Searching The Medland's

[Davemed]

This is my family history below briefly.  It is if anyone knows about my family in Cornwall or can help.
I can be contacted at (*) or through the website.

Christopher was born 1905 and his parents were John James Medland (born 1872) and Catherine Decker (born 1877) who married in 1897.
John James Medland was the son of William Medland (b 13.5.1843) and Mary Elizabeth Miles (1845) who married 20.4.1869. William was a mariner and died sometime between 1872 when John was born and 1876 when Mary re-married to Griffith Owen.
William Medland was the son of Thomas Medland born 1824 Looe Cornwall and Loveday Toms born 1823 Morval Cornwall. Loveday was the daughter of Richard and Susannah Toms.
Thomas Medland was the son of John Medland born 1772 Looe and Elizabeth born 1773 Looe Cornwall.

Thanks.

Another 25 hits on Non-conformist baptisms.
And 54 marriages with a Medland groom + 47 marriages with a Medland bride.

I have now completed the Medland family tree as far as I can go.  Friends I know who research families have helped as well.  Overall RootsChat was my main source of help and this gratefully appreciated.
Thank you all.
