Cornwall / MARTYN Family of St Columb Minor
« on: Wednesday 18 June 08 14:58 BST (UK) »
Hello from England.
My husband is Richard Andrew M-J, son of Bradford Alfred M-J who is son of Rev Constantine Bradford M-J. CBM-J would have been born in the late 19th century. He died long before I came on the scene tho' I did notice that the UK national archives have his wartime diaries (1914-18) in their catalogue.
My father-in-law and his younger brother both have handed-down stories about their branch of the Ms and Js before (and after) farm bankruptcy overtook them and might well respond to letters. The mark on our copy of the tree suggests they are descended from John Johns (cousin of Mrs (?) Trinidad) and Mary Humphreys - no doubt one of them will be able to confirm that. Between them they are in touch with a family called Tremaine and also a huge tribe of Maunsells in New Zealand who are (I think) also descended from the Ms and Js.
As I said, my husband's family, not mine, but if any of this is of interest do let me know. Some M-Js are away at the moment but I foresee a lot of interest in the new information on the "captured by pirates" story when they return.
Kind regards,
