Hi Folks,

Thought I would try this again. I see the Poslglase burials took place in Breage

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~althea/index.html

The dates will confirm the correct GRO refs. Looks like the Philippa who died in 1843 was aged 86 so not yours.  ;)

BTW Deb,

I did follow up on your musician. He was born 1847 Cheltenham, 1871 married. 1881 he is back in Cheltenham with wife and family now a painter. It is a pity we don't have any Penrose researchers joining us with information on the John brissygal originally had in mind.

I am again looking for possibles and have my eye on

John Oratio PENROSE baptised 16 Jul 1830 Truro St Mary's

Siblings
Henry PENROSE 5 Dec 1823
Jane Stokes Phillips PENROSE 31 Mar 1826
Thomas Phillips PENROSE 30 May 1828

John PENROSE = Grace STOKES 1 Dec 1822 Truro St Mary

Grace is in Truro St Mary's - independent, presumably widowed, with the three boys in 1841

Cheers Kris  :D

Hi everyone

I think that Grace Penrose nee Stokes (mother) is living with her son Thomas in London in 1871...no sign of John Oratio Penrose.

Cannot seem to find any of them in 1851 or 1861 ??

Where are they??...  ::)

deb

Kris...I'm happy to see you again  :)

Hi Deb,

I couldn't find any trace of John or Grace after 1841 so looks like you did better than me to find her with Thomas in 1871. Please put me out of my mystery here Deb. Don't know if my brain is not awake yet but I still don't see them  ::)

Strange isn't it. If there is any truth in John being a wandering minstrel, I guess he was rather like your gypsy ancestors and avoided the census. Thing is I would expect that a confectioner was a trained person so I just don't know where he is, but I find it hard to imagine a confectioner having previously been an ag lab or miner in cornwall. It just doesn't seem to fit. I Wondered also if he had maybe travelled far across the seas and been away for years. If that was so and he had been overseas for many years and returned to UK, one would expect this would definitely be mentioned in family stories.

There is also a John who lists as a pipe maker and moves between Devon and Cornwall. (Widowed in 1871) Thought it may have been Grace's son and tracked him about yesterday, but it isn't - I eventually found him in Devon, already married in 1841. (and he was perhaps just a little old anyway) I wondered if these pipes were maybe not as in tobacco but perhaps something used in confectionery making to pipe sweets but no - not so. He does in one enumeration list as tobacco pipe maker so again I was getting nowhere.

I started out just posting that the Polglase burials were in Breage when I spotted them yesterday, while looking for something on the site, when Stephen aged 9 jumped out at me, so I looked a little closer and saw the parents etc and wondered if brissygal had found it. I ended up spending hours looking for John Penrose again but still don't seem to have helped.........Kris  :D
