Hi Althea and Kris,
Just amazed at all these messages rushing around the world. A bit of snow around today, so it was indoors stuff for me. Have just found the death of Joanna Matthews - 5 Feb. 1855 in St.Hilary. Her age was 93 which was amazing for those years.
My next move will be out to the LDS Library this week to order the film of those marriages. That might give me some positive leads.
Again, many thanks.
Peter

Hello Althea,
Many thanks for the info. What a pity that the marriage record didn't give us a few names - that may have answered many questions!! John is my g.g.g. grandfather. I believe there were other children - Jenefer, bp. Gwennap1797; William Tocker M. bp.1787 Gwinear; James born circa 1803; and maybe Samuel bp. 1802 Gwennap. One problem is that the same names reappear in each generation. I have been trying to find who John's parents were. Okay, he was bp. in St.Hilary in1761, but I haven't discovered any site which gives the parents names. I believe John died in St.Hilary in 1841, and Jenefer in Redruth in 1817.
The saga continues!!!
Many thanks,
Peter

Trying to discover any descendants in Cornwall of John Matthews (1761-1841) and his wife Jenefer (nee Tocker) - (1756 - 1817). Believe they came from the St.Hilary area.

Hi Terry,
Thankyou for your suggestion that the Murdoch marriage may have taken place south of the border. I will be following that up as soon as possible.
Many thanks,

Roxburghshire / Murdoch marriage
« on: Thursday 05 June 08 05:32 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
James Murdoch, born 1809, Berwickshire, married Alison Oliver, born 1815, Hownam. For the life of me, I can't find the marriage. Can anyone help me?
Their first son, John Murdoch, was born in 1838 in Morebattle, so they couldn't have wandered too far.
Thankyou,
Peter
