i have just realised i have read the records wrong,,,the addresses given are not the addresses of the owner of the graves,,but the address of the person who was being buried ..i have edited the posts so they make more sense

Oh my goodness,  another one in that grave! Yikes.  But I am thrilled to have the info.

Turns out that the A W hosking that owned the grave property after his mom died, was not my William Hosking, but their son, Albert Whitford Hosking.  He was born in Redruth in 1839 and died in London in 1900.

My William, who I think was a criminal, was also an iron founder, b. 1808 in St. Uny, Redruth and died in 1880, Redruth.  I have him in the 1841 and 1851 censuses with wife Eliz Betsy and she has babies with him through Nov 1852.  But by 1861 Betsy and surviving kids are in Camborne with dau Priscilla Harris and husband Abraham; 1871 in Cheetham, Lancashire as well as 1881, when she is enumerated finally as widow.  But under every creative spelling I can think of, I cannot locate William in 1861 or 1871,then he dies in 1880.  He was an iron founder in the 1841 and 1851 censuses and had the Hammer Mill foundry in Redruth in 1855 according to the West Britton and Cornwall Advertiser.  Also, he pops up in that newspaper from time to time in trouble with the police...

Thanks for the info on Rosina...man, Betsy lost a lot of kids....Meli
