James Henry TERLOUR

[SallyOwens]

James Henry Terlour , a woodcarver, lived in Pancras, London. Apparently born in Plymouth, Devon around 1820/21. Have not found his birth in Plymouth registers so far. Very few Terlours in England - mostly Portsea, Alverstoke, Plymouth  and Falmouth. News of any would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,

I am moving this topic into the Devon board where it will be seen by those with expertise in the area.

Good Luck,

Hi

I have Terlours in my Maternal line.  I have found them in the census returns spelt Tellore!  I think that Terlour maybe the result of a "clerical" error and was Treloar but I would love to be proved wrong 

My earliest Terlour was born Falmouth.  He married in 1845 but I haven't found his birth yet.

Regards,

Jackie

Hello Jackie,
I also think Terlour has possibly come from Trelour, Tellore etc as a result of being mis-spelt. But the fact that there are so few in all the records, makes me wonder were they all from the same original family, or were there lots of different people mis-spelling their names?!
At the moment these are the branches I know of :-
 My own branch in London from James Henry who came from Plymouth.
The branch in Plymouth.
TheTerlours in Cornwall.
 The branch in Hampshire, living in Portsmouth/Alverstoke.
That seems to be all there is. I assumed thatnthey originated in Cornwall and then moved away to find work.
I have been compiling a list of any Terlours (or any one resembling the name)for some time. If you give me details of your Terlours, I will see if I have got anything else on them.

Regards,

Sally

Hi Sally,

My Great Great Grandma was Harriet Ann Terlour born Gosport - daughter of John Terlour born Falmouth circa 1820 and Mary Ann (Mortimore) They married 21/07/1845.

I'd love to receive any info on Terlour's as I haven't done any research on this side of my family yet.

Kind regards,

Jackie

Hello Jackie,

I expect you've probably got this info already - but heregoes.
I found John Tellore (Terlour) on the 1851 Census for Alverstoke living at 42 Wyper Alley with Mary Ann and children Harriett & John. John, a waterman, born Falmouth in 1814.His father was also John and a yeoman.

In 1851 census for Devon, found Abednigo Terlour, aged 70 living with wife Betsey in Plymouth. He was also born in Falmouth.   I wonder if  John senior and Abednigo were brothers? This might mean that my ancestor, James Henry (born Plymouth circa 1820) might be one of their sons and brother/cousin to your John. Unfortunately I have not been able to trace him prior to living in London.
I made contact several yearsago with a lady from Portsmouth researching her husbands family - he was from the King family - I believe Robert Stone King married Harriett Ann Terlour?
I have got lots of name sof Terlours I have found in BMD and Censuses , but nothing else about the earlier ones.
Hope this helps,

Sally
