WELLINGTON/WILLINGTON surname

[Enfield Medcalf]

Have you anything on Richard Wellington Matta?

[Jack Hayes]

Yorkie.....

   Who did he marry?, this middle name might not be on our data base, but a Richard Wellington might be?

    Jack

[Jack Hayes]

Yorkie

      Matta could be short for Matthew?

[Jack Hayes]

Hi ...Yorkie

    Richard Wellington Matta was born in 1862, St, Austell District, his father was Stephen, mother Elizabeth Harding, (m) 1858 in St, Austell District, I have no Idea where the connection is with the Wellington name?, The father Stephen and a Richard Wellington could have been good friends?, or could have been a witness at their wedding?

I hold over 11,500 descendants of the Wellington branch and I have all the Cornish Wellingtons on the database here, there is no marriage we hold with the Matta family.


Best wishes ..........     Jack

Hi Yorkie and Jack,

I have been working on something re Richard Wellington Matta on another thread

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,346345.new.html#new

I am afraid Jack is quite wrong with the marriage he has provided here. Richard Wellington MATTA's name can be explained - his mother was a Wellington or derivative 

Richard Wellington MATTA was the son of Stephen MATTA and Elizabeth WILLINGTON who married Sep 1/4 1845 St Austell 9 11.

The family are in St Anthony in Roseland in 1851 - Stephen, Elizabeth, 2 daughters and Stephens brother Richard

Elizabeth WILLINGTON was born in Gorran about 1823 (consistant in the census) Prior to marriage she is in Gorran in 1841 aged 18 - she is a FS - not living with her family. (WELENGTON) I see the family. (WILLITON) Richard 45, Ag Lab, Mary 41, Peter 14, Fanny 9, Richard 4 and Mary 3 in Gorran along with Elizabeth PILL 80 Pauper HO107/145/2 Folio 30 Page 2

Records seem to be WILLITON

Richard WILLITON = Mary PILL 26 Dec 1820 Gorran

Elizabeth WILLITON was baptised Gorran 7 Apr 1823 Parents Richard and Mary

siblings

John WILLITON 10 Apr 1825
Peter WILLINTON 22 Apr 1827
Mary Ann WILLITON 26 Apr 1829 - 27 Feb 1834 aged 5
Fanny WILLITON 29 Apr 1832
Richard WILLITON 28 Aug 1836
Grace WILLITON 11 Sep 1836

The family are in Gorran in 1851 Richard WILLATON is age 55 b Bodmin, 1861 Richard WILLATON 64 b Bodmin

Richard WILLITON was baptised 1 Jan 1796 Bodmin son of John and Grace

  Hi ....Kris
              Thank you very much for your mail.
         I have checked the 1841 census on Free Census and found this family you have found are down as Williams not Williton, Mary Pill is on that census aged 80. I have not checked the hand written census though!

WILLIAMS Richard 45 Ag Lab Cornwall          
WILLIAMS Mary 41 Cornwall     
WILLIAMS Peter 14 Cornwall    
WILLIAMS Fanny 9 Cornwall    
WILLIAMS Richard 4 Cornwall    
WILLIAMS Mary 3 Cornwall    
PILL Elizabeth    80 Pauper (Crossed Out) Cornwall     

I will carry on checking other data I have, but I have no information on a Wellington born in Gorran?

Where have you the information on the Marriage of Mary Pill and Richard Williton from

Hi Jack,

My entry was transcribed from the original. The family are certainly WILLITON not Williams, Elizabeth is WELENGTON or possible an undotted WELINGTON.

I can't find a marriage for John and Grace.    A John and Grace have children in Helland 1784-1793. We have Richard in Bodmin 1796 and finally one in Lanlivery 1799. I don't know if its all one couple or multiple couples (baptisms under WILLITON and WILLINGTON. Also a John and Grace a bit earlier in St Sampson (That marriage 1771 Grace RUNDELL)

There is a John baptised in Fowey 1756 to Richard and Elizabeth (WILLITON) possibly Richard WILLINGTON = Elizabeth KNIGHT of Fowey 21 Feb 1754 Lostwithiel.

As you can see I am moving about the parishes and not really getting anywhere I am afraid..........Kris

Fanny married as WILLITON but also like her sister used Willington as a middle name for several her children

Looks like Richard and Mary died as WILLINGTON
