     Hi, I have just read you inquiry about William Henwood and Elizabeth Whale. If
  you are able to access the Ancestry web site there is some information that you may find interesting and could help in tracing the family tree.


        Regards Dexter.

Hi Dexter
Many thanks for your reply.  I am building my family tree on Ancestry and without actually looking at the original certificates there is some confusion as to which John Henwood is our "John Henwood".  We have the same problem with William Pope there are several of them as well.  I would just like to clarify if the Elizabeth was Whale or Pascoe.  Do you know if you can access old births, etc. in the Truro register office.  Ia m also a member of Cornwall Family History but they only seem to have baptisms which rarely state the date of birth.  Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all, sorry to butt in here but have some info;

MARRIAGES;

10 Oct 1799, St Hermes, St Ervan
John HENWOOD to Elizabeth PASCOE
Witnesses William Brewer and William Cockin
The bride signed with a mark

3 Sept 1808, Holy Trinity, St Austell
John HENWOOD, Bachelor of St Martins Parish
Elizabeth WHALE, Spinster of St Austell Parish
Witnesses Joseph and Richard Martyn


Now Kitty and Stephen Henwood were Witnesses to  William/Janes 1833 Marriage.

When Kitty married Samuel HONEY, Widower, in 1843 she named her Father as JOHN Henwood, Occp Bargeman.

So from Census William Henwood is born c 1801=1803 so born before the Marriage of John Henwood to Elizabeth Whale.

1841 in Little Petherick we have;
John Henwood, 65, Bargeman
Elizabeth Henwood, 60
James Henwood, 20
Catherine Henwood, 15
All born in County

Burials;
St Petroc, Little Petherick
ELIZ'TH Henwood 11 Aug 1842 age 62 (birth c 1780)
JOHN Henwood 15 July 1851 age 76, ( birth c 1775) died suddenly. Also known as GREEN

1851 Census John is born c 1775 St Ervan.

Hi Trish
That's where I have my problem, I am 100% sure which John Henwood is my 3rd great grandfather.  Whichever one it was had a son William about 1801, born Little Petherick. He married Catherine Caddy and they are buried with my great Uncle Thomas Henry Pope possibly in Little Petherick.

Looking at the marriage dates the 1799 one would be right.

Yes that is what I was trying to say
