Hi Deb

my g grandfather was William Smith, brother to Peggy Smith, who married Joseph Orchard,  so a slight  connection there,

LOL always need help,  but at the moment just enjoying the scavenger hunt,

Regards Erin  (but will have a look for some Penfolds)

Hi Erin ...

so by now you have seen that my gg grandmother Sophia Penfold nee Orchard is the sister of Joe Orchard. So your ggrandad and Joe Orchard were brothers-in-law, which kind of makes my Sophia a sister-in-law-in -law LOL

This family is so fascinating !

Deb My mind is boggling with all this information and  I think I need a drink, am just going to read your Cornish mystery thread,

 So Glad there's a connection, dont know how you would try to draw a tree though LOL

My cornish Mystery is also a little complicated ...it involves the wife of William Penfold s/o Thomas Penfold and Sophia Orchard .

William Penfold married Bessie Palmer ...they had my nan Violet Venie Penfold b 1914 .

Hi erin
i just saw your message hello Cousin !!
I am great-grand-daughter of Betsey Smith your William sister & Peggy Sister if I am correct William married Caroline Smitheram ?

there were several children :
I think there is a James ?
i also think Wisdom Smith who married Edith Buckland 1872 is possible son
These I know were James Smith children after Selina married on all other marriages he is deceased:
Selina Married Henry James 1866 plymouth
William married Caroline Smitheram 1874 Helston
Harriet married Robert Lee 1876 Cornwall
Peggy married Joseph Orchard 1875 Truro
Britannia  born 1857 never married

It would be wonderful to know more about family if you can fill in any gaps and where are you ? please say you are in Cornwall lol
