Cornwall / Re: William POLLARD and Caroline GEORGE
« on: Saturday 07 November 09 07:45 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

The information I have for William Pollard came from a letter sent to me when I was young from a Great Uncle who found or had a copy of an interview that was given by William Pollard in 1907, the year before he died. All the information I am going by has come from that interview.

I am sure that Henry Pollard you have found is indeed William's brother. In the interview, William said that his brother had come to Australia a few years before he did.

William settled in South Australia in 1847 and did mining, carpentry and gardening before passing away in 1908. We have extensive information about the family since him, but tracing his parents is our next challenge.

Thank you for your help

Cornwall / William POLLARD from Endellion/Redruth

Hi

I have been able in the last few hours to validate some information about William Pollard born 14 July 1819 in the Parish of Endellion, Cornwall. I have been given information through a lookup last year that found his birth notice, listing his parents as Samuel and Anne. It is his parents I am interested in, now that I know this is the William Pollard I was looking for.

William's father kept a private school in Endellion and this is where William was educated until at the age of 14 he became an apprentice Carpenter in Redruth, then a Journeyman. He subsequently married Caroline George in 1844 then came to Australia on the Rajah in 1847 with son William Henry Pollard. William had a brother (possibly Henry) who came to Australia before William and Caroline did.

I was wondering if anyone could help me with the parentage of William. Particularly his mother's maiden name so I can continue my search. Were records about schools in Endellion kept for the 1820/1830's?

Any help is appreciated

Regards
Marnie

Hi

I have been given that information before and it may be possible the name was mis-spelled.

HI

I am also related to William Pollard married to Caroline George but am having difficulty finding any information about William prior to him coming to Australia. I really want to know the names of his parents. Have you had any luck with any information.

Kind regards
