FRANCIS family St Enoder

[jahjahau]

Hi again, Kris,
Yes, it's frustrating not knowing for sure, isn't it? 

There are a few queries that have kept me busy with this line.  I cannot find Jacob after the 1851 census; William Thomas after he was mentioned in a letter of which I have a copy as being 'a baby in long clothes'  when Esau left for Australia in 1853; or Albert after what may be him on a boat in 1881 census Seaford, Sussex, England - Albert FRANCIES on vessel “Elizabeth Williams” 19,  O S MS, born  Portsmouth, Hampshire, England.

The others I have been able to trace down through a couple of generations.

Thanks
Judy

I just went through the burials again Judy and the only burial in Padstow 1851 - 1861 is that of Rosina Anne aged 5 weeks

Looking at baptisms again

Rosina Anne FRANCIS bap 12 Jul 1857 father Lab of Padstow buried 19 July 1857 aged 5 weeks of Padstow

Something else really strange I just noticed - the twins list their parents as Isaac and Rebecca. Hendor (or I think that is what it says) lists Isaac and Elizabeth as do the rest of the baptisms 

Elizabeth FRANCIS was buried 30 Nov 1862 Padstow aged 48 years of Padstow
Isaac FRANCIS was buried Padstow 11 Jun 1876 aged 71 years of Padstow

Cheers Kris

Hello Kris, Judy and Dennis! 

I have just checked my emails and read all this new information pertaining to the FRANCIS family from St Enoder. Fantastic!

Tonight I can spend some time revisiting the information I have before me, and, working through this additional data. I will be in contact again as soon as possible.

With a smile 

Elsie

Hi all,

I don't suppose that any of your Francis family ventured to live in either Kea or Kenwyn?

I have James Francis (hubby's 5x gt grandfather), possibly baptised 3 Jan1748 Kea- father James. Or he was baptised 5 Nov 1750 - father James.

I do know that James (5x gt grandfather) married Catherine Trevivian 4 Nov 1775 in Kea.

Where either of the James Francis snr came from I don't know.

Just wondering if there's a conection?

I have a direct ancestor, Mary Francis (1748-1825), buried in St Enoder church yard. She married John Clemow (1748-1797). She was born in St Mawgan in Pydar, it's quite close, and I have others in my tree that came from St Mawgan to St Enoder.

St Enoder today is little more than a church in a setting of fields and countryside, with various scattered farm buildings, and quite unpopulated, though in the 18th century it was a really thriving community and a lot of Cornish families have roots there.

I'll be going there later this month if anyone wants any graves photographed.
