall, England
William James Christening:  28 MAR 1841   Paul, Cornwall, England
Hannah Christening:  04 APR 1830   Paul, Cornwall, England
Joseph Christening:  11 OCT 1835   Paul, Cornwall, England

(parents William and Peggy - or Margaret)
Batch C023411

If John is not on your census records he may have died before 1851. You can check deaths by trawling through the film available from the LDS.

Thank you, Gougy the Margeret Davy is definately promising as their seems to have been just a few Davy families in St Buryan at this time. Unfortanatly Sampson & John Sampson's from Paul, are very prolific but still something to keep in mind as is William Matthews.

Hello Ian,

I have your e-mail now & will send mine onto you later & as Spring is some time away will e-mail you then, to see where you are in your search.

Incredable to have a grandmother who is a 104, I too was brought up with many Cornish family tales from my grandmother who lived to the megre age of 97 ;)

My interest is in both Geneology & local & social history & as so I am also interested in local families, looking at the name Borlase, their certainly were some important Cornish men with this name one who wrote a book, another was a Sir & a vicar in Madron with this name too.

I have also started a thread about my brick walls from this part of Cornwall & if you come across any possible info about my families in your search, could you please also let me know too.

Kent Completed Lookup Requests / Re: 1851 census Lookup, please - Faversham
« on: Wednesday 14 September 05 21:33 BST (UK)  »
All your messages have been of great help, & has proved to me that it is worth coming back to a thread that previously was not answered  :D.

Zachtyr, Carol & Casalguidi Putting together the information you all provided has I believe answered my question's about Agnes, thank you all very much. I had found marriage of Agnes & reference on 1881 census but as age was a little out etc put it down in my notes as a possible. Thank you for the Agnes Rook info too, which as you say makes sense.

Zachtyr as you say interesting how these small communities often have two or more of the same name & similar age it certainly makes you realise how thorough you need to be.

Nancy, it certainly seems that we have the same Agnes Coveney, I will PM you my e-mail.

Thank you all again, your help is greatly appreciated :)
