Cornwall / Charter of Pardon to the Cornish Stannary Parliament 1508
« on: Friday 22 March 19 19:35 GMT (UK) »
An article was recently posted on Facebook concerning the Charter of Pardon granted by King Henry VII to the Cornish Stannary Parliament in 1508, effectively pardoning over 1500 named Cornish people for their part in the uprising against the English in 1497. Attached to this article was a photograph of a small portion of the original document on which were recorded the names of two of my ancestors (amongst others). Does anyone know where a copy of the full list of 1500 names can be found please?

Cornwall / Re: MARTYN Family of St Columb Minor
« on: Sunday 23 September 18 13:31 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help me to identify a member of the Martyn family please?
On 9 Dec 1721 at St Columb Minor, Margaret Martyn married John Sampson. Following his death in 1732, she married Richard Rickard dying in 1780.
I suspect that Margaret was the daughter of Richard Martyn and Jane but can anyone help me to confirm this please?

Can anyone help to identify or date the uniform this young man is wearing please? I believe it could be a relative who later became connected with the Hain Shipping Company.

I wonder if the reference to Truro refers to the port where the indentures were signed? Anyway, thanks for all your help.

Thanks Hugh & Seaweed for your responses. My ancestor was James Trebilcock (of Newquay, although not stated as such in the index). He was 16 in 1845, when he was bound to J Dark of St Agnes. Under the column headed "Remarks", Truro appears. All this suggests that the St Ives vessel is the correct one. I guess the next step would be to try to find him in BT151.

Occupation Interests / Merchant Navy Apprentices BT150
« on: Saturday 19 March 16 13:45 GMT (UK) »
I have found an ancestor on the Merchant Navy Apprentices Index BT150. In the column headed "Vessel in which apprentice is to serve" some numbers follow the vessel's name. In this case "Thames 109" Can anyone please enlighten me as to what the numbers refer to. I had originally thought that they might be Port Numbers but this seems not to be the case. Thanks.
