Cornwall / 1837 Diseases in Redruth area
« on: Friday 07 March 25 03:09 GMT (UK) »
I have a number of ancestors who passed at fairly young ages in 1837. They were not miners. What kind of disease was going around that year?

She was a widow - I think. I now know better than accept without fact 
I will run down the kids now. I had not done that. Thank you!

United States of America / William Collingwood from Newcastle Upon Tyne to USA 1850 and his family

William and Dorothy Collingwood and several unmarried brothers and sisters, widowed mother, a married brother, and all the kids came over to NY July 1850 on Ship Constellation. I have assembled quite a bit on these folks but still have questions. Maybe someone has info?
William was born 1801 to Ralph and Elizabeth. Married Dorothy Oliver 1834. US in 1850.
Eventually my branch arrrived in Dodgeville, WI about 1860.
Dorothy is buried at East Side Cemetery in Dodgeville very oddly apart from everyone. But nowhere can I find William or his obituary or a death record. I've been to the courthouse many times, searched many databases.
I wonder where and when William died - from the census he was alive in 1870. Nothing after that. And where is he buried? I already found another 3great grandfather who "runned off" with the maid so I imagine there is something hiding out there. Otherwise my great-aunt would have recorded him in the records.

I can help with the Margaret Penberthy and William Cock question. I am a descendant of Isaac and Elizabeth Penberthy also.
From what I have been able to find, William went to Brazil to manage or invest in a mine. One or two of their children went with and they are all three buried there. Then I found Margaret in Iowa County, Wisconsin with a couple of kids (the youngest ones) living with a sister and brother in law. Some of the kids probably stayed in Cornwall with grandparents and I don't think Margaret ever went back. I believe she remarried. At some point I will find my notes on this. Margaret is not my direct line - her brother John is - and I stumbled on census records and went down the rabbit hole....The James Penberthy mentioned in your post is Margaret's brother.
