Cornwall / Re: The Riviera Palace Hotel, Penzance

To Kit
The building (now Bolitho private school) is still there but much altered. It's grounds must have stretched down to Alverton Street as the building itself is set quite a way from Alverton Street. The grounds now hold such roads as King's Road, along which length you have to travel from Alverton Street and then up another road (the name escapes me although it may be Clements Road) before you reach the building itself.
Alverton Street isn't really as long as it may look. It was the main road into Penzance, previously the A30, from Alverton Manor, after which it was named. It's about a twenty minute walk along its length (done it many times!).

Cornwall / Harris family Penryn, marriage brickwall
« on: Tuesday 20 November 12 15:36 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to find the marriage of a John Harris and his wife Catherine.
In the 1851 census they are both down as having been born in Penryn.
They had 9 children from what I can see, including children with middle names of Olver and Goodman.
Therefore I would imagine that Catherine's maiden name could be either Olver or Goodman. The children were baptised at St Gluvias with the exception of one who was baptised at Penryn Weslyan.
The first child was baptised on 5/6/1814.
Can anybody help please?

Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Re: Origins of John Allen
« on: Saturday 10 March 12 16:57 GMT (UK) »
Thank you so much for trying Z.
I have had another look at the marriage certificate and the surname of John Allen could well be down as Hallan and not Hallam as I previously thought. That having been said, according to my Gt Grandmother, he was definately called John Allen, so it looks as if there was a problem with accents here.
Thank you again for your efforts

Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Re: Origins of John Allen

Thank you Z for taking an interest in this query.
The address on the marriage certificate is Queen St, Pemberton. The witnesses were Richard Cassley (Frances had a brother called Richard and I think this may be him) and a William Webster (although I am not 100% on the surname here).
Frances, who was always known as Fanny was wrongly down in the cesus as Margaret. You have the correct family. Margaret was Frances's sister. As far as I am aware Frances was not known by any other name than Fanny.

Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Origins of John Allen
« on: Tuesday 06 March 12 15:28 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to find the origins of John Allen who was apparently from Wales.
He was recorded as a miner on my Gt Grandmother's marriage certificate and as being her father. She grew up believing she had been born in South Wales.
I have the marriage certificate of John Allen to my 2x Gt Grandmother which took place in Pembury, Lancashire on 24th January 1880. On it John's surname was spelt as Hallam and his wife, who was actually Frances Casley, was down as Fanny Cassley. John's age was stated as 31, he was a bachelor, a collier and his father was down as Thomas Hallam, farm labourer.
My Gt Grandmother was actually born in Pemberton. However, there were two subsequent children, William John Allen and Mary Frances Allen both recorded on the 1891 and 1901 census as having been born in South Wales or Wales.
William John Allen was born about 1881 and Mary Frances Allen about 1886.
I have been unable to trace the family on the 1881 census.
The only other information I can give is that on Free BMD there is a birth of a William John Allen in Dec qtr 1880 in LLanelly and the birth of a Mary Frances Allen in Dec qtr 1885 in Merthyr Tydfil.
By 1891, Frances was a widow and living back in her native Cornwall.
Can anybody help by finding a baptism for either William John Allen or his sister Mary Frances Allen or a burial for their father between 1885 and 1891 or a census entry for 1881 for the family?

We have a Lavinia Kelynack in my husband's family tree and later descendants are down at a funeral with the name Vinnie as a shortened form of Lavinia. They are all from Newlyn/Paul parish. As you have Kelynacks in your reseach area of families and they are from Newlyn could yours also be Lavinia?
