Calling descendants of the union of Bennett PENROSE of Sennen and Jane Lanion

[Chris Penrose]

I would like to make contact with descendants of Bennett PENROSE of Sennen, born about 1535.

My link is through his son William from his marriage to Jane Lanion, then to William PENROSE of Merther, up through the St Clement PENROSES, the Joseph PENROSES of Truro, to my Great Grandfather - Frederick PENROSE of Falmouth.

If you are a descendant, or need any help with your PENROSE research, please send me a personal message.

Myself and five other descendants of this union would very much like to hear from you.

All the best

Hi

I have just discovered that Bennett Penrose was my wife's 11g grandfather.  Her 3g grandfather Arthur P was assay master of Redruth in 1824.  Her g grandfather Richard went from Illogan to California in 1870 to work in the mines but came back a couple of years later. His daughter Lucretia had two illegitimate children who she left in an orphanage in London - one of these was her father.
Bennet's 5(?)g grandfather Richard Penres seems to have married Eleanor Camville, who can be traced back to William de Braose, 4th Lord of Bramber.  He is also my 23g grandfather, so that makes my wife and I 23rd cousins.

I would be very interested to get a clearer picture of Bennett's ancestry going back to Richard, and would be happy to share what I have with anyone who is interested.

Hi Roger

I have tipped off the other Penrose cousins on my group about this posting, and know that at least one of them has already been in touch.

All the best

I go back through the Joseph Penrose's of Truro back to William of Merther.  If you could let me know your Penrose ancestry, I will be able to tell you our mutual ancestor.

All the best

hi David

I am back six generations at a marriage in 1705 just at the moment and am giving up for the night, having had a mixture of fun between the parishes, people who insist on having the same name while being born just days apart, LDS pedigrees skipping generations then having the gall to offer you CD GEDCOMs! etc etc

This should give everyone a laugh. It is from the Phillimore's marriage book for Cornwall:

........................................................................................

Marriages at Sancreed, 1559 to 1812.

NOTES-The following entries have been extracted from three Registers all of which are in an excellent state of preservation. The list of Marriages is continuous and apparently complete except from I647 to 1635.

The first Volume, which contains ail entries from x.559 to 1743 opens with three pages of cypher, the key to which is easily discoverable owing to the dates being given in the usual way. Thus :-T k q b o p n Cbpdbps & Zlsp Qbyqoo, Slopurbp 29 1695 is obviously Charles Trewren & Jone Argall, November 29, 1695, which entry is also found entered in its proper place. As the pages of cypher add nothing to the completeness of the record, they are omitted here, The second volume gives the marriages from 1743 to 1754 when it was superseded by Hardwicke’s register. The entries have been copied bv the Revs E. R. Nevill and T. Taylor, and are printed by permission of the Rev. John Stona, MA., Vicar of Sancreed.
.........................................................

Now, I am betting that you are really disappointed that all the old records aren't in a cypher! I can tell you that when someone transcribed the parish records for Guiseley and Yeadon in Yorkshire, the coding sequences they used to fit everything onto a limited size and number of pages per book almost baffled me!

 

I will send the info as soon as I can get a link into the visitations - might be tomorrow or the next day now.

All the best

Chris

PS Joseph Penrose was a tin miner. If he died in a mining accident, it should be recorded in a specialist source - if not genealogical, then perhaps at the Cornish Mining College in Camborne/Redruth.
