Looking for any info, birth, baptism, mother's name for Hannah BLIGHT. She was daughter of John BLIGHT & ??, born c1821 in Illogan according to 1881 census, and died c1893. She married James JEFFERY 13 Jul 1840, somewhere in Cornwall, possibly Illogan. Did she have any siblings.
Had at least one daughter Jane JEFFERY born 2 Jun 1841 Illogan. Have not found any more children, although there must have been one who married a HODGE, according to 1881 census.
Would be interested in census info as well.
Many thanks
Ian C

Hi Ian,
Where did you get the fathers name from? I am guessing you do not have the marriage cert as you mention marriage somewhere in Cornwall. There is a Hannah baptised in 1821 but father is Stephen :-\ I note she had a son Stephen yet no son John.

Thanks for the census info Wozzle.
Kris - Do not have marriage cert. Fathers name came from a relly, so not confirmed.

Hi Ian,
I think you do need that cert to confirm father as this looks like her. :-\
Hannah BLIGHT 30 Sep 1821 Illogan parents Stephen and Mary
Stephen BLIGHT = Mary KEMP 24 Mar 1804 Illogan
Looks like Mary is in Illogan in 1841 with some of her children - no Hannah present.
Cheers Kris :D

Hi
I too have the same info of Hannah Blight marrying James Jeffery in Illogan, in 1840. They did have more children than Jane b 1841, Eliza, Hannah, James, Edward, Stephen, Robert. These are names I have from the census records, so there maybe more in between.
James seems to die 1851-1861, and after 1871 there is grandchildren living with Hannah.
I am from Janes line, who married a James Harris Andrew, and they went to Australia, and then on to New Zealand.
Have quite a few "Jeffery" names also if you are interested.
Regards Gail

Hi again.
Looks like Eliza marries the "HODGE", as I found Hannahs surname as MITCHELL in 1871 census.
Regards Gail

So interesting when I found this blog tonight. I am from Stephen Blight Jeffery who was Hannah and James son. I would be very interested in any help you could give me on this family, or the ancestors and/or any sites with good information. I know that Stephen, who was my grandmothers father, was killed in a mining accident in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1899.

I need to correct a wrong statement: Stephen did not die in a mining accident. He was working as a carpenter for an English company that was building train stations in south Africa. He was there only about three years when he became ill with dysentery. He was alone when he became ill and by the time help came to him he was too ill to recover. He died Jan 31, 1899. My grandmother, was his daughter and she was 11 years old at the time. My mother, her daughter just told me this story about his death. Sorry for the error, I was confusing him with one of his sons who was killed in a mining accident in Cornwall around 1919.
