Edward WHITE m. Maria Northy LAITY Sep qtr 1910 in Helston

[tiggi]

Hi Chris
 This isn;t my family either the Whites etc I was helping a lady to do her tree that is why I posted
I can tell you this though they were very much a Cornish family coming from St Keverne and later Helston
They married many families again all Cornish and were either Farmers Blacksmiths or as in later years Innkeepers
It is a very tight knit community here in Cornwall and most likely as I have said before they are related be distant cousins

You might be interested to know there is a Museum in Helston with alot of local history recorded there if you wish to pursue more, many families went to Australia it was a common thing down here back then to  encourage many to go with promises of a better life

I won;t post anything more as if there is no interest its abit pointless
good luck with your family search

Hi Tiggi

Every month I get an email from Graham Matthews detailing changes on his "History of Helston" website. The address is as follows: http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~helstonhistory/index.htm

It is pretty good, and I like to look at all the new images he posts.

Yes, part of what we all do as volunteers is the knowledge that sometimes you get used and thrown away. Those that want to stick around me join my internet group.

I have all sorts of books, CDs and censuses, so if you want any look-ups then just let me know.

All the best

Chris

Hi Chris,
I have found an Elizabeth PENROSE 1429, who married a Laurence TREMAYNE my 13th Great Grandfather.   Do you have any further information about her or other relations at about that time

Hi there

I have looked at my Visitations CD, and the TREMAYNE's and Sithney PENROSE's seem to have linked around this time through Elizabeth and Laurence, and Jeffrey PENROSE AND Mawde TREMAYNE.

Elizabeth is not mentioned on the Visitations - very few women were mentioned in the family trees from about the 15th century backwards in time that were not heirs.

From the date, I believe her to have been either a cousin or sister of Jeffrey's.

Without further sources such as wills and deeds, and the original parish registers, I couldn't say anything for sure.

Regards

Chris

Give Redruth local studies a ring or email.
They are very helpful and may be able to find a newspaper death notice for you.They have electoral rolls as well but i'm not sure if they keep them for helston.
I've found them to be much better than the records office in Truro.

Lifesabeech: A number of Cornish organisations work together to bring family history records to life.

An ongoing project started a couple of years ago by the CFHS, in conjunction with the Truro Records Office, is to copy and transcribe all Wills that are held by them - nearly all Cornish.

When complete, a set of CD's will be available. Information requests about this project to CFHS at secretary[at]cornwallfhs.com  replace [at] with @

AlanJohn67: Some of the posters have gone off topic, but if your post is about White/Laity; thank you, but the original requestor has lost interest and decided she didn't really like that side of the family anyways (for now!).

Regards

Chris
