Cornish Mystery

[Truromian]

Paul and Tye - do you have any more info on Joseph and Sarah (Williams Parents) ie Sarahs maiden name and where they came from?
just wondering if Joseph was in the Navy too?
seems like it runs in the Family

Hi All, Reference Joseph and Sarah, my info is based on FreeCen entries and my conclusions are as follows;- Joseph Ivey b.1800 St Austell Tin Miner/Labourer d. before 1881 - Sarah ? b.1800 Redruth, died after 1881. Hopefully someone can confirm this and perhaps add to it. Regards Paul Tye

There is a exhibition in Falmouth regarding the Titanic sinking in 1912
app members of the Hocking Family survived, just wondering if any of those are from your clan?

Thanks for that information. I am gobsmacked that some anscestors of my husbands could have been passengers on the Titanic. I have looked on the internet for information and have found lots about the Hockings on there so thanks. I will now dig deep and discover some links and will let you know.

The Exhibition is at the Maritime Muesum in Falmouth, also in Truro Cathedral
there is a memorial stone to those who died on the Titanic
lots of Cornish people were on board and as its a Sea fairing place - families were either into Maritime or Mining.
I live not far from Truro so if you need any scouting let me know

Hi Deb
            I am very interested in your family tree, my maternal grandmother was Laura Irene Penfold. Her parents were William Penfold b. 1873 and Bessie Palmer b. 1877 form Kenwyn Cornwall. Bessie's parents were John and Mary Palmer. I have only recently started tracing my family history and so far this is all I know for this side of the family. It certainly looks like we have the same ancestors!   Johanna
