I forgot to mention that the census link you provided in your last post was very helpful.  I didn't have that family in my notes.  The head of that family could possibly be my RICHARD, although he has one of those popular forenames.

Thank you for the dates.  However, I am greatly distressed over the information in FRANCIS' burial record from 1825 because his age makes his birth-year 1795 (the birth year matches what I had from his christening record).  I thought I had seen that burial record some time ago (I cannot remember when or where) and that the birth-year was 1775.  This is critical information for me as FRANCIS is my direct ancestral link from the United States back to England in 1808 and my family's Francis died in Philadelphia on April 14, 1838!

What are the chances that your burial record for a Francis Searle with a birth-year that matches what I know for sure is a different Francis than my American ancestor? (While Searle was a common surname in Plymouth, Francis was a less common forename, which makes it hard to discount the data you provided from Francis' burial record.) I have more than five years of extensive genealogy research riding on the answer to the above question!!  No pressure, if you would like to answer it.

Do you have a Internet link to the Stoke Damerel parish register (burials) where that information came from?  I would be most grateful.  Thanks again.

No Wadges still living in Egloskerry, at least none with listed phone numbers that I could find.

However, there are at least three currently residing in the immediate vicinity:
J.P. Wadge at Trewanta Park, Lewannick, Launceston PL15 7QP
N.H. Wadge at South Parks Farm, Tresmeer, Launceston PL15 8QY
P.R. Wadge at Trillacott Grange, North Petherwin, Launceston PL15 8LS

I found your ELIZA J. WADGE in the 1871 Census at Linkinhorne (parish) and the dates checkout...
Kersbrook (residence name):
Richard C. Wadge, Head of residence, 30 yrs old, Ag Lab, Lewannick (birthplace)
Mary Wadge, Wife, 27 yrs old, Lewannick (birthplace)
ELIZABETH J., Daughter, 4 yrs old, St. Thomas (birthplace)
Annie Wadge, Daughter, 2 yrs old, St. Thomas (birthplace)
Mary J. Wadge, Daughter, 3 months old, Lewannick (birthplace)

I found no burial records for these people in Linkinhorne from the OPC database.

They obviously moved around quite a bit. 

This family should not be confused with that of Richard (copper miner) and Mary A. Wadge in Linkinhorne during the 1861 and 1881 censuses in that parish.

Thanks for the birth date of John.  I only had his christening date.

I have a total of 8 children born to Zechariah and Elizabeth (Febus) Searle: Mary, Francis, Mary Ann, William, Charlotte, Richard, John and Elizabeth.  I have their christening dates.

Do you know how I can get more information on these siblings?  For example, what source did you use for John's date of birth?  Other than my ancestor, FRANCIS, there is no other record (marriage or death) for the other members of his family.  I found a collateral reference to Frances' mother (Elizabeth) in a Last Will and Testament posted online for her step-mother.  Elizabeth received a bequest of a table!  Not bad for a step-daughter.

Thanks again for the quick repsonse with that date for John.

Cornwall Completed Lookup Requests / Re: FACY of Egloskerry - lookup
« on: Tuesday 01 February 11 21:07 GMT (UK)  »
I realize that this original post is several years olds, but here goes anyway...

I believe your original information for FRANCES FACY's year of birth (1817) was erroneous and that she was not the Frances Facy who was christened in Egloskerry on February 8, 1803 (to John and Nancy Facy).

Rather, I have concluded that your FRANCES FACY was "privately baptized" in Egloskerry on October 10, 1809 by her parents, William and Elizabeth Facy.  Unfortunately, Frances did not live long, which probably explains why the christening was private.  More than likely she was sick or close to death shortly after her birth.  Did you find that Frances was buried a few days later in Egloskerry?  There is a burial record for her dated October 14, 1809.

If you do not have data on FRANCES' parents, here is something that might be helpful:
William was born during 1781 and was buried in Egloskerry on September 28, 1826.  He had married Elizabeth Jolliffe in the neighboring parish of Tremaine on April 11, 1805.

I am responding to this part of your text:
Firstly there is JAMES EVANS b.1863,Pencarreg,Carms.
In 1901 he is listed as a Master Draper and Shopkeeper of 144,Commercial Road,NEWPORT.
Wife-ELIZA J.UNKNOWN b.1868,Egloskerry,Cornwall.
Children-ELSIE M. EVANS b.1894,Newport
              BLANCHE S. EVANS b.1896,Newport
              OLIVE G. EVANS b.1899,Newport
I would like to know if anybody recognizes the family,or the business,or has any other info. regarding these.

According to the Online Parish Clerk database, no woman from Egloskerry was born in 1868 with the name ELIZA J. (with unknown surname)  However, there are two possible women that may be your Eliza J. from the vicinity at that time.  They are:
1.  Elizabeth Symons (daughter of James and Elizabeth Symons), who was christened on July 7, 1867 in Egloskerry and whose family resided at Skinnish in the parish.
2.  Elizabeth Jenkins Wadge (daughter of Richard and Mary Wadge), who was christened on September 23, 1866 in St. Thomas by Launceston (the parish next to Egloskerry).  The family resided at Tregadillet in St. Thomas.  Richard's occupation was a labourer.

My money is on Elizabeth Jenkins Wadge as your ELIZA J.

I enjoy researching any families from Egloskerry because my own ancestors are from that charming parish.  Let me know if you need more information about either of these ladies.

Cornwall / Re: HOSKYN Burial Request
« on: Tuesday 01 February 11 18:59 GMT (UK)  »
I have family from Egloskerry that started there in the early 1700s and I have conducted extensive research into that parish.  By now you may have gotten the information you needed about Stephen Hoskyn of Egloskerry.   If not, here is what I was able to find from thr OPC database...
Stephen Hoskyne, son of Stephen, buried October 26, 1681.
Thomasin Hoskin, wife of Stephen, buried February 6, 1689.

After the death of Thomasin, Stephen likely remarried (although no marriage of it was recorded in Egloskerry) because...
Thomasine Hoskin, infant daughter of Stephen, buried December 26, 1695.
Stephen Hoskin, infant son of Stephen, buried January 7, 1699.
There is no christening record for either of these two infants in Egloskerry, which may indicate that either they died prior to being christened (at a few days old) or that they were christened in another parish (less likely).

Hoskins continued living in Egloskerry through the various censuses of the 19th century.  Hope this helps.  Would like to hear your "story" of the Hoskin family.
