Hi Zinia Padstow has a Churchyard and a separate Cemetery which opened in 1881. Your ancestor must have been buried in St Petroc's Churchyard. I am planning to start photographing both the cemetery and the Churchyard for Find A Grave shortly  and will make a point of looking for your  photograph.

Hi I have been researching the Quin family for some time.
Mark & Prudence Quinn nee Knock had nine children.
I am related through their daughter Caroline 1824 - 1875.
Mark Quin Senior was arrested  30 July 1836 for assault & robbery. He was  sentenced to death but the sentence was commuted to  transportation for life. On the 27 May 1837 he was sent to Tasmania aboard the ship Recovery. He died in 1843.
You know that sons Mark arrested in 1842 as Thomas Williams and Luke arrested  1843 were both Parkurst Boys who were sent to Williamstown.
John Quin was their 3rd child. He was arrested in 1932 aged 12 found guilty of larceny and sentenced to be whipped. he moved to Bristol where he was arrested on the 19 October 1840 and sentenced to 6 mths imprisonment. On the 14 September 1841 he married Amelia Weare at St Nicholas Church Bristol.
In the 1851 census Amelia Quin was living with her parents still in England with no children.
The next time we find them together is when Amelia Prudence Quin/ Williams was born in 1857 in Bathurst NSW. She died as a baby. They had several children but only one survived to adulthood.
A descendant researching the family claimed that John Quin was transported and changed his name to Thomas Williams. She has since passed away so can't be asked.
A John Quin was arrested and tried at the Bathurst Assizes 2nd  April 1842 for forgery and transported to Hobart Tasmania. He was given a free pardon in 1849.
 There was certainly a man called John Quin living in Goulburn in 1848 who worked as a servant for a Mr Webb who had a store at the Tamut. On the evening of the 5th May a James Roachford stole some clothes from John Quin which included his Ticket of Leave.
 These accounts were reported in the Local newspaper. The Goulburn Chronicle.

We  have no way of knowing how John and Amelia reached Australia or why Thomas Williams was such a popular alias but they were certainly 2 different men. They told their family that they were bounty immigrants but I can't find their names on any list.
I would love to know what happened to Mark & Luke  after they reached Williamstown.

Hi Trees
I believe that your John Goldingay  is probably the son of John Goldingay 1778-1858 and his first wife Elizabeth Mould, who died before 1841 when he is named in the census as married to Hannah  who is however called Johanah  in his will. John & Elizabeth has the following children that I know Eleanor 1805 who married Thomas Smith. Susanna 1808 who married Edwin Waldron, George 1810 who married Mary Ann Edwards and John bapt 1825 who I don't know anything about.
I have been studying the Moulds & Goldingays of Castle Bromwich for many years.
If I can help any more please ask

Please would someone check a marriage which the Family Search Index says is between Prudence Knock and Mark QUISM on the 14th January 1816. Please should this read Mark Quin(n)?.  I would be very grateful for any details about the couple.
The couple I am looking for are Prudence and Mark Quin who would have married about this time.
Thanks again
Sandi
