See my other post in the forum for a project I am working on for William's grandparents, Richard and Ann Bawden.  "Bawden/Bowden Reunion Request".  I also have numerous photographs of him, his wife, children, parents, etc.

Hope you get in touch.

Cornwall / BAWDEN/BOWDEN Reunion Request
« on: Monday 23 February 09 18:20 GMT (UK)  »
I am fulfilling an idea I had several years ago of placing a grave marker on my ancestor's unmarked grave in Illogan, Cornwall. I've arranged for a stone marker to be made and have created a bronze sculpture to be affixed. My wife and I will be traveling to Cornwall at the solstice this summer with the sculpture from our home in the US to complete the project.

I've traced my roots in Cornwall back to the 1600's. I would love to meet any of my kin. My family tree can be found at the following site:

Thanks Kris.  That opens up a whole new option.  I've been ordering the LDS films but I could see that having a library of parish films at a real advantage.  It also would be cost effective as I pay $6 to loan each film from them for a month.  I'll try ordering some from the National Archives if I can figure how to do that next.

ps:  My other research has been in Finland and I was overwhelmed by the support I got from members.  I didn't think I'd get much help trying to research my Cornish roots, but...wow.  Unfortunately no good deed goes unpunished.  You'll probably be hearing again from me.

Kris:  The amount of research you are doing is astounding.  What sources are you accessing to find this information besides IGI, On line clerks, and census?  I'm still working on how to do this and learning.

Osprey:  Thank you for the advice on how to proceed at CRO.  I hope to be staying in St. Austell for a week so I can get into some research as well as see the ancestral sites.

Again to all, thank you for your kindness and generosity.

Reached a dead end with my skills on my GG Grandfather.  Married Peggy Langdon in 1851 of Saint Evel, Cornwall.  Not quite sure how to proceed.

I'll be visiting Cornwall this summer from US to put a marker and sculpture on ancestors grave and thought I might be able to find out more at Truro's CRO.  Any advice on use of this facility?
