    Hi  QuayGar,

                        I am also related to John Green Henwood through his son Francis Henwood who travelled to Australia and married Mary Yule in 1855 in Melbourne Victoria.
                         I do have some more information I can share with you.


                  Regards Dexter

Hi Dexter,

Delighted to get your reply. My line is through Francis's brother William who was one of the first maritime pilots at Padstow.  I had no idea what happened to Francis so your reply is most welcome.  As a newby to Rootschat, I haven't clocked up enough posts yet for you to pm me so I'll need to get working on that but will look forward to hearing from you.

Forgot to add this link about the common use of "alias" in Cornwall:

[QuayGar]

Thanks for the link ref aliases.  In John Green Henwood's case I believe illegitimacy a generation or so previously could be behind the use.

Hi I am related to the Henwoods in Little Petherick although there seems to be a little confusion as to whether my John Henwood which would have been my 3rd Great Grandfather married an Elizabeth Whale or Pascoe.  This seems to be the biggest problem where names are passed down.  My 2nd great grandfather William Henwood 1801- 1876 was married to Catherine Caddy.  So it would be interesting to compare your John Henwood with mine.
All the best
