The REYNOLDS family of St Agnes, Cornwall (early 1700s to 1850)

[Limeburner Mitchell]

G'day again Seymour

I don't know how you feel about summarising your ancestral connections in public, but researchers stumbling across this thread now - or in years to come - might thank you for sharing! 

On a personal level, I'd be curious to find out whether your James is the son of Nicholas and Jane, or James and Jane (or a different couple altogether)! 

Who knows - go back a couple more generations and we may find a connection between our Jameses! 

Warm regards

Grant

(I will use consistent spelling here, although the records vary.)

I am the great-grandson of Harriett Reynolds (1833 - 1911). She was one of 11 children born to William Reynolds (1792 - 1844) and Avis Walters (1796 - 1856) who married in Mawgan in 1820 but who lived in Mawla hamlet.
The family was:
Richard (1821-1873)
William (1823 - 1824)
Elizabeth (1825 - 1834)
Hannah/Anna (1826 - 1842)
Philippa (1828 - 1834)
William (1830 - ?)
Seymour (1832 - ?) - a blacksmith, emigrated to the USA. He was in Colorado in 1880
Harriett (1833 - 1911) - when a teenager Harriett sewed a lovely sampler with all the family names
Elizabeth (1835 - 1922)
Philippa (1838 - 1865)
Nicholas (1842 - 1922)

William Reynolds senior (1792 - 1844) was one of several children born to James Reynolds (1760 - 1827) and Elizabeth Seymour (1766 - 1845) who married in St Agnes in 1786.
The family was (probably):
Sophia Seymour (1787 - 1868)
Harriett (1789 - ? 1872)
William (1792 - 1844)
Samuel (1795 - 1846)
Jeremiah (1796 - 1849)
Kezia (1798 - ? 1852)
Elizabeth (1802 - after 1871)
Isaiah (1800 - ?)
Jane (1805 - ?)
Nicholas (? 1816 - after 1853)
Philippa (1816 - after 1871)

James Reynolds (1760 - 1827) was (probably) one of at least three children born to Nicholas Reynolds (1724 - ?) and Jane Sauden (?) who married in St Agnes in 1754. The others were William b. 1755 and Nicholas junior died 1760.

Nicholas Reynolds senior was probably born in St Agnes 1724 to William Reynolds.

Elizabeth Seymour (1766 - 1845) was one of at least 7 children born to Richard Seymour (b. 1732) and Frances Nicklas (?) who married in Kenwyn in 1759.  Richard Seymour may have been the son of William Seymour, who himself may have been the son of Christopher Seymour (or Seamers).

Thanks 'Seymouth'.  The first I know of James Reynolds at Neath Abbey was his marriage at Cadoxton to Sarah Llewelyn on 10th September 1825.  He was engaged as clerk - accoutnant- cashier and then agent at the Neath Abbey Iron Works, had 9 children baptised in Cadoxton, and died in 1862.

Hi, I am Glenn Reynolds, my father is Wendell Reynolds born in Westpoint California, my grandfather is Montie Seymour Reynolds born in Westpoint Calif, his father is William R Reynolds born in Cornwall England. William has an Uncle John James Reynolds that also lived in Westpoint with his wife Jane G no maiden name. they came from England. I think my ancestry follows the William Reynolds and Joannah Richards Reynolds. Because of the Seymour name.
