TIPPET, TOCKER & DUNSTONE

[..claire..]

Hi

I too have looked at name variants and found this on this site. By putting in GAV(E)RIGAN in the given name box ~ the search will list all variants. In the soundex variants GAVRIGAN became GABRIJEL or GABRIJELA.

 Maybe the local dialect was a factor in the way the rector recorded the baptisms

Looking at the baptism of Katherine it says~ GABRI TEPPET

John ~ GABRIEL TEPPET

Samuel ~  GABREGON TIPPAT

On a lighter note maybe the clergyman was a little hard of hearing or just couldn't spell

Claire,

   To summarise the Wendron situation, I have:-

07 Feb 1646/47 Thomas          father Gabryyan TIPPAT
02 Mar 1655/56 Richard              "     Gabrial    TEPPAT
23 Jan 1667/68  Jane                  "     Gav,        TEPPAT
27 Apr 1669       Barvan              "     Gab.        TIPPET
29 Nov 1670      Thomas             "      Gavar.     TIPPET
13 Dec 1675      John                  "     Gabriel     TEPPET
05 Mar 1676/77 Katherine           "     Gabriel      TEPPET

   I deduce from the above that, over the span of 30 years, we are probably dealing with two fathers with a common (or uncommon) Christian name which, with the possible combination of a strong Cornish accent and a hard-of-hearing curate, gets rendered phonetically as what appear to be 5 different names. If only we could find the baptism of Gabriel by Gabriel (or whatever) c1650, that would clinch it.

Claire,

   In addition to the children of Gabriel, I also have:-

20 Feb 1670/71  Catherine    father Mar.      TIPPET
08 Jun 1672       Peter              "     Daniel   TEPPET
19 Apr 1673       Daniel            "      Daniel   TOPPET
26 Apr 1674       Ann               "      Daniel    TIPPET
08 Dec 1674       John             "       Martyn   TEPPET
29 Oct 1676       Elizabeth        "      Daniel    TEPPAT
24 May 1679      Elizabeth        "      Daniel     TEPPAT

Claire,

   The Will of Gavrigan TIPPET which you forwarded, includes a bequest:-

           "To son Richard TIPPIT 10L to be paid after 9 years........."

implying that said son probably is a minor aged about 11 - 12 years in 1666.

   As you pointed out, the IGI has a baptismal record:-

             02 Mar 1655 at Wendron, Richard TIPPIT, father Gabrial

   I suggest that this is the Richard referred to in the Will and that this, therefore, proves that Gavrigan and Gabrial are one and the same person. Do you agree?

Regards

Hi

Well spotted  That makes perfect sense, Richard getting his money when he 'comes of age'

I definitely think they are one and the same.

Just trying allsorts to find any references to Gaverigan TIPPETT. Not having much luck at the moment.

Definitely think that this branch of the TIPPETS may have come from the St Wenn/ St Columb Major area ~  but can't prove it, apart from Gaverigan TIPPETT being in St Wenn c1641.

I have a few Will abstracts for Tippetts in St Wenn, but can't tie them to Gaverigan TIPPETT.

Bit of Trivia ~ Gaverigan ~  Cornish for 'many goats', is derived from a place name in the parish of St. Columb Major. Jennet Gaverigan, widow of John, died in 1619 and was the last person to bear the name as a surname. For several generations female descendants of this family foisted Gaverigan as a given name on some of their sons.

Claire,

   I've posted the results of our findings to Craclyn in 'The Common Room', and suggested that we can now close that topic.

Claire,

   Following your suggestion re the origins of the TIPPET family, I've e-mailed a query to the OPC for St Wenn to see if he can help us. Unfortunately, St Columb Major does not have an OPC at present.

Hi garlands and Claire.t, I have recently discovered a Dunstone. She is Charity bap. Wendron 15.09.1716, the daughter of Nicholas Dunstone and I believe Prudence Prisk(e).

Charity married William Pearce 17.06.1738 Wendron and had five children.

Have you chanced upon her in your findings? If so that probably indicates we are
 related.

I am still working on this side of the family so do not have lot of info. However I have been watching this post with interest.

I am away for a week from Saturday (14th march) but now I have made my mark so to speak I will get notifications and will catch up on my return.

I have not discovered any Tippet or Tocker people in my family history so can't offer any help there!
 
When I return from my holiday I will knuckle down with the Dunstone's and let you know what I find.
