I am searching for any information on my ancestor, born before her baptism as Ann Giddy on 1 January 1836 in Warleggan, Cornwall, the daughter of John and Ann Giddy or Gedye, later Giddey. Ann had a son, John Charles Giddy, born 1859 in St. Neot, father unnamed. Ann later married, as far as I am aware, Paul Penrose, in 1870. John's death certificate (NSW, Australia) shows his mother's name as Ann Weary and his father's as John Charles Giddey. I have been unable to verify the last two names and can find no other John Charles Giddey. Ann had a brother, John Coppin Giddy or Gedye. I am a total novice at genealogy and have no Ancestry or other subscriptions at present. John Charles Giddey was my mother's grandfather. Paul Penrose was gaoled for something, I think, according to records of Cornwall. I don't know whether Ann Giddey (John's mother) went to Australia following her son who served with the Royal Marines. John appears with Ann in the 1861 and 1871 England Censuses and in London in the 1881 England Census, on the ship the Forrester. John served in World War I and later became Harbour Master in Victoria. Later he had a shop in Sydney, Australia. He married Mary Ann (Marianna) Babarovic(h) and they had four children.
Ann simply disappears from all records after her marriage to Paul Penrose. They had no children. He later remarried and had children. I cannot tell whether Ann died or they divorced or just disappeared. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.
