climo family

[CaroleW]

The problem with trying to trace back from William is that there is no concrete evidence at the moment on which to base a search

The 1881 shows he was born Penzance.  However - Beatrice is also shown as b Penzance yet the 1891 and 1901 show Marazion and Ludgvan

William's occupation does not help on an 1871 search as he was only 12yrs old at that time

Climo is spelt several ways and in 1861 there are 3 William H Clemo's and 2 William Clemo's.  Also a William Clymo

All were born Cornwall but none were born in Penzance and the only one with a father called John was b St Austell

From the IGI

William Henry Clemo Baptism/Christening Date: 03 Jun 1860  SAINT AUSTELL
Father's Name: John Clemo Mother Elizabeth

Thanks CaroleW for your interest and help. I will check the William H Clemo's as i have only looked at climo's.
Its a mystery to me why Beatrice remarried under her maiden name rather than Climo.
Seems William Henry must have done something really bad or perhaps they never divorced.Who knows?

Your information is very helpful and I'm amazed how quickly you gain it.Once again Thanks.

I notice you say that you "believe" his father was John

unfortunately dont have marriage certificate just yet but believe william henry climo' fathers name was john

It may be an idea to get a copy of the cert and confirm his fathers name and occupation just to be on the safe side

Just to add to the problems - he could have been illegitimate!!

I was browsing the Polruan census for 1861 and realised that there were four or five families of Climos there. Since the Cornwall online census is free suggest you peek at all the years and get a picture of where they came from etc. Polruan is under 'Lanteglos in Fowey' to save you searching for it.

Good luck

After 9 months of research and investigations i am still intrigued and mystified by my ggf William Henry Climo.
On his marriage certificate to Beatrice Bennetts it states his father as John,but i think this may really have been his Grandfather on his mothers side. The reason for this is that i obtained the birth certificate for William Henry Cornish Climo and he was born illegitimately to Ann Climo, whose father was John Saunders Climo if i have the right family.
I do believe this was my Great Grandfather.
The other theories i have are that he later dropped the name Climo and used Cornish as his surname.I have no hard proof of this but a William Henry Cornish born1858 in Penzance appears on London Censuses.He was also a Tailor.Apparrently he married a Mary from Porthleven Cornwall but i have searched and searched and cannot find her or her Maiden name. Stuck again!

Hi,

Later Mary CORNISH is with her daughter Mary Melvina and married daugher Margaret MUNDY in Bristol, William Henry CORNISH is an Inmate in HM prison, Gloster Road Bristol,

This could be his death,

William H CORNISH    Jun Q 1911    Bristol    6a  131
Age: 52


Do you have William in 1861 and/or 1871 as either CLIMO or CORNISH?


Regards,
Daisy

Looks like you are right Daisy.I do believe that is his death.And so he ended up in prison,how could i find out what he was jailed for?
This must be the same person because i do recall William Henry CLIMO having some relation,an aunt i think,named Melvina.With such an unusual name like this it seems too much of a coincidence to have a daughter with the same name.
The only census i have him on as William Henry CLIMO is the 1881 where he is married to Beatrice Bennetts and living in Redinnick Terrace, Penzance.He then dissappears.

Hello!

I have a record for a William Henry Climo, born in 1851. His family lived in St Austell, Bodmin, Cornwall.
His parents were George Climo & Mary Ann Cook, who married in 1838.
Their children were:
Rebecca Climo (born 1840)
Mary Ann Climo (born 1843). She married Richard Rowe, in Bodmin, 1862
Samuel Cook Climo (born 1846). He married Emily Searle, in Bodmin, 1880
William Henry Climo (born 1852). No other information is given.

I have the Climo Book, "Mabinogi an Clem" (The Children of Clem). It's the family book, written by Canadian Climo cousins. I am a Climo descendant, through Christopher Climo & his wife, Mary Booking. Their son, James Booking Climo is my 4th gr.grandfather & emigrated to NZ in 1840.

How are you getting on with your Climo research?

Kind regards,

Amber

Hi Amber,

Welcome to RootsChat

Are you looking for info about William Henry CLIMO b.1852, son of George and Mary? If so I think I can see him in the censuses until 1911, let me know if you would like me to transcribe the images for you.

Regards,
Daisy
