The Common Room / William TREWARTHA 1883?-1964
« on: Monday 19 December 22 02:59 GMT (UK)  »
William married Elizabeth Esther DWYER  1913 in New South Wales.
At Williams death in New South Wales in 1964 parents stated as Colun and Mary.
I have a few spare Williams that are close, but I need to be sure.
Don't have any birth-place for him.

Any clues?

thanks

Alice convicted at old bailey 1831 and was aged 24 when convicted. Also known as Alice  Ankerville at her marriage to William Wilson in Tasmania in 1834. Arrived on the "Hydery' 1832 as Alice Nankeville.
I believe she was bapt in Plymouth St Mary in 1801 d/o  John and Alice. Which brings up a new mystery, who were th ey?

Surrey Lookup Requests / Marianne Middleton
« on: Tuesday 29 March 22 22:21 BST (UK)  »
Could I please have a lookup in the 1861 or 1851 Southwark census for Marianne (or Mary Ann) Middleton, born Cornwall in 1805. She was a childless widow. Believe she died there in 1869.
Thanks

Devon / Devon Nankivells
« on: Sunday 01 November 20 21:52 GMT (UK)  »
I am having a discussion with another Nankivell family member.  Thomas Nankivell born circ 1832, in Devon, married Ann Rich. Not  in dispute. What is disputed is his parents. Some say s/o  John and Mary Bowden,  which I dispute, as they married in 1809 with 5  chn born in Cornwall,  last one in 1818.  So moving to Devon and having another son 14 years later with the mother being over 55 is highly unlikely.
Thoughts please? or anyone have access to the 1841 devon census?
Thanks

Cornwall / NANKIVELL Josiah, my brick wall
« on: Saturday 23 May 20 22:21 BST (UK)  »
More eyes may help with this one.
Josiah Nankivell, b. 1806, (depending on census, born Calstock or St Austell) married Jane Mellow in 1822 in St Austell . First child Harriet born 1820 Josiah went to jail in Bodmin in 1821 under a bastardy bond. Jane and Josiah had 6 chn 1823 to 1840.
I have no problems with the family through all the census' and Josiahs death in 1873. but who was he??
COPC has nothing close to his birth.

Any ideas where to go from here?

Between 1846 and 1851 my g/uncle Abraham Trewartha and his wife Elizabeth nee KNIGHT with a daughter Elizabeth emigrated to Canada. They had 5 children born in Ontario, 1851- 1862.
Apart from 1 child Elizabeth who married Wiliam Chapman, with 1 Chapman son Herbert who was killed in WW1 I have no contact with any of this family.
Would love to find some of my relations.
