Joseph WALKEY; b. c1795-98; St. Austell, Cornwall
« on: Sunday 18 April 04 18:40 BST (UK) »
I seek information on the following individual:

Joseph WALKEY, b. c1795/98, St. Austell, Cornwall.

He married Sussannah CARENDUFF (b. 1798, St. Helier, Jersey, Channel Islands) in 1821 in St. Helier, Jersey.  His parents are not given in his marrage record, only that he was from St. Austell, Cornwall.  Various census records give me a calculated birth date of between 1795 and 1798.

I have found two Joseph WALKEYs born in that time period in the IGI:

Joseph, chr. 5 Mar 1797, St. Austell, son of Henry WALKEY and Joan BENNETT.

Joseph, chr. 15 Apr 1798, St. Austell, son of John WALKEY and wife Mary.

Joseph might be one or the other or even neither one.  I haven't had much success in tracing either Joseph from the IGI to see if one disappears from Cornwall records and removes to Jersey.

Would like to hear from anyone who can help determine who my Joseph WALKEY is and which family he belongs to so I can clear this old brickwall that I have been coming up against for years.  Please contact me at

Ok found Jo and Sus childrens names

Also looked at the families of which the two Joseph Walkeys born in St Austell (suggested by you) were part.

Of those two I would plump for John Walkey and Mary by pattern.

Now I am going to find if anyone of those were builders/masons.

1829 Joseph Walkey buried St Austell aged 34 died accidentally Charlestown. that makes his date of birth 1795 - not helpful when we have a 1797 and 1799, unless either boy was baptised as an infant.
