I also have Penrose ancestors from Cornwall. Arthur Penrose, baptised 1777 in Redruth, left Cornwall just after 1804 to move to Tavistock in Devon. One of his sons (my gg grandfather), also called Arthur, was baptised there in 1816 and by 1841 had moved to London. Would love to swap Penrose ancestry with anyone.

Dear Gillian

I am not sure if you received (or if I actually sent) a reply to your email of over a year ago. Your Arthur b 1777 is my gg grandfather, and the Penrose family tree is very skimpy on the Tavistock side. Would love to hear from you... Kind regards, Perran Penrose (Liskeard)

I know Brittany well and visit several times a year.

I note you recommend the vast horwitzfam site. I think it is based on the inaccurate Salt Lake City Penrose records, many of which I don't think are properly verified. Eg I am descended directly from John Penrose bp 1673 m Jane Richards, son of John and Constance Bawden, but on that site John is a dead end - there is a will, and documentary evidence. If I recall they mixed up a Richard and a John at some point... But I am fascinated by all the pre-parish records conjectures - where is the evidence for them?

I don't see clearly the line from Bennett but that is something I would like to see evidence of! My earliest evidence is Richard who is buried in Redruth 9/8/1691 (m Jone/Joan).

I would certainly like to discuss your documentation and would be very happy to share mine - my missing parts are the later Tavistock connections, which is frustrating as Tavistock is next door, so I need to get to work on that!

Which part of the tribe to you come from?

Regards - Perran

I have just seen this site! I did much research on Penroses years ago, and have a fair amount of material. For those of you who are Redruth, my records go back to Richard c.1625-1691 m. Jone/Joan. Wd certainly like to hear from you.

(Although it may be the case, I am not convinced that Penvose and Penrose are the same - they mean very different things in Kernewek, and are distinct geographical names: still there is much room for misprints!!!)

Not sure if you all follow this site still as I see the postings are old, but

Kind regards
Perran Penrose (Liskeard)
