Orlando Corn(h)ill - Barnsley

[trish251]

Nothing like the "genealogy high" when you can go from 1841 to 1901 in 30 minutes    - your colleague will no doubt become addicted.

Apologies for not finding  Charles in earlier times - lots of places to hide in Devon - I'll pm Tati for a check

regards

She's hooked already after the snippet from 1891 you provided!    Its great to see someone realising for the first time how exciting this hobby is!

Thanks again.

Thanks for calling me, Trish, but this is a job for Valda, methinks 

I can't see his birth on the complete index, I can't see ay Corn(e/i/hi)ll BMD for Barnstaple at all, and I certainly can't see him on census !     

Immaculate conception, as you say

Thanks for looking - I also searched  the FULL index - it seems to be the only time period not finished by FreeBDM    -  I wonder what was happening in Devon in the 19th Century - everyone reinvented themselves - including my immigrant!

You'll have to tell your friend that Charles Cornill is definitely a man of mystery Ticker.

Fortunately you have found the marriage, Trish. The cert might reveal further clues 

[trish251]

Possible - but he had moved out from home before the marriage - if he is not telling the truth about his birth - the father may be not too accurate either    My only other thought is that he may be much younger than stated - perhaps to get the job in the railways.  I didn't find a Charles Corn(h)ill let alone one born in Devon!

Thanks Trish and Tati - you've been brilliant!

I realise this reply is 10 years after your original query but:

Orlando Cornhill was a witness at the marriage of his sister Selina Cornhill on 1st September 1916 to my grandfather Bertram Wilfred Randle in Cudworth Parish Church.

The address of his & her father, Charles J Cornhill at the time was 130 Barnsley Road, Cudworth.

I can probably give you a bit more info if you are still following this up.
