Hi Jeenie,

No problem I deleted one

Will the search box work for you?

http://crocat.cornwall.gov.uk/DServe/searchpage.htm

I just typed in Buckingham

Here were the refs for Phillip (maybe the direct links to the articles may work for you)

More study required to work out if the Will is father or son.

Seems funny that we don't have many baptisms to either of these couples we know had children baptised in Linkinhorne. As you say Tavistock is not far away so maybe the answer is there. I am not at home Jeenie but just wondered if these chaps left wills it may leave a clue as to if there were other children

Copies can be ordered from the CRO by filling out the form ans mailing the appropriate fee

no matter what, I can't get to view anything on the site you have provided !     (I do get in some places a message : 0 x 0004 too many records found.) 

   And this threw me, because I thought it was trying to find the record, but there was some sort of computer glitch.   

On re reading, the next day, I see my posting can be misconstrued.  What I meant is I can get the Catalogue entries, but not the documents themselves;  which is what I expected, from the site itself ie,

Viewing the results of a search
To view the full entry for any record, click on the green number to the left of the reference number.
Tree view of a collection
The tree view shows a whole collection in a nested structure.
To view the full entry for an individual item, click on the green number on the left.
Not all of the sections in the tree may be displayed at first.  To view a hidden section, click on the + sign beside the reference number for the section you wish to view.

If "you" (3rd party) get up eg the catalogue entry for #78, for the Will of Philip Buckingham, and then click on AP/B/5115, one gets :

Overview of the collection. 
Click on a number to view that record.  Click on the '+' to expand the tree and see the hidden records or '~' to close a section of the tree.
0x0004 TOO MANY RECORDS FOUND.    And I thought it was trying to disply the document, but couldn't.

But if you go back to Search the catalogue, and then enter RefNo AP/B/5115 you get a screen with a number 1 to the left of the reference number - as described in the Help pages.  And it is here that I expected to see the actual document !  But I now realize that this is not what was meant at all - just my misinterpretation !

So this is a long winded way of saying I was at fault, and the reason for this entry is an explanation so others do not fall for the same mis-take !!

Just trying to look at all possible alternatives, could Ann have been the daughter of an unmarried mother, who then married a Buckingham, and Ann took this name ?  ie, did this happen then ?   (It seems to me, from other research, that back then people tended to keep their birth surnames.)

We note that from Ann's 28 May 1870 Death Certificate says age 77, (which possibly means 77th year), so, if correct, she was born in 1792 or 3, or 1794 - which "matches" the range from the 1841 census.  These details were provided by the daughter-in-Law, not the son [John] (although there was probably no family difficulties (?) because they had 16 children from 1857 [another John], regularly, ranging from every 11 months to start until 21 months in 1881, when she died, of puerperal fever.)

Hi, Kris.

We have sent a request for the Will, as you suggested, and the other "interesting" document.

I contacted Lynda in Linkinhorne, who kindly rechecked the records, in particular if just possibly Elizabeth could have been Eliza Ann, but no luck.  But she suggested who I could contact for North Hill.

So I contacted Gwyneth who has just advised a baptism for 24 Nov 1793 dau of John and Grace, Trebartha village.  And IGI records go back even further.  Hey Presto !   

Thanks ever so much for your help - this posting can now be considered * Completed *
  Jeenie.
