Hello coxsie,

We've been out of touch for almost 2 years! Where does the time go? Rhetorical question.

I'm happy to report that my "genealogy binges" followed by long periods of digestion and reflection are shared by other Landreys and variants, including My American Cousin Lynn Smith in West Virginia, CFHS Member Number 23255 who emailed August 1,

Thank you so much for getting back in touch. Since I first started this whole genealogy thing some 20+ years ago, I seem to be following a pattern of absolutely manic activity, followed by long dry spells. I'm suddenly all inspired again!

She too is striving to confirm her descent from William Landry (I'll use that spelling rather than flip back and forth).

The PDF of her connection with us is too big to attach. :( I'm certain that I'm descended from William. Today's goosebumpy headsmack is his birthday: October 22nd 1620. My dad Joseph Irwin Landrey (deceased September 24 2004) was born October 22nd 1919. 299 years apart heck, lets make that 300. As my parents used to say "good enough for government work".

I've also been in contact with my cousin (used loosely I haven't mastered numbers and removes) Brenda Quintrell CFHS Member Number 01839. She's been a member of the CFHS so long she's one of the "renumbered".

I hope this message finds you well. If you get back in touch we should exchange real emails. My name is Ann Landrey, my email is ann.landrey@gmail.com

Happy New Year!

Thanks for your advice re the Cornwall Family History Society. I submitted my application and await membership. See you there!

Thanks too for attaching your chart. I'll print it and sort it out in my "map room" :) aka the wall! Attaching it gives everyone access to it which is great. We'll see how many other Laundrys come out in the wash.

I see Soby and Sobey in your chart. That's a big name in Canada. Sobeys is a supermarket chain. What software are you using? I should compile my chart into compatible software. And save it in three different places, I know, I know.

I'm confident we share descent from John Laundry and Elizabeth Willes m. 12 July St. Neot. I'm also more confident about your finding Elizabeth Willes's birth in 1580. It's a reasonable inference if she named a daughter Jone after her mother and a son William after her father. Time will tell!

Hi babscarly, welcome to RootsChat. Everyone has been super helpful. You say you haven't had any luck at all.

Where have you been searching? As I posted before, I'm very new at this and already "cocksie" found me. We go back 10 generations in the direct line.

cocksie recommeds the Cornwall Family History Society. Hi cocksie, which membership? I'm "non-UK". What's the difference between "individual" and "family"? I could ask the Society, but asking here may answer for us both.

I wish you better luck on RootsChat. Luck's a strange bedfellow. Who was it said, "I worked really hard for xty years then I got lucky".  :)

Hello Alhal,

Five years long enough?  ;D

Radio silence from you for ever so long. You there? I replied today to your post in
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,218883.msg1338249.html#msg1338249

The Gandy branch you say. My daughter is getting married next summer in Nova Scotia. I tried to engage Bruce Gandy http://www.brucegandymusic.com/ to pipe at her wedding but he'll be competing at the World Masters and the World Pipe Band Championships in Scotland. That's okay, he recommended another piper, who I have engaged.

Hope to hear some *static* from you soon,

Ann

Hello alhal, Allan,

Are any of these the marriages of your relatives then :-

I think so. I'm new to rootschat but I'm cautiously optimistic that, on a first boo through your long list of Landrys in your reply to bergs,
Quote
On 21 Sep 1629 in St Neot George LAUNDRIE married Anne BURGIS
On 3 Jul 1632 in St Neot Thomasine LAUNDRY married Robert DAWE
On 15 Jun 1635 in St Neot Martha LAUNDRY married Matthew OTTRAM
On 9 Feb 1646 in St Neot Jone LANDRY married John KEANE

These 4 marriages (could Thomasine be Tamsyn?) are possibles. For a start.

I am directly descended from

They had nine children

I am descended from William. Here's my chart
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=567593.0;id=253552

I chanced upon this thread three weeks ago
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=567593.new;topicseen#new

Early this morning Toronto time who should surface but a long lost--400 years lost--Australian "rellie", cocksie. Cocksie looks perhaps to have broken the Landry "1600 barrier" for me, with her/his suggestion on the parentage of Elizabeth Willes:
Quote
Elizabeth Willes is interesting.  Cornwall Family History Society database has multiple variations of the spelling of this surname - Willes, Wills, Will, Wille, Wil, Wylls etc.  She COULD have been the daughter of Willm Will and Jone Hawton - chr. Feb 1580 St Neot

I would be very surprised if we're not connected.

Hello bergs, my Landrys too--St. Neot. I'm a total newbie on rootschat. I got connected at this thread
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=567593.new;topicseen#new

which a moderator has merged. I'm so new at this! Anyhoo--I need more sleep as a relative of mine, we go back to a Landry marriage 12 July 1600 St. Neot, is in Australia which is 14 hours ahead of me!

I hope we can connect and maybe my Landrys and yours have something in common. My genealogy chart is on the thread. I daren't rename it or I'll go crazy!

Fascinating indeed. I am newbier than thou :) Such a "noob" that I haven't even filled in my profile basics, family names, areas of interest etc.

I inherited the fantastic tree. Its provenance is Davey. I have a basic grasp of the Landrys, (& variants) Daveys and Trevans (& variants) in my family. Only yesterday thanks to this thread did I make the connection between the "oddity" of my great grand father's older sister Fanny Rhoda's birth not being in the Sheviock register but being registered on the Callington Circuit Wesleyan Register.

Bastards, lots of them. My 4 gggm Annie Cli(y)nnick had a son with John Trevan before she married John Landrey. My great grandfather Jos. Wm. Landrey married his deceased wife's sister and had five more children. What's a fellow to do when his wife dies and leaves him with an infant?

Elizabeth Willes could have been the daughter of Willm Will and Jone Hawton.
Quote
She COULD have been the daughter of Willm Will and Jone Hawton - chr. Feb 1580 St Neot

Born in St. Neot, married there at age 20, named her daughter Jone and her son William. Good work--I hadn't considered all the variants of the surname. Where do you see the record of her christening Feb. 1580 St Neot?

I agree, the name Jone is due for a revival. What a great name.

And so to bed, to rise to an explanation of "arvo nap time in OZ".  ???

Wow, great to hear from you cocksie! I was intrigued to see such a rapid response to my last post, but OZ makes sense. None of us doing this stuff sleeps anyway, right?

I attach the lineage. My descent is from William, the 8th of 9 children recorded, born October 22nd 1620, 299 years to the day--October 22nd 1919--my dad Joseph Irwin Landrey was born.

This chart ends with my great grandfather,  Joseph William Landr(ey).

Well well. I must pause and reflect--how did I stumble upon this thread? The moderators have revived and merged it.  And a good thing too!

I look forward to hearing more from you. I've tried to break the "1600 barrier" with no success. That is, Stephen and Elizabeth (3 months' pregnant) married 12 Jul St. Neots, but I cannot find either of them born.
