I'm back trying to find my Cornish roots and I'm looking for information on William Edward Renfrey who was born about 1755 in Kenwyn. I traced him through his son Thomas who was born about 1778 also in Kenwyn and who married Jane Datson. In the mid 1800s a descendent moved to west Wales to work in the hard rock mines of that area.
I would greatly appreciate any information on William Edward such as parents, siblings, marriage and any other children also, if possible, information on his wife and her family.
Thanks in anticipation
Dave
