Lots more Bullens in the parish

Hi, I'm not sure, that's the only info I have & that is from ancestry hints so the dates could quite easily be incorrect.
Yes, I do have lots of BULLEN rellies :) :)

Happy New Year!
Would you be able to find a birth for Phineas Bullen please circa 1695 Cornwall possibly St Dennis?
-
The registers for St Dennis are indexed and there is no baptism showing.
It is possible that BULLEN was not his birth surname. There is a Phineas STEPHENS baptised in 1700 the son of Pascoe and Joan, a daughter Grace or Getrude in 1701, and then a marriage of a Joan STEPHENS to James BULLAN or BALLAN in 1702. All events at St Stephen-in-Brannel.
It is a bit of a longshot but may be worth investigating further.

Hi, Thank you, I have his marriage using the name Phineas Bullen married Elizabeth Blight 5th October 1721 in St Dennis, Cornwall. I believe the name was originally Boleyn but I'm not sure when the name was changed to Bullen!

A Marriage worth noting;
Maria CAN
Robertus BULLEN
21 May 1692, St James the Great, Kew
As Phineas names his 1st Son Robert it may be after his Father.
There is also a Burial;
03 May 1730, St Stephen (Brannel) for a Robert BULLAN
The 1766 Burial is the only Phineas Bullen on all on-line records
I cant find any children 1692-1702 with a Father Robert/Robertus though.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your help, it gives me something to work with 😊Emsey.
-
Your Welcome. Please let me know if you can find anyone older than Phineas. Except for some info I received about 10 years ago about an Unknown Bulen, possibly William, that was his father I've had no luck.
-
Hi Frank, yes I will, I have been chasing Phineas for years, very frustrating!
There was a post on Rootschat from someone who said they had Bullen, including Phineas right back to Boleyn and I think it said the 12th century, I did try to contact but sadly I didn't get an answer!
-
Ah yes, the Bullen - Boleyn connection. I've been chasing that for decades. Judging by the amount of info you can find on the internet by simply googling Bullen-Boleyn I'd guess a a lot of people have been looking into that.
Damn shame that you never heard back from the poster that had Bullen traced back to the 12th century.
-
Yes, my Bullens are from Cornwall England & yet the posters on here have been told by family that they were related to Anne & yet their Bullens came from Norfolk! I know my family weren't bragging about it, they felt deep shame because they believed Anne was an adulteress & was hanged, so it was a family secret!
Regards, Emsey.

It is possible that BULLEN was not his birth surname. There is a Phineas STEPHENS baptised in 1700 the son of Pascoe and Joan, a daughter Grace or Getrude in 1701, and then a marriage of a Joan STEPHENS to James BULLAN or BALLAN in 1702. All events at St Stephen-in-Brannel.
Have a look at the wording of the parish register baptisms. It was usual at this time to only name the father on baptism records and the mother was named when the child was illegitimate. Look at how the baptisms of Phiniess and Grace are worded and how they differ from the others on the page.
Phiniess the son of Joan the wife of Pascoe Stephens (baptised 25 February and recorded immediately below the later 1699 baptisms)
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-DTTP-5J
Grace the daughter of Joan the wife of Pascoe Stephens (baptised 26 December 1701)
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-DTT9-3NG
This implies that they were the children of Joan STEPHENS but not her husband. As expected, the 1702 marriage of Joan STEPHENS to James BULLEN gives no information about the couple.
