Hello Jayne And Joles,

Thomas Bosanco married twice first to Elizabeth Doble 30 January 1721, and they had John Bosanco born in Holsworthy devon, and then second to Honnour Tardrew on 26 Dec 1727 also in holsworthy Devon, four sons were born from this marriage, Thomas 1731, Richard 1734, William 1736, and Charles 1739.  There could have been earlier children between 1727/1731 and probably were.  Also there could have been more from the first marriage, unfortunately I cannot help with a birthdate for thomas, though I have seen potential fathers of the same name born around 1680 in the vicinity.  Richard born in 1734 married Elizabeth Nee Dunn and they had at least 4 children Elizabeth 1763, Richard 1766, John 1768 the direct male line to me, and Chales 1770 who died on or about the 8th of July in 1821, and his name was Bosanquet on his will, a copy of which is in my posession through the good work of David Bosanquet my cousin.  We have no idea why John Richard moved for a while to live inJersey,Edward james born 1883 and a brother to John Williams my great grandfather who married in 1893 when Edward would have only been ten years old, so I doubt the rift was caused through love of the same women.    My father prior to his death had travelled to the Languedoc region and met with locals in search of family history links.    David bosanquet 1661 is not from our particular lineage, and the name change is still a mystery.

Hi Jayne it's the Steve you already know, as for the Richard that travelled to Australia it could be Joseph's brother or a son of his, because there were a number at one time in the cigar trade, as for the percentage Cornish or Devon I have no idea, in fact the name bosankoe was registered on documents until 1891 on the census,and on birth certificates etc.  My guess is that the family changed the name in fact in 1818 Charles bosanquet is named in his will as Bosanquet at that time but this took a while for the London branch to catch up.  In 1869 John Joseph still a cigar maker had a son John Williams and Bosankoe was the name they still used at that time, and again in the 1881 census they still used Bosankoe, but then in the 1891 census they were all Bosanquet.  John Williams married in 1893 and was then Bosanquet and a Tailor at this time John Joseph his father was listed on the marriage certificate as Tailor., John Williams was my great grandfather.  I also have the birth certificate for John Joseph the second child after Mary and before Elizabeth Jessey was born on 28th of August 1847 John Richard's occupation is Cigar maker, in Stepney London.    I also have a copy of the marriage certificate for John Richard and his profession is Cigar maker, his father Joseph Bosankoe has the prefession of Publican documented, and Philip Robbins the father of the bride is a Hatter.  Elizabeth Ann Robbins was the wife.  They married in Stepney, and it was the 25th of December Christmas day.

Hi Jayne, it's Steve, actually Elizabeth Jessey was the second daughter of John Richard named I believe after his father Joseph's second wife, the first daughter was Mary named after Joseph's first wife who died in 1830, probably after childbirth.  Joseph then married Mary's sister Elizabeth at the end of the same year 1830.  Joseph was the second son, and the third child of John Bosankoe the tailor they had at least 5 children three daughters and two sons, Anne Elizabeth, Maria Jemima, Mary Anne, and Richard John, Joseph's brother.  Joseph's father was John Bosankoe and he hailed from Camelford in Cornwall, he married Margaret Bushby, he also had two brothers, and one sister, his father was Richard and in turn his father was Thomas Bosanco, this guy was married twice, the second marriage and offspring relate to Elizabeth Jessey, and the second wife was Honnour Tardrew.
He had a son from the first wife Elizabeth Doble, and he was named John, and then a further four sons with Honnour, Thomas, Richard, William, Charles.  Richard is the direct line to Elizabeth Jessey, and it was his son John who became a tailor and moved to London.  All the Children of Thomas where born in Holsworthy Devon. 

Back to Elizabeth Jessey's father he married a hatters daughter Elizabeth Anne Robbins.  His father Joseph was a barkeeper, and perhaps this was what lead to cigar making initially.

Hi Guys, The bosankoes mentioned in Jersey in 1851 are the correct family, John Richard was the father and was 26 at the time, he was born in 1825, his father was Joseph, who was the son of John Bosankoe and he was born in Camelford Cornwall in 1768.  He was one of at least 4 children  Elizabeth the eldest, Richard first son but second born, John, and Charles the youngest who died in Plymouth in 1818, I have a copy of his will.  John Richard died in 1884 in the stepney workhouse.  He farther ed two more children Henry Cornwall in 1864, and Rosina Alice Bosankoe in 1867.  The John aged 16 years is John Joseph who was a cigar maker, but became a master tailor. He married in 1868 Alice Susannah rogers, and they had 7 children.  I am descended directly from this male line, and can trace my name to Cornwall, and earlier to Holsworthy Devon The earliest descendant is thomas Bosanco married in 1721. Edmund was a musician and the family returned to Hackney between 1861-64 when Henry was born in Hackney.

If anyone can help with earlier ancestors of mine that would be great.
