It's Gone Wrong

[gralorn]

So am I correct then in thinking that Richard Langmaids mother and father were John Langmaid (Carpenter) and Mary Weymouth Broad and that he was one of six children, three girls, Margaretta, Selina and Matilda and three sons Richard, Francis and Henry. Also that John Langmaid died well after 1821 at the age of 36 as I have recorded on the family history. Is there a date of which John his father did die anywhere?

Your assistance has been most appreciated especially as the error is not such a disaster as it first seemed'

Thank you

There's a John Langmaid death in 1865 (Sept quarter) in Liskeard registration district (would that cover Lanreath?). No age given though.

Modified to add... possible burial to match in Lansallos parish church on 12 Aug 1865, John Langmaid, aged 71 (estimated birth 1794).

Well, well.   Looks like wife Mary died between 1861 and 1871 because in 1871 John 75  Carpenter b.Lansallo is with a new wife Rebecca 42 and has a 6yr old son named Frank.   They are living in St. Veep now - ref. RG10 - 2245 - 67 - 7.

John died Sept.qtr.1877 as LONGMAID.

Looks like Mary died - also as a Longmaid - in Dec.1858 Liskeard.   John remarried a Rebecca Best in Mar.qtr.1860.   On 1861 census he's knocked some years off his age and says born St. Veep but in 1871 - as already detailed - back to birthplace of Lansallos.   

By 1881 Rebecca living alone (Carpenters widow).   Son Frank d.1874.

There's a baptism for a John Longmaid in Lansallos in 1794, parents John and Rebecca..

I feel sure that in my own mind that the John Langmaid who was buried at Lansallos Parish Church on the 12 Aug 1865 aged 71 was the father of Richard Langmaid who was born on the 28 Oct 1818 and married twice to Elizabeth Pearce in 1849 and Jane Anne Lander in 1857. I also feel that the father John Langmaid was married to Mary Wymouth Broad and they had seven children, Richard 1818, Ann 1821, Margaretta 1823, Francis 1824, Selina 1832, Matilda 1835, and Harriett dob: NK. I also feel that Rebecca Best is part of the 'Rich' family and not my side of the Langmaids. This being well I know have to confirm the father and mother of John Langmaid born approx 1794. It'll hopefully sort out this time around.
Regards and many, many thanks for the help up to now, so much appreciated.

I think you are wrong re the 1865 death for John the carpenter, father of Richard.  John, the carpenter was still alive in 1871 with much younger wife. Only one John born 1790's was a carpenter and he was the father of Richard.  The other John born similar time/place was an Ag.lab married to a Susannah and I think it was him who died in 1865.
