Title: Elizabeth WHALE
Post by: dexter on Wednesday 13 February 13 03:14 GMT (UK)
Hi,  I am looking for information about Elizabeth Whale who married John Henwood 3-9-1808 at St Austell Cornwall.
       I was hoping to find her mother's and father's names and if possible her date of birth and death.
        Any news would be great.

            Regards   Dexter.

OK I think that I can help here.

I looked at the marriage and the witnesses were the Martyn brothers who I have recently been helping another researcher with.

The Martyns through the mothers side of the family were related to the Northy family of Altarnun. Joan Northy married Thomas Whale in Altarnun and Elizabeth Whale 1783 was one of their children. Several of the Northy girls married in the St Austell area.

I am sure that it is the 1788 one as Joan was a Northy and that is the connection to St Austell and the Martyn brothers.

   Hi,       Thank you both for all the information you sent me. I think that Thomas and Joan are the right parents. I will now be able to add them to my tree.

               Regards  Dexter.

Hi
Elizabeth Whale has caused some brow scratching in my family tree!  One of my ancestors is a John Henwood, born 1776 St Ervan.  According to a distant cousin in Canada she was married to that John Henwood but I think John Henwood was actually married to an Elizabeth Pascoe.  Have you any information as to what children the Elizabeth Whale had so that I can compare.
All the best
