Hi Chris,

Thanks for the additional information. My initial research shows that Jeptha married Susanna Kensey on 29th August 1726 in the parish of Feock (OPC ID 323015). The IGR shows that Jepha was christened in 1703; however for his father William is appears from other research that he died in 1701 and was buried in Lanivett. I suppose it's possible that Jeptha was christened a few years after his dad died but it seems a big gap. Any views on this? Do you have a birth date for Jeptha?

My family moved to the Isle of Man from Staffordshire in the early 1960's. My father (son of Reginald Penrose who was your great uncle William's son - William moved up from Cornwall to Staffordshire with the railways at the beginning of the 20th Century), had three boys Peter, Howard (my father), Brian and a daughter Enid. I have a brother Malcolm who has two daughters and a son and I have two daughters.

I guess you may be connected with the Falmouth chandlers and sailmakers? It seems the sea is very much in the blood. My father sails and I have sailed and messed around in boats since I was 8 years old.   

Best wishes, Lee

Thanks Chris,

I do appreciate your help and look forward to hearing from you. From my internet research I'm having difficulty tracing back from Jeptha (Jehptha as in his marriage to Susanne) to William and beyond. I can't locate a date of birth for Jeptha or further details of his children particularly his son William. Going backwards I also can't find details of Jeptha's father, William and then the Joseph and the other Willam that you have mentioned in your email. Is this something you could help with? How far have you been able to go back yourself?

Best wishes, Lee

Hello Chris,

I  have just started looking at my Penrose ancestory and I think I may be a distant cousin to you.

In one of your earlier emails you mentioned that your family descends as follows:


"Ronald John, Frederick John, Frederick, Joseph, Joseph, Joseph, William, Jeptha, William, Joseph, William"

My father is Howard Penrose, my grandfather is Reginald and my great grandfather is William (married to Mary Hurd. I then like you go through the Josephs to William so I guess we share the same great great grandfather.

I would be very interested to learn more about my ancestory and so far have only really been able to get to Joseph Penrose married to Ann Pascoe through the internet (mainly the census) but have nothing concrete from then onwards. As I live on the Isle of Man (where my parents and brother also live) I can't get to Cornwall easily to do any research, but I would value and information you may be willing to share. I look forward to making your acquaintance.

Best wishes, Lee Penrose
