Hi

To lookup a marriage in the parish records - you need to supply details of which church it took place in

These are the areas covered by Truro RD - including St Clement

I'm also interested in this chap.
My great great Grandmother was Mary Jane Penhaligon (nee Davey) It seems she married James Dawson Webb in 1900. Her first husband Samuel Penhaligon died in 1892.

And I found the a newspaper report of a James Dawson Webb who died in 1927 in Gunnislake.

As everybody else has found he seems to be a difficult one to track down. His date of birth seems to change more often than his wives.

[Annette7]

James Dawson Webb was born 1851 (December quarter) - as has been suggested earlier, he was the illegitimate son of a Maria Webb and not baptised until 11th January 1854 Truro i.e. the father he names as James Webb when he married was fabricated.   His fatber may have been named James but more likely to have been a 'Dawson' since this was given as his second name.

Now that IS interesting, so as far back as 1841 there was a Penhaligon connection.
