Cornwall / Re: The REYNOLDS family of St Agnes, Cornwall (early 1700s to 1850)

(I will use consistent spelling here, although the records vary.)

I am the great-grandson of Harriett Reynolds (1833 - 1911). She was one of 11 children born to William Reynolds (1792 - 1844) and Avis Walters (1796 - 1856) who married in Mawgan in 1820 but who lived in Mawla hamlet.
The family was:
Richard (1821-1873)
William (1823 - 1824)
Elizabeth (1825 - 1834)
Hannah/Anna (1826 - 1842)
Philippa (1828 - 1834)
William (1830 - ?)
Seymour (1832 - ?) - a blacksmith, emigrated to the USA. He was in Colorado in 1880
Harriett (1833 - 1911) - when a teenager Harriett sewed a lovely sampler with all the family names
Elizabeth (1835 - 1922)
Philippa (1838 - 1865)
Nicholas (1842 - 1922)

William Reynolds senior (1792 - 1844) was one of several children born to James Reynolds (1760 - 1827) and Elizabeth Seymour (1766 - 1845) who married in St Agnes in 1786.
The family was (probably):
Sophia Seymour (1787 - 1868)
Harriett (1789 - ? 1872)
William (1792 - 1844)
Samuel (1795 - 1846)
Jeremiah (1796 - 1849)
Kezia (1798 - ? 1852)
Elizabeth (1802 - after 1871)
Isaiah (1800 - ?)
Jane (1805 - ?)
Nicholas (? 1816 - after 1853)
Philippa (1816 - after 1871)

James Reynolds (1760 - 1827) was (probably) one of at least three children born to Nicholas Reynolds (1724 - ?) and Jane Sauden (?) who married in St Agnes in 1754. The others were William b. 1755 and Nicholas junior died 1760.

Nicholas Reynolds senior was probably born in St Agnes 1724 to William Reynolds.

Elizabeth Seymour (1766 - 1845) was one of at least 7 children born to Richard Seymour (b. 1732) and Frances Nicklas (?) who married in Kenwyn in 1759.  Richard Seymour may have been the son of William Seymour, who himself may have been the son of Christopher Seymour (or Seamers).

Grant   ;D

I agree with your assessment - thanks for that, I've just gained three great-great-great uncles!

In fact two of Jeremiah's daughters married cousins, sons of William Reynolds and Avis Walters. I can give you more detail there if you want.

I also have information on (my) James Reynolds' parents and his grandfather.

regards

Seymour

Hi there

I don't have a link to James Reynolds born 1793 - there are James Reynolds, christened 1790 and 1791 but they don't seem to be my family.
St Agnes was a typical Cornish parish with mixed farming and mining.
What year are you talking about when James was in Neath?

regards Seymour

Hi there - I can help a little with the Reynolds of St Agnes. My ancestors are James Reynolds and Elizabeth Seymour. My 4th cousin in California and I are both researching our Reynolds connections.
Their children included Sophia Seymour 1787, Harriett 1789, William 1792, Kezia 1798 baptised 1800, Elizabeth 1802, Jane 1805, Philippa 1816 and Nicholas (also 1816).
By looking at witnesses, birth location (we're from Mawla farm) and details of father's name on marriage certificates we've narrowed things down a bit. Still a long way to go!

You've obviously got access to records I don't know about. That could well be my James, but how can I find their children's names?

regards Seymour

Just realised that there is also a Malvern in Adelaide, and far more Cornishmen went to South Australia than to Victoria.

Great help everyone, thanks!

I'm still wondering what happened to James. I have a couple of photos of him and one of J L Hosking, a baby in Malvern, Victoria.

Hi

I'm looking for information on James Henry Hosking, son of Thomas Hosking, who emigrated from Breage in Cornwall to Australia. He was born around 1842. His brother Thomas emigrated around 1860 and went to South Australia.

It is possible James went to Melbourne and had a child J L Hosking.
