James Family - St Just-in-Penwith

[RosemaryD]

Hi,  I wonder if anyone out there is a descendant of William JAMES b. abt 1815 Gulval.  He married Elizabeth TREMBATH b. abt 1820 St Just-in-Penwith in 1840 and after living in Zennor with her parents when they first married,  moved back to Bosulval nr Gulval and then on to St Just.  They raised at least 9 children, one of whom was my g grandfather, Joseph b. 1858.  Would love any info on this family please.

Thanks

Hi Rosemary,

Not sure what information you are after. Have you traced the family through the census? We are very fortunate with Cornwall that so much information is available free.

There is some great information available for Gulval, St Just and Zennor. I can see a baptism listed for William James Sep 7 1815 in Gulval, and looks like his parents marriage in 1813  Sure you will find plenty of interest there

Hi Kris,  Thanks for your reply and the websites.  I shall have a good look later and hopefully get a bit further.  So far I have just looked at Census info.  I am hoping someone out there reading this will be related!

Cheers & thanks again for your help.

Thanks Ian for that website.  Fantastic stuff and I've been looking at it for ages.  Hoping I might link up somewhere but there's a lot to look through!  I think I might have linked up my Grenfell family so result.

Thanks Rose

 ,  Thanks for sending those details re Elizabeth Trembath.  My Elizabeth was the daughter of William & Catherine and in 1840 when Elizabeth married William JAMES they were living at Chykembro, Zennor.

Cheers & thanks.
