May RICHARDS born 1897 Germoe, Cornwall
« on: Friday 04 May 12 07:09 BST (UK) »
Hi. I'm looking for possible descendants of my 2nd great-aunt May Richards born 1897 in Germoe, Cornwall.  Her mother was Mary Ann Richards who died in July 1909 in the Infirmary in Penzance. May's last known address was listed as Millpool, Germoe.  She was living with her Aunt Janie Richards (now deceased), her brother Sampson Richards (moved to the States) and with her niece Winnifred Richards (born May or June of 1911).  I'm wanting to know if May or Winnifred ever married and had children.  Side note: both May and Winnifred were illegitimate children.  Any help would be appreciated.

welcome to Rootschat!

You should remove that census before the copyright editor does!

Hi,
I couldn't find May's birth but it looks as if Mary Jane had a daughter Amelia.
Baptism Germoe
12 May 1898
Amelia Richards
Mary Ann Richards mother of Mill Pool
Could this be May?

How many children did Mary Ann have?  I presume Sampson was illegitimate as well seeing as mother is single in 1901.

I appreciate the replys.  I have the birth, baptism, and census data up to 1911.  I put up the 1911 census showing that this was as far as I got and had her last known address as Millpool Germoe but I didn't know it was against the rules so I had to take it down.

Her brother was my great-grandfather and I have traced the Richards line back to the 1800's there in Breage.  What I am trying to find is if May married and had children.  Also if her niece Winnifred Richards born at Millpool Germoe in 1911, daughter of Jane Richards, ever married.  I've exhausted all possibilities apart from seeking specialists that might have studied the area.  It is a very small rural village.

Thanks, Merrie

Hi Merrie,
My apologies re Amelia Perhaps if you could post details of May's birth registration & baptism it may help-like Milliepede I was unable to find May's birth registered in 1897.

You had the correct baptism.  She was baptized with the name Amelia but never went by that name in the 1901 and 1911 census records.

Oh thanks for that so there is no child called May that I spent hours looking for!
If your looking for a marriage then surely her marriage would be Amelia Richards
