Cornwall / Finding my Great Grandmother, Eliza Emily (Minnie) Trestrail JENKIN
« on: Tuesday 29 May 12 05:15 BST (UK) »
May 28 2012 - Searching for the Burial Site of my great grandmother, Eliza Emily (Minnie) Trestrail Jenkin.
It's 2 years later, and I've requested a birth certificate for my grandfather, Percy Powning Trestrail DOB February 26, 1886. His mother was Eliza Emily (Minnie) Trestrail and father is unknown. The search is over and now I know that I will never know who my great grandfather is.
My great grandmother, Eliza Emily (Minnie) Trestrail married William Henry Jenkin in March 1893 when my grandfather was 7 years old. It looks like my grandfather stayed and lived with his grandparents after his mother married. And my grandfather, Percy Powning Trestrail went into the military service at a very young age. His grandparents were William and Eliza Powning Trestrail of Hayle.
Eliza Emily Minnie Trestrail Jenkin and her husband William Henry Jenkin had 5 children which I was shocked to discover my grandfather had half brothers and sisters.
William Arthur Jenkin
Charles Garnett Jenkin DOB June 15 1897 Bapt Sept 30 1897 Bodriggy St. Hayle
Eliza Minnie Jenkin DOB July 18 1898 Bapt May 4 1899 Copperhouse Hill
Walter Perry Jenkin
Elizabeth M Jenkin
According to the Phillack PR:
William Henry Jenkin was buried 29 Nov 1908 – my great grandmother’s husband.
Elizabeth (Eliza Powning Trestrail ) was buried 28 Nov 1900 - my great gt grandmother
William Trestrail was buried 19 March 1904 – my great gt grandfather
Elizabeth Trestrail was buried 15 Jan 1929.(Blind daughter of William & Eliza Trestrail)
If Minnie was still living in Phillack at the time of her death she also might be buried there with her parents, William & Eliza Powning Trestrail, her sister, Elizabeth, and her husband, William Henry Jenkin. It is possible that there are no Headstones for their graves.
Perhaps Minnie & William married in a non conformist church or chapel & that Elizabeth M & Walter Perry were bapt in a non conformist church or chapel.
On the Genuki website the online burials only go up to 1929. The Online Parish Clerk for the parish is John Smith. I emailed him last week. (Genuki, Cornwall, Phillack webpage or from the Online Parish Clerk, Cornwall, webpage.) I have not heard from him, yet. I hope I had the correct email address.
I want to note that my other computer that has all the Family Tree Maker’s information has a monitor down and I can not access it. It’s very maddening for me that I cannot access it for more detailed information. I must make hard copies of everything as soon as I get a monitor working.
What happened to my great grandmother, Eliza Emily Minnie Trestrail Jenkin. She was widowed at age 44 and she had 5 young children. Perhaps she re-married. It took all these years to confirm who she was and now I cannot follow her life to her burial.
I'm readng a page I wrote on in August 1990 when I was in Hayle looking for my great grandparents. It says that my grandfather was in the Royal Navy from age 16 in 1902 - 1922. He was married to Bessie Knight, of Hayle at age 36 at Parash Phillack of Hayle, S. Elwyn Vicarage, Wesleyian on Feb. 3, 1923. They sailed to America and are buried in Brooklyn, NY.
I’m not clear on what Phillack really means. Is it a church? A village run by a church? Is it a village?
Also, in August 1990, I knocked on the door of 21 Bodriggy Ct. and made a statement that my grandfather and great grandmother may have lived there and did the name Minnie Jenkin Trestrail ring a bell. The young lad was Roger Jenkin and he said, "I'm a Jenkin" and I said what a coincidence, but I'm looking for information on my great grandmother and grandfather Minnie and Albert Trestrail. DUH....I had no idea Minnie was a Trestrail and married a Jenkin. Maybe this man was a descendent of my great grandmother. I don't know how I got that exact address. It must have been on the documents that my sons lost. sigh.
Thank you for anyone that can enlighten me.
