I am researching Richard Kessell who married Grace Sloan and lived in Whitehaven in 1800, they had a son John Sloan Kessell.
I am not sure if this is the same area, family or time frame that you are looking for.
If it is I would be happy to send you the information I have.
Kevin.

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for your reply.
I do not have much to go on for my Kessell.
William Henry Kessell b. abt. 1836 poss. Helston area
married Elizabeth Treloar in Helston 1859.
On the marriage cert. William's father is Henry Laity a blacksmith.
William and Elizabeth's first daughter was Rebecca,
possibly that was William's mothers name.
Do any of these names ring bells?
I couln't find William on 1841 Cornwall census and am waiting for 1851 to come online.
Cheers Frances

If we have the same Hicks line in St Just in Penwith, I have taken mine back to 1666. What names are you following?

Hi Ally and Lalm,
My name is Roy White.
I have Hicks ancestry in St.Just that goes back pre 1600 including some wills. I also can supply a gedcom.
Also for Lalm I have similar for the Dunn family.
Happy to share with yoy both, Roy

Ooooohhhh! Very interested!! Thank you Ron, tell me what you need to know for me to get a copy of what informatin you have... thank you very much!

Hi Lalm,
I have attached a gedcom for the Hicks family.
Any additions or ammendments you may have would be very welcome.
I also tried to attach the 7 wills (these are in word doc. form, but it would not accept them.
However, these can be found along with about 200 I have transcribed at the following site,
West Penwith Resources
Lots there including census etc.
I look forward to hearing from you, Roy

Thank you very much! A few of these names I recognise ( from the will transcripts) but others must be siblings that I have not followed the paths of.. just going to look at the gedcom file now.. thank you again for your help.

Hello again... just a few queries re: that gedcom file..
My husbands family comes from the George Hicks born to Thomas Hicks and Eliza Trenwith born in 1876, in the gedcom you gave me you have his mother as being unknown... is this an error or are my sources incorrect? I have that he is the 6th child of Eliza and Thomas. I can send yuou my chart if you like to make it a bit easier to understand.
Alsop my husband descendes from George's second wife's family. She was Louisa Ada Busby, and they had only one daughter, Jean Mildred.
