Have you got the marriage of John 1805 and Mary?

Freebmd has a possibility
John Gill bac abode St Teath married Mary Brown Richards sp abode St Endelion at St Endelion on 7 July 1832.

Hi

No I don't have John & Mary's wedding.
John was born in poughill baptised on 3-7-1806

I'm unsure on all of John & Mary's children. I have a Richard, Ann, Mary, & Betsy who are potentially theirs. Can anyone confirm this.

[LizzieL]

1851 census has John and Mary with children William, John and Frank.

1861 census they have Betsy Smith married daughter with them

1871 is confusing, John is down as grandfather, with Jane as wife and William as son. But I think it must mean the household is Jane (wife of John's son William) and their William and Jane's son William (1864) who is John's grandson. William snr possibly away at sea on census night.

I can't see a Richard anywhere apart from with another John and Mary in St Austell

[TaraLGill]

Betsy I've got born 1833 lanteglos
Mary born 1836 lanteglos
Ann born 1838 lanteglos
Richard born 1839 lanteglos

So I'm assuming most are married & left the house by the time of the cencus

[LizzieL]

Cornwall OPC site has the baptism of a Betsy Gill in St Teath to John and mary on 1  1833, abode Marows in Lanteglos, his occ Farmer

Or they could have died young. Richard would only be 12 in 1851 a bit young to leave home but he could have been staying with rellies. I haven't found the family in 1841

We've also find Betsy living with them in 1861 married as Betsy Smith so I'd say she's correct.
