Just noticed your interest in LILLYCRAP. I have a minor connection to that name; would you like details here or on another thread?

[DOB7]

If you click on my name (LH side) you can PM me with the details. I have a fairly extensive study of LILLICRAPs and variants so would be interested to learn what you have.

[garlands]

OK. I shall do that shortly

After a very long fallow period, I have found another possibility:-

Richard GARLAND bap 23 May 1769 in Marystow to David & Anne

Marystow(e) is some 17 miles from Stoke Damerel.

I can find no death for this Richard, and no other likely marriage until that with Elizabeth DAW in 1792

I think my main concern is that, although Richard & Elizabeth had at least 7 children, they did not use the name David or Anne.

If anyone can help me confirm or eliminate this Richard, I should be most grateful

Here's a very long shot which may just be the solution. Baptised at Illogan, Cornwall 28 July 1770, Richard GARLAND son of Peter & Elizabeth. Then I checked the marriage for Peter & Elizabeth: Peter GARLAND married Elizabeth BURRELL 13 August 1769 at Illogan.
As previously noted, Richard & Elizabeth baptised one of their children: Francis Burrell GARLAND (bapt 27 Dec 1802, born 10 Oct 1802.

It may seem like a long-shot to you, but it looks like a bull's eye to me, especially with that occurrence of the BURRELL surname.
I've had so many false dawns with this one, please excuse me if I think about it for a while.
I've never been completely comfortable with Francis since I first found him, as both his forenames jarred somewhat.
For now, thanks for a great discovery.

You can check the names of all children baptised to Peter & Elizabeth at https://www.cornwall-opc-database.org/search-database/ Enter the name Peter GARLAND in the search boxes for 'person search' and then click on baptisms. You'll also find Peter's probable burial in 1826 and Elizabeth's in 1805.

Thanks. That's a new one on me.

I also follow this Garland family. Richard had a sister Elizabeth who married Samuel Daniel.
