St Breock Births/Baptisms

[steveh37]

I have been searching for St Breock Parish Births/Baptisms but can't seem to find a site that has any listed. Did find one for grave stones but this did not help as the person I am trying to trace was born at St Breock but died in Egloshayle I think. He is listed on the 1881 census as John S Hill Born about 1833 his death was registered in the Bodmin area Q4 1899 vol 5c page 54. have tried Cornish OPC and also LDS still no joy can anyone suggest where else to look

Thanks Kris

John Samuel Hill was my Gt Gt Gt grandfather and he and his wife Harriet Goodman had 6 children, James Ivey Hill 27 7 1856 St Breock, was married to a Ellen Jane Williams (Probus abt 1854 died Plymouth 1908 aged 54) according to my grandfather William Martyn Greaves Hill Birth Certifiacte. He was born 4 February 1888. James either married in Cornwall and moved to Plymouth, Devon or married in Plymouth either way cant find an entry for their marriage in either counties can you help with this one please

I was looking at 1891 census but sadly lost the page, it looked like your family In Plymouth, which is right from what you said
A son GEORGE b abt 1873 Wadebridge, James was also down as Wadebridge
Then rest of children born Devon
Maybe someone can recheck...so marriage maybe early abt 1872

or it maybe rather later?

James Hill dec qtr 1889 Portsea vol 2b pg 922 with Ellen Williams on the same page

I've found the other pair on the same page as a couple in 1891

I Have copies of both the 1881, 1891 & 1901 Census returns for James Hill when he was living in Plymouth, though it does not show a George Hill on the 1881 census he could have been staying at his grandparents on the night of the census, he is present with he rest of the family on the 1891 Census.
James is shown as a Merchant Seaman on the 1881 census so it is possible that he was still a seaman and got married some 10 years later in Portsea Hampshire, the question is why would they travell all that way just to get married. I Suppose they could have moved from Plymouth to Portsea and then moved back again  between 1888 and 1890. They lived at the same address on both 1891 and 1901 census.

If that is their marriage, they possibly married elsewhere as they had been living as a married couple for some time. Easy enough to get to by sea.

Just did a quick search and fond 3 James Hill born at Portsea between 1856 and 1873 and did the same for Ellen Williams same area and came up with 6 matches for 1856 -1873. so its probably safe to say they are not my James and Ellen who married at Portsea
