I have started my family tree and on my cornish side & I got all exited to see names I recognise from some of you trees.

My grandparents were William Mitchell & Lena Hicks - Lenas' ancestors are William Hicks b.1755 & Anne Trembath b. c1761. His parents are either John Hicks & Elizabeth Woolcock, or Thomas Hicks & Elizabeth Warren (later married to Grace James). I have not been able to work out which but I have Thomas Hicks & Margery Grace Bans as the previous generation. Some of this may be speculation on my part, but my mothers side come from a long line of families from St Just in Penwith.

Hi Chris.
My Laity connection is very vague at this stage.
My interest is William Henry Kissell(Kessle) b. abt. 1838
on his marriage to Elizabeth Treloar at Helston his father was named as Henry Laity, Blacksmith.  We have no clue as to his mothers given name, and presume he may have been a base child of unknown Kissell and Henry Laity.  I have not been able to find him as William Kissell or William Laity on 1841 or 1851 Census.  He first appears on 1861 Census after his marriage as William Kissell.

Hi

Regarding William Henry Kissell.  I have come to the same conclusion as you regarding his parentage.  I have been unable to connect Henry Laity to whom I presume is Williams mother Mary.  I have found a parish notice for the marriage of Mary Kestle to Joseph Goldsworthy and this is in line with the census details and it appears that William probably changed his name to Goldsworthy when his mother married Joseph Goldsworthy and it appears may have changed his name back to Kissell when Joseph died. 

I can find no recrods of Mary Kistle/Kestle/Kissell or William Henry prior to her marrying Joseph Goldsworthy.  I would be interested any information there is of this family prior to her marriage.

William Henry is my 3rd great grandfather on my paternal grandmothers side but of note, my grandfathers family name is also Kissell and they came from Cornwall as well so I am very interested to see if there might be a connection back in the family lines - they came to the West Coast of NZ (and only to Invercargill in recent times) whereas William Henry and his family came to Invercargill NZ.

Thus, I am interested in any Kissell information as I have two lines to follow on my fathers side for the Kissell family.

Many thanks
Debbie FAhey (need Kissell) 

Please contact me with any Kissell information you mayh

Where did you find the parish notice of a marriage of Joseph Goldsworthy to Mary Kestel ? When did they marry ?

Was Joseph married twice ? I ask because I have him marrying Mary Winn 24 Dec 1821.
